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.

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.

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.
