minis!

making some new mini skateboard decks...

SURFYsurfy surf shop opens this saturday at 6pm in Leaucadia..yay!

finished!

My finished Paipo! It's really fun to ride...So much better then a 'pop-out' body board!

After riding some of manny's stubbie boards, I have been having a reaccuring dream of riding an endless wave. Some how, in my dream, this wave makes perfect, logical sense- a constant, continum with no beginning or end. I have taken this idea and began to create some new designs...in hopes of creating the same feeling in my dream. I will post some of these visual ideas soon...but for now, here is a new painting in the works:)

...paipo in progress

Shaping the fin and starting to do some wood-burning designs...

"Essence" oil and relief carving

fresh from the studio....

The Paipo "Sunfish"...

This is my first Paipo blank...I call it the "SunFish" because its shape is inspired by the majestic Sunfish. I'm going to finish this board out with a wooden handle and deck engraved design..
