All arounder


New quad built for the everyday use.  Tail is a little wider to help get in the weaker waves early but included the tail bumps to make it narrower than a fish so it can still turn quick and hold then it gets steep.  Fast and fun thats how we like them.  Click for the big pics.

Marble Madness

















































Marble on the new mini quad.  Pigment didn't hold the colors I wanted but still came out looking good.  Once it is glassed you can really ge the feel of the board and this one is going to be a shred machine.  Hot coat and sanding and it will be done.

Evening at Trails

Trails Day from NetoShapes on Vimeo.

First time trying out the the GoPro wide angle cam.  Had it on my wrist for a fun evening sesh last week.  Waves where a little inconsistent some being good others flat but overall pretty fun South swell and with no one in the water it was a good time.  Going to take some practice to get some good clips but got to start somewhere.

Remix situation


Found this board at the beach.  6'9" overglassed, over stickered and over its usefull life.  Cut it up to make a new board and reuse the foam.  The foam sat for a while until one day an idea just seemed to present itself and the party stick was made... Click pic for the full board.


End result the 5'2" x 19" party stick.  Chined nose, twin fins, squash tail with some different bottom steps.  Kept the rails very boxy through the middle to help keep some volume.  Click pic for the full board.


The last two weeks I have been riding it every day and it is way more fun than I expected.  Very loose on backsides but still not to unstable.  Frontside you can feel the lack of rail length and small fins as it is hard to generate a lot of drive but makes up for it in super fast response.  Today was fun glassy shoulder high and it worked well.
