TRAVELING

Just got back to Santa Barbara from the east coast, please excuse the lag on the blog front... Hit New York and Boston on a spring break loop with my oldest son... Checked out colleges, how did that come up so quick I ask?.. Anyway, putting the last of the puzzle together for the Tokyo joint that will open in a few weeks, looking sick...

TOKYO CALLING

Hope to see you all if you are in Tokyo... Party on, Garth...

FINISHING TOUCHES

Kicking it hard to get ready for the opening of my S/Double surfboard showroom in Tokyo next month... I will keep you tuned as the date approaches...

SINGLE

A fresh "swingin' single" from the glasshop with a new fin template I did just for this series... Hand foiled by Chuck Ames here in the Santa Barbara area... Those are a couple of "fish and chip" models hanging in the back...

YOU TALKIN' TO ME?

KING

The Godfather of surfing...

TOKYO SLEDS

Almost done with the sticks for the new S/Double boardshop I am opening next month in Tokyo... Every board 100% handshaped by me in the Santa Barbara studio... I figure by the amount of time each one takes I am clearing about 10 cents an hour, but could not be happier... We don't need no stinking computers... I will tune you in more on the opening as it gets closer to the date...

GREY SCALE

Four quad nuggets in the scale of grey ready for the trip to the glassshop... Just sprayed the rails and the paper is still on both sides...

SWINGIN' SINGLES

Stoked with these single fin neo-seventies things I have been shaping lately... Wide point forward, pulled tails, solid old stussy style beaks up front and clean modern bottoms... These are just roughed blanks in the photos, but they finished up really nice... Think Owl Chapman or Terry Fitz with knees bowed and arms in just the right relaxed position...

DROP IN

Commitment factor very high...

WEDGE

These puppies are just waiting for a big south swell at the wedge this year...

SHARP

DROOLING

I am seriously drooling on this thing...
