Things to do on a SUP

Testing out the new 10'4" x 30" SUP. Pretty fun stuff little paddling and little yoga, not a bad way to spend the heat wave.

Where do GoPro sticks come from?

The Oak sticks available are made the hardest way we could think of. We actually cut down the tree and took it to our mill.

 Then the log was milled to specs and the lumber was set aside to dry.

After a ridiculous amount of carving and planing by hand we turn the square lumber into amazing unique GoPro sticks that hold you camera secure and look great.

All of that work so you can go out and get shots like this to show off to friends!

Pow pow

Highs in the mid 90's today but plenty of fresh pow in the shop!

 New batch of  gopro sticks and hand planes. As promised they will be for sale soon.

Finally to add to the Winter theme it was like Christmas today when the black smith stopped by the farm and gave me a handful of files. New tools are always appreciated.

More sun makes for less posts

Couldn't decide on a tail for a new shape so guess we will have to wait an see what happens. In the mean time finished up a new SUP and it has been getting a lot of use. More info on the SUP coming soon.

Summer

Summer is here boards are being made. Get some.

Stand Up

Started up a 10'4" which is maxing out the shop working area. Pretty happy with it so far got a little more clean up to do but the shape is roughed out.

Surf More

Testing products

Finished up the first gopro stick prototype and will be making more soon. Worked out great when shooting some snowboarding over the past weekend and was sturdy enough to survive some crashes. Hopefully no more snow laden surf shots any more!

Another Spring is coming

Start of a new Gopro stick to hopefully use to get some new footage. Should be having these for sale soon all made from local wood and ready to get shots when you need a little extra arm length.

Fun looking little wedge wave that was breaking at low tide. Unfortunately I was sick this weekend so go stuck with photo duty.

Clean

As Spring is approaching I am working on the new shop space so updates are coming slow. Here are some old pics that are getting cleaned out of the folders. Fun mellow days taken after I got out.

Blustery day

Scoped this wave for a while but didn't paddle out. The winds where hitting 50knts on the gusts. Maybe in the future it will be good.

Breaking out

 Winter has taken its toll and even as I write this it is still lashing out but Spring is around the corner. It is time to make some moves and step up Neto Shapes just a bit. This season will have more boards, clothes, handboards, and some other fun things for you to drop your hard earned cash on. So if you are in the market to make surfing fun again save your pennies for a little longer then support Neto Shapes you will be glad you did.

Bring on Summer.
Have a drink to new waves, new adventures and don't be afraid to follow your dreams.

Surf stuff

Boards and waves what else do you need?

Tech

So my camera does not like shooting when it super windy and single digits. Going to have to post a few pictures from last month until I can get some new ones.

Hot coating the fish and frigid waves.

Stoked and Thank You

Well Winter is in full force and for some reason it makes me want to shape even more. This is a pic I took down in St. Kitts many years ago and really looks way more appealing than the -40 windchill outside today.

Those of you who know me know my affinity for hand tools so I was excited to pick up some new additions recently. A great pull saw, new mini plane, spoke shave and a really unique hand made rasp. I got so excited I had to sharpen all my other blades as shown above.
So this post puts me over 10,000 view which is pretty good for never really promoting anything. Want to thank my friends for trying out my shapes and being supportive even f that means stinking up the house with resin. Thank you and if I ever make lots of money free boards for all.

Rock Art

Getting artsy on a blown out day.

Five

First five fin all done. Small wave shredder for average East Coast days. Single concave with a fair amount of volume and round rails.

Not a board

Sequence of building a caliper to measure better.

Right Coast

This right was throwing some serious grinding moves the other day. Little long of a paddle to get to.
