On their recent trip to Cali, Bubbie and Dutchie convinced the swift mover himself Richard Kenvin to come back the big apple. Dutchie and I got to surf with homeboy in what turned out to be a rad session. RK brought "Casper" which is a 5'1" Hydrodynamica test pilot modeled after a Bob Simmons Spoon. Watching what RK was doing with this board was mind boggling. We did a bit of board shuffling in the water and RK and Dutchie ended up surfing the peanut butter 5'5" Twin Keel that I shaped a while ago and I was pleased that they had nothing but great things to say about it. The 7'6" quad "Fish Simmons" that Josh Hall shaped for us ended up getting a couple battle wounds but other than that the session we had was the best I've had in a while.
Tons O' Fun

Sick Joey - She looks pretty new. Nothin' like a maiden voyage in the cold brown frown!
ReplyDeleteI think RK surfed it plent before in Calim but as far as NY goes it was the first time being dipped in the NY line up.

I'm going to make one in the next couple months along with an alaia, a paipo, and a flex spoon velo style. When I'm done with my Simmons replica you can borrow it for as long as you want.
