Tool or toy

While it looks a lot like a sex toy and even has a name of Silky PocketBoy this little saw is amazing. Since most of my work is done by hand I have been looking for the best saw to cut out outlines. This Japanese pull saw is the answer. So sharp it is ridiculous how easy it cuts foam or stringers and the blade is the perfect flex to cut a tight curve but not flimsy that it will waver when trying to cut straight. Folds up nice and small into its super comfy handle so the blade stays sharp from lack of abuse. Every time I use it I am extremely happy and highly recommend getting one if you need to make quality cuts.

Video I shot on the GoPro stick of an average weekend. Yes an average weekend has no surf but don't have much control over that. Filmed and edited in one day.

Wave fish?



Paint job on a fish that has been hanging around. This board was in the move of shops and wasn't finished during it so unfortunately it has some cosmetic throughout. So decided to use it as a test piece for some painting. Turned out looking pretty good.

Tailfeather

Been kicking around the idea of a modular board for a long time. Finally bit the bullet and went for it. Who knows if it will be a waste of a blank and time or a start to something great. This one is going simple as I can with an option of two tails depending on your mood. Idea being you can vary the ride by different tails and different fin combos. If it work would like to add in a way to cut the board in half to travel with so you can avoid airline fees and have one board with a very wide range of options. Only one way to find out so cross your fingers I am on to something.
