This board just makes me want to surf… no matter what the waves are like. If it's small and weak this board just flies. If it's over head and pumping it draws such a unique line. It makes me approach waves differently and explore new lines.

From a distance, the outline pays homage to the old school fish (skio frye, steve lis) but if you pull out a tape measure you will find some subtle changes. I’ve narrowed up the swallow tip to tip to give the board i little bit more maneuverability. I also narrowed the nose a touch to give more of a speedy outline. The rocker is fairly relaxed. Low entry rocker through the front end with very little rocker out the tail. This board gets up and goes and it goes fast.

The “board eat board” bottom is my favorite part of this board. I feel like it really brings this model to life. It works so well with the keel fin set up using the 2 panels on each side. The single deep concave running down the middle makes this board super speedy out of the gates.

I’m really excited about sharing the new bottom contours I’ve been working on.  I call it “BOARD EAT BOARD.” The original concept started years ago when i rode one of George Greenough’s edge boards. It opened my mind to a whole new dimension. I made quite a few boards with different edge designs until i finally changed my approach to this new bottom. The general idea is that you have 2 boards working in your favor. The inside outline creates the perfect opportunity to really get a flat bottom concave that runs all the way off the tail. The 2 two side panels that run down each rail give me the opportunity to change the panels from concave to flat to vee while still maintaining a deep single concave down the middle.

This board is available in epoxy or epoly using an eco epoxy resin.

Just evolving the Go Fish to something new. The Go Fish goes fast and feels skatey and loose and I love it, and riding it for a couple years made me want to feel more high performance - more carves, tighter turns. So the Seaside is about refining… less area in the tail, narrowing the tips of the swallow, creating more curve and narrowing the nose. All elements for ripping while the Go Fish stays cruisey and fun.

Rob Machado designed this shape while thinking of small, and weak waves; “The kind of waves I ride a lot here in San Diego, or an average day in Japan.” he says. I gave the Moonbeam a nice and wide nose, like The Midas for skatiness in small waves but raised the nose rocker above what you’d expect in a small wave design, creating an opportunity to cut sharp angles on the Moonbeam without hanging up the nose. Fans of performance surfing will appreciate the high tail rocker as well, creating a feeling under foot almost as responsive in regards to quick direction changes as The Midas is. When deciding between this shape and The Midas, most surfers should consider that the Moonbeam will generate forward speed more easily and feel most at home in smaller waves where it creates its own speed easily. The Midas, however, will feel most natural in rounder waves where it easily controls the speed that powerful waves provide. The Moonbeam is meant to go fast and have fun!

The most famous King Midas is popularly remembered in Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold. This came to be called the golden touch, or the Midas touch.  

I’m not making any promises about turning anything into gold, but this board will definitely put a smile on your face. The outline of the MIDAS came from a few different influences.

The tail on this outline was inspired by some 80’s twin fins. I put the wing right behind the trailing edge of the side fin to create a breaking point and to be able to pull the tips of the swallow closer together for maneuverability. By adding the wing, it creates some width in front of the fins which i feel is super important in generating speed.  

The nose outline is a touch wider than your everyday shortboard but not wide enough to give it an eggy feel. With a wider nose dimension and a wider tail dimension, the middle of the board has less curve in the outline, which helps generate speed.

The CREEPER is the name of my van. It's old. Doesn't like freeways... And doesn't like being far from the beach. I made this board to have a very clean outline to the eye. The nose and the tail almost have the same template. The rocker is low and smooth and it flows through the entire board. I imagined this board to be ridden in better waves where you can draw some nice lines... I ride mine at 5'6.

I’ve really been wanting to play around with some longer fishy kind of boards for a while now… Ever since I spent some time with skip frye and he showed me some of his fishes in the 7 foot range It’s been on my mind.  I first stretched out the GO FISH and made a 7 footer.  It worked great and really got my mind spinning.  Then I made a 7’0 seaside and it became one of my favorite boards in my quiver.  I rode it in everything.  Super small days, bigger days and everything in between.  It’s become a board that I will take with me every where I go.

Sunday mornings for me start later than most mornings.

It’s really a family day.... We wake up, take it slow.... Might be a surf involved before breakfast with my daughter or my son, but we’re never in a hurry to get there. We usually go to the farmer’s market before noon and stock up on produce.

In the afternoon I’ll ride my bicycle down to Cardiff reef and maybe paddle out the 7-foot Sunday for a cruise. Then before sunset I’ll ride the 5’6 at Seaside if its good.

My favorite thing about the Sunday is how it occupies both sides of the spectrum. I ride both the 5’6 and the 7’0. That covers a lot of territory.

The 5’6 is about six liters more volume than I’d normally ride in a shortboard. And that’s the most important thing - size up your Sunday. Don’t be shy. Ride more volume and relax.

If you want to draw out turns and flow, ride it as a single fin. You can set it up as a twin fin if you want to liven it up. It’s a win both ways. Sunday is always fun.

I like to think of the guy at VG’s Donuts that glazes the donuts. Pretty important dude. Kinda makes or breaks a donut. He’s the GLAZER. 

And then you have my number one test pilot – TODD GLASER. He’s been riding this board for close to a decade. We’ve been modifying and tweaking it for years. A little bit of width here… a touch of thickness there… back and forth until we finally agreed that it was ready. 

Very round and sleek curves. Gentle rockers. Easy to ride for all levels and easy to ride in all types of waves.

The Drifter was a board that I designed for bigger surf.  I specifically made it to surf a few different waves in Indo ... one being a bombie that I needed the length and paddle power to get into bigger open ocean swells, and the other being a big walled very carvable wave.  I pushed the wide point forward to give it even more foam under your chest. The tail is a pulled in pin tail that is very responsive on big open walls.

I take one with me when I'm going on a trip that I might see some bigger surf and I've come to find that it handles very well paddling into some hollow beach breaks letting me in early and holding the line through the tube really well.

The POPS was named after my dad.  I found one of his old boards that was shaped by a guy named Nipper Williams down in Australia probably back in the 60's.  I used his original board to inspire this design. This board has a very low rocker profile and is designed to be ridden in small to medium size waves.  It can be ridden as a single fin or with 2 side bits for a little extra bite.
