New Bullock rides

So I picked up these boards from Jacob Bullock yesterday.

Couldn't be more STOKED on the way they both turned out.

The guy will take any design concept and turn it into a

functional piece of surf-stokedom like you wouldn't believe.

The first is 5'10" x 21 1/2" x 2 13/16" and is meant for

crappy, mushy surf.

The second is 6'2" x 20 1/2" x 2 5/8" and is meant for waves

from waist-overhead.

Both are fuggin' rad!

Jacob Bullock Surfboards

Those of you that know me, know that I've been getting boards from Jacob Bullock (http://bullocksurfboards.com/) for some time now. I think I've had him shape me 6 up to this point, with three more boards currently on the way. Jacob used to work here in Oceanside at OSI glassing, shaping his own boards, doing some 'production' work for a couple different shapers, and polishing many of the beautiful Takayama boards that make their way through the factory. Not long ago, he decided to turn his operation into a one-man show, moving into his private 'lab' in neighboring Fallbrook and putting out incredible boards for a growing number of stoked local (and not so local) folks. Occasionally he sends boards through a couple of local glass shops, but most are designed, shaped, and glassed by him alone, allowing for control over every step of the build process. Needless to say, his boards are insane and I, for one, will continue getting most of my surfboards through Jacob. He's a really good guy, incredibly stoked on building surfboards that work, and has a very bright future ahead of him has a respected board builder. Hit him up if you're in the market for a board, long or short! Pics of the boards Jacob has shaped me...

Worst....winter....ever?

Since I've lived in San Diego (from 1995 with a 3-year stint in Florida), I cannot remember a winter surf season that has been as piss poor as this year...so far. I've spent more time out of the water over the past 2 months than I have over the past few years combined. That's all about to change though. Why? Because I have 4...count 'em...FOUR new boards on the way within the next few weeks. I have my local shaper Jacob Bullock shaping me 2 shorty hybrid sticks AND a new log, and fellow blogger Brownfish shaping me a new 'HP Fishy' as well. We're due for a solid month-long run of swell, me thinks! Thank me later....
