Aipa Inspired!

I've always been intrigued by some of the shapes that Ben Aipa was putting out back in the seventies and today for that matter , particularly the "stingers" with the super high wings and big swallows! So I finally got one started for a good friend of mine, and im pretty stoked on how its turned out and I have to admit I cant wait to try this mind machine. Thanks for the inspiration Ben!

Buttons dig's em'!

Work in Progress!

Here is a new custom for (Erik D.). I finally finished this fancy little double stringer this afternoon, its got a racy outline with some heavy vee in the tail which if my calculations are correct should add up to one great big smile in the water! Stay tuned for the post glass shots!

Got Skil?

Old and Rusty, and I love it!

Soul Session

We had a pretty fun session the otherday, and Theostyle got some pretty classic shots that im sure will put a smile on your face! Particularly the sequence of me pig-doggin it and just laughing my ass off. I forgot how much fun you can have in 1 foot surf!

Theo Hetherington and Kyle Lighter

Theo Hetherington and Kyle Lightner are two crazy cats who both happen to be masters at there crafts!

Another Oceanic MasterMural!

The Animal!

Kyle in my opinion is one of the best, if not the best, photograper around today. He has a bitchin point of view that carries over into his unreal photography that really speaks for itself! On top of that he is the brainchild of the grass is greener project http://www.grassisgreenerproject.blogspot.com/, which essentially a movement of all things pure and trying to get back to simpler 70s style living!

Banzai Washout! haha

Maui Gems!
