9'5" Bullock beauty

Jacob Bullock had shaped me a 9'4" classic noserider last year that

I had really been enjoying for what it was...a classic style noserider.

Unreal tip-time, but wasn't the easiest to turn or the most

versatile log in general. I saw this model at his place that he had

shaped for another customer, and knew I had to have one. He calls

this model the 'Bully' since the original was shaped for a big Samoan

friend of his who's a bully...plus the fact that you can take all of the

waves you want with it. I call it 'Butter'.

I've only surfed this a couple of times so far, but from the very first

session, I knew this was what I was after. Catches waves like, well,

a bully, and is soooooooo smooth off the bottom, off the top and on

turns. To top it off, the board noserides at least as good (probably

better) than the original noserider. Best first impression I've ever

had from any longboard...and I've been on some really good ones.

If you're looking for an unbelievable all-around longboard, this is

the one. Already have another friend who ordered one and a bunch

of people asking about it as a possible next order.

Look forward to summer fun on this baby!

New shred sled from Brownfish

A while back, Gary (Brownfish) shaped me a really fun keel fin fish

based off of his beloved Pavel Superbank...but blown up to my size.

I've really enjoyed that board and have had some memorable

waves on it all over the place. Gary is somewhat of a hobbyist shaper

as he has a full-time career, wife and kids, house...the whole bit.

He shapes a few boards for friends and aquaintances and has, in a

very short period, become pretty damn skilled at turning foam

into fun surfing vehicles.

At the last Sacred Craft Surf Expo, I had come across an 'HP Keel'

fish that really interested me. Gary saw a comment I posted

about that board on the erBB and had apparently been throwing

around the idea for something similar (a keel fish meant for steeper,

better waves...a bit more pulled in and with a touch more rocker).

He asked if I was interested in him shaping one for me, making

it very difficult to say no by his generous offer. This board is what

came of that offer. He came up the color idea from some boards

he saw somewhere and I told him to just do what he wanted with

it. Needless to say, I'm rediculously stoked on how it came out and

can't wait to get it in the water at the first chance. To top it off,

Gary insisted that I use the board with the beautiful Marlin Bacon

Fins101 bamboo keels pictured here. I look forward to seeing

what all the fuss is about these fins as well! This one came out at

6'2" x 20.5" x 2 5/8" with full volume through the middle and pretty

foiled out rails, tail, and nose. Shaped, glassed, painted, and polished

by Mr. Brownfish.

Thanks again Gary!
