GRANDE BURRITO DOS

2012-01-21T08:01:00.000-08:00

Warmjets new 7'9'' Grande Burrito

This is the Velo template pulled out to 7'9''.

3'' thick then very foiled out .

Im MY, opinion Greg's boards have alot more to do with Bob Simmons basic ideas than what most people realize , kinda a missing piece of the Simmons / Malibu puzzle.

7'9'' n. 19'' w. 23'' t. 18'' are the dims after glassing.

My old amigo Alan Casagrande shot this , the backside of Countyline. The board was a Liddle 7'11'' Asymetrical tail and was about 2 '' thick.

Back then I remember cracking it am and running back home to help with my kids .

Ya gotta love the way a hull cuts the water. I would like to know when I swallowed another human seems like I am twice the size............ um might be the Tecate's.

Inside was kinda sketch, the inside rocks from the rivermouth were pretty big .

2011-09-22T13:01:00.000-07:00

If your in Santa Barbara on a weekend you have to stop by the 2 Museum's that James O Mahoney has put together, this little collection of photos is Jim's Grandparents, both early pioneers in aviation.

The cowboy and indian part is too much.

One of only 2 chumash bows know to have survived.

1954 RV breakfast menu , with Leo Carillo's personel gun, Leo was a Rancho Vistadore.

SB history.

Jim's Dad was Jock Mahoney the actor/stuntman and was the first Tarzan.

I think his Grandparents had taken him on safari and around the world 2 or 3 times by the time Jim was a teenager.

Glady was areal barnstomer in her day .

Grandpa Odonnell, nice logo!

This is the new museum Jim put together , right next door is the Surfing museum but thats a another story. Both museums are right behind the Beachouse surfshop on Helana st. in the old Channel Islands shop.

Shapes and Hulls

2011-09-16T05:49:00.001-07:00

Found this gem on Swaylocks, A new Tim Bowler flextail! , I looked close at the foil on that fin and it's just like the one on the flextail Tim made me 36 yrs ago in the last post.

Tim was always his best test rider, one of the most talented surfers I ever got to shared the water with and a great craftsman.

With influence from Liddle, Greenough, Yater, Bradbury and more he always had his own shaping style, very cool to see some of his new work and really weird for it to pop up after that last post.

Dos Flextails

2011-09-11T06:44:00.000-07:00

Left is my 1975 Shapes and Hulls, shaped by Tim Bowler and glassed by Tony Masiel. On the right is Tony's 8'0''

Same concept, a variable tail rocker that when working and tuned just right gives the board some extra puch out of a turn or cutback.

To much flex and the board starts to feel wishie washie, to stiff and the low rocker makes the board to stiff. They are kinda a pain in the ass , the corners are always stress cracking and need upkeep. I sold mine in 1977 and never saw it again till the late John Bauwers found it at a Hope Ranch garage sale and bought it and sold it back to me. It has the same wax job I gave it back in 1977 it had never been ridin just put up in a rafter and sat for 30 plus years, I have 4 of Bowlers old boards and they all have had a strange way of finding there way back to me

8'0'' Tony Masiel Flextail

2011-09-10T08:47:00.000-07:00

A buddy found this gem in the ventura surf shop, Tony Masiel's personal 8'0'' flextail.

Tony is a true underground hullohaulic and has made more flextail boards than most. He glassed for Liddle in the summer when Greg got to busy to do everything, we surfed alot together over the years .

Tony is a long time fireman/ paramedic and makes a few boards for his son's and a couple of friends, A really good surfer and shaper. Paul brought this buy for a restore job .

One of GG.s old rides

Matt Moore, aka ''Webster'' was at a garage sale 2 doors down from his house in Carp yesterday morning and there was a 1980's board he made , and while he's chekin it out the guy who lives 3 doors down from him comes up and says I have one of your boards in my garage , so Matt says how long and the guys says it's a 8'0'' Gun! so Matt says lets go check it , This is the board the guy just gives it to him, too much! the thing is cherry and was glassed by Tim Bowler at Shapes and Hulls, made around 1976 it's been sitting 3 doors down for 35 years.

Nice sunset with the pig just about done.

Pig Roast Box , this thing really works good!

Graham and I pulled the guest of honor out at sunset, and a big old Pork feast was on. Good to see so many old friends from a place that used to be a lot smaller and more down home like everywhere else in California, thanks to Los Padres Outfitters and the Brown Bros. for the great Ho Down.

I was paddling out to the pack and had to snag this one.

Paddling out with my daughter Erin, nice to have here back in town for awhile, she is getting her teaching degree at CSUN this fall.

Buddy Bill Kaiser gave a nice few well chosen words and we sent Pat back to the Sea, a nice NW wind caught Pat's ashes and I mixed in one of his favorite brews. Pat will be there all the time now, and that's pretty cool. Back to the campsites for a few drinks some good BQ by Nui Nui. All in all a nice send off to a loyal friend a good brother and a great uncle, Via con Dios Pat.

6'4'' Reef Smoothie , this board is a lot more forgiving in beachbreaks and reefs with shorter , peak type surf.

With the sidebites also helps the board turn from the back a bit more .

Same S- Deck and hull bottom as most Liddles.

7'1'' asymmetrical , setup for a goofyfoot , this board is like one of Gregs old boards I have here.

The right side with more curve helps a goofy get the board over on rail alot better , I have had them set up both ways and always liked them, waves are not symetrical.

It's hard to see but th template is different on both sides, both GL 's

Bottom. this one is for Johnny who has been making those tubiculer fins with the grooves in them, Matt Miller came by yesterday and said the fin Johnny made him works great. Im gonna try one .

Springtime

2011-04-02T06:42:00.001-07:00

Springtime, the roundup's are comin up, Soto and C. Malloy get ready to cut the calfs out.

Andi ( Mr. Miller's better half ) was raised on a big cattle ranch in Australia and a former roper champ. First time I met Andi we went on a ride , a first date with Matt and when we were done Matt asked me what I thought , I said you should drive to Vegas right now, they been together ever since.

Graham Goodfield from Los Padres Outfitters and Chris Malloy setting up for a head and heal.

2 surfin cowboys Pete and Matt. Pete also a great polo player and runs Vinos Vaqueros which does wine rides up in Santa Ynez valley Matt doing what he does best , pinchin tecates from MY cooler. These shots are from a few years back just a small roundup at Rancho Grande. This was a dry year , gonna be nice and green this year with all the rain .

Sacred Craft Santa Cruz

2011-03-21T18:03:00.001-07:00

Sacred Craft pics , this Andreini balsa gun was a show favorite.

I like Gene Coppers new speed shape, thin rails and a hull into a chine concave tail , old but new.

Nice.

The man , Doug Haut , Craftsman, Stylemaster and all around good guy, the tribute to Doug came out really nice , Santa Cruz, Rich Novack and Wingnut did a nice job putting this together.

Brian , rappin down about the Gee Bee model.

Marc's gun , the burl wood nose block and fin were so sweet.

The gun up top and Rich Novack's Hotcurl on the bottom, Marc milled and glued up the hotcurl from a old redwood water tank and Jeff Canham did the letters , Rich's name in hawaiian. This one was just varnished, no glass.

Andreini with a bonzer a guy brought by that he shaped in 75 or 76 . I remembered working on this board on the bottom before it was glossed I india inked Campbell brothers bonzer design on the bottom and I mispelled DESIGN, Marc's brother Pete said hey KP watch out what you take credit for ! funny .

Josh's, Anderson slide and glide was a close 2nd for best in show.

Fun show and a nice job by the Santa Cruz guys .

8'0'' Liddle 80's copy

2011-03-16T07:09:00.000-07:00

Paul ordered a kinda copy of an old 8'0'' Liddle he found used from around the 80's

I made a template off the old one and sent it to Greg , but told him to foil it like most of the new boards.

Here is the original .

This boards came out so nice , looks like the boards from 1968 World contest. I laid it next to my PHD 68 PR and the curves are the same.

Mild rolled V and nice even rocker, that nice curve in the back hip works so good backside, fun project.

3RD TIMES A CHARM?

2011-03-15T05:50:00.000-07:00

3rd time in for a rebuild on the Fatbastard, it was the 1rst Velo template Greg did for Hadley at 6'0'' .

n. 19 w. 22.50 t. 19

Patched and Bondo flush, also Steve put in a set of LocBox so he could try it as a twin keel. The board really changed as a twin it sat lower in the water and rolled up on rail so different than as a singlefin. It was a good experiment, now Im lookin for some LocBox Bonzer fins to try as siderunners.

A funny sidenote Greg and Hadley and myself were trading info and emails when this board was just a thought, then Steve called one day and says Im ready to order it, so I call Greg and say go ahead , Greg just says , it's DONE and on the way Im sick of talkin about that thing I just went out and made it. I call Steve and tell him it's done already be here in 4 days , WHAT? we got a good chuckel from that .

Gonna see if somebody has some sidebites for LocBox that might work up at Sacred Craft.
