My New Ride

9'0'' Special K 



Marc and I have been talkin about this board ever since we saw the Innermost Limits of Pure Fun many years ago.



It is designed like the 2 boards Ted Spencer and Chris Brock take camping out by some air force base. I think the original boards were around 8'' to 8'4''and may have been shaped by Bob McTavish under the Nature surfboard label, not sure on that.



Marc shaped me a 8'2'' around 1974 that was based off this , great board. And later the first Vaquero we did was kinda based off these boards .



Marc really worked on getting the curves right on the outline, not easy with a squaretail.



Marc has an copy of this one and has been riding it up north for a couple of weeks in everthing and says it's a keeper.



Stringerless Ice 9 blank , n.17'' w. 23'' t. 14'' th 3''1/2 , can't wait to get this wet .

Gasonator Tricone

I built my first Tricone for my self for my birthday. 5 gal. gas can for the body.



3 Paul Beard spun cones that he made for me , thanks to Beard Resophonic Guitars.



The cover for the cones I made out of my sons 1950 ford shoebox hotrod moon hupcap , my it RIP. 



I used to do these with Steve Krajewski , aka Estaban Bojorquez. After Estaban moved to Santa Fe NM , I just built this by myself.



Im not much of a player , but I have fun doing these.
