Its new board time...

Two boards ready... Fish on its way...

6'  "Big Dude"  - This board is really designed for performance surfing in small 1-2ft waves, up to solid 4-6ft surf. We utilise the riders weight to their advantage by putting a little extra foam in just the right places while still maintaning performance at the core…




 5' 10" "Apex" - Specifically designed for the up and down conditions of California, this board is a staple for every surfers quiver. It is the definition of how to gain a lot of speed from a slow wave, and draw solid carves on a less than epic face. With a 5 fin setup, you have options allowing you to change the dynamic of the board and how it works for your style and preference of surfing. Small waves or Head high plus, this board handles it all!…  -Design by team rider Erik Baldwin…

Glass time...

Glassing has started on the boards.  Erik sent me a some great photos of the fish being glassed.  Dont get excited though, even though we are in the last stage of making the board, this stage takes the longest.  Probably be done in a week or so...

Ordering a custom Nirvana...

Last week I went into the Nirvana Surfboards Shop in Cardiff to order a couple boards.  One for myself, and one for each of my brother in-laws.  Erik, the shop manager, has way too much knowledge on all of the different shapes that are available.  He can help you get exactly what your looking for and determine what size you need in that shape.  We ended up ordered three boards.

6' "Roi Fish" - A Zenful blend of performance and flowing lines, this board has a welcoming and universal feel to it. Designed by our So Cal. Master shaper ROY SANCHEZ, it is a refined version of the ever so common “old skool fish”. With a split keel quad set up and a flat bottom, this board is like no other board you will ride. It lends itself to be surfed by all levels of ability. It seems to win the hearts of all surfers alike!…
