Our Promise To You

My Environmental Promise: I use Forest Stewardship Council certified woods or woods salvaged from downed trees. All boards are glassed with epoxy resin which is cleaner for our environment and emits 50-75% less Volatile Organic Compounds than polyester resin. In my shop I have moderate ventilation and no need for a mask when glassing. Epoxy is lighter and stronger than polyester. My wood boards are nearly indestructible and should last a lifetime. Each board is quality crafted for strength, durability and concern for our environment.

My Satisfaction Promise: Ride your board for 30 days. If you don't like it, return it.

2018 Los Angeles International Auto Show


This past Summer, Volvo Cars (US) commissioned a short (6' 7")  board for this auto show. They wanted to stage it with a very unique pair of snow (powder) skis, Magnum Opus. The top surface is a very stunning wood veneer and Volvo wanted the board to match the ski wood color. Friend and fellow surfboard builder, Tom Allen/Tradition Surfboards, handled the tint job on my board.
