Custom orders in France completed, ready for glassing...

It has been a good trip back to France, pleasure to be making custom boards for old and new customers, and working with Fabrice at Chez Blend Glassing. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time for everyone but will return next year for a longer period! Good times surfing with friends and enjoying catching up with you all.. Merci et a l'année prochaine!!

6 Foot Stringerless Mini Noserider

The Stringerless Mini Noserider shape was inspired by a friend who would like to travel with their longboard but the size and weight always made it difficult. Having no stringer gives the board more flex. This board and fin are both handcrafted, the colours and the construction of the fin were influenced by the surroundings of my shaping bay in the forest.
