Dude and Steve came by to pickup 2 new ones , that one up front is a 6'8'' Death board, the other is a 5'10'' Burrito Deluxe , Velo with a bit more pulled in at the tail with side runners , thanks to Brian in Santa Cruz for the tips.

Crossroads

Burrito Deluxe with Hullapinos.

6'8'' Death 6'6'' SH/RW and 5'10'' BD

2 LIDDLES ON THE WAY

A 7'2'' and a 6'6'' on the way here, kirkripper@yahoo.com for info. Hand shaped, glassed, sanded and glossed by Greg Liddle on a small island in the pacific. 42 years of Displacement Hull refinement .

1968 to 1976 to 2010 BACK TO THE FUTURE

8'4'' Hot Generation PHD , This design is really working well, I've been riding these off and on for years , first Marc and I made a few in 76 when we worked at Yaters together, then I had Liddle make some and now Brian and I are doing um.

Its from one of my favorite era's 67 to 68 the boards went short , but you still had longboard style, the aussies got it right because Greenough was there. Back here we were hampered by bad rocker and plastic fins . Its fun to get to refine these old designs with the right foil, rocker and fins . Much like an early pig board you can turn off the back hip and step up to the trim spot. Some guys did some right back then, Skipper/GS, Yater, John Price surfboards Hawaii, Morey- Pope and a few more.

Marc with his 9'0'' and me with a Yater classic 8'0'' round pin, man we were a couple of surfhounds back then.

My 7'11'' Stringerless Andreini , nice bowl cut !

I think those 501's were a 28'' waist !! That board was so much fun . We could ride small Rincon and the other SB points when everybody was on smaller gunnier boards. Marc and I were laughing about these times yesterday 34 years later.

Proneman's New Toy

Roger's 9'6'' Vaquero Pintail, nice T-band stringer, silver logo to match his hair,'' Old Yeller '' #3

Bottom

Deck

I really like the tail curve in the pintails.

Vee in front of the fin , then back to flat. Proneman's on a trip , might have to test drive this baby.

LIDDLE FIN COLLECTION

Got a box from Greg today and he sent me his fin collection and I added a few of mine , some really weird stuff , plastic aussie fins , molded fins from the late 60's and 70's, Greenough Morey- Pope prototypes , hollow , footballs and a keelfin , all kinds of Brewer fins, very cool.

MIDLENGTH EVOLUTION

These are 8'0''s that Tony Masiel, Steve Krajewski and I started riding as we got older ('' and wiser'' ) with a few of the Hull Tribe.

Tony came up with the template, that one in front he shaped me when Liddle moved to Hawaii and he stopped making boards for a few years . I rode the crap out of it for years and it's still in service , Kopps just took it to Mexico to film, hence the 2# of new Bondo!

The second from left is Steve's last Liddle before Greg moved, the 3rd from left is a bit before that , this one, is one of my favorites . The last one is a Anderson, Bojorquez which is just an evolution on the 8'0'' midlength boards we all did together.

Tony is still refining this board , such a great underground hull shaper, still shaping and glassing all his boards himself . He like's side fins , Steve and I went back to one fin later on, but I like the 2 plus one because you can really use a twangy center fin, but have the side bites to hold.

2 6'4'' Liddles

These are off a old board I have in the collection and Brian Hilbers wanted a new one , thats how these came about. These are really fun and Ive had good feed back on this template. For sale and on the way here, kirkripper@yahoo.com
