Widow Modifications
This was much needed...
The Widow and the Mackie
Australian Blood
The new/larger side bites
Grinded down to the fin marks.
Here is a shot of the older fins standing up against the new ones...I had to swap out the olders smaller fins for the larger ones with more surface area. I has having big troubles with the board sliding out on the bottom turns...hopefully these new ones will give the board the little extra hold it needs.
Again you can see the old fin laying up on the new ones.
The new fins were made using the original side bite template that Andrew Kidman took off of his own board "The Crush". They were sent to me via snail mail about a year ago. With the perspective surf on the way I thought this might be a nice opportunity to get this board back in the water. I'll sink her into some turns over the next few days and report back... Stay tuned

Sue and Blue
"A boy named Sue". A 6'2 Diamond tail widow maker I shaped and painted this board while listening to "Live from San Quentin" album over and over and over.... the board was named "Sue" for obvious reasons. This was shaped and painted during a session with Takashi and Junko today for a piece they are working on for Blue Magazine. Stay posted for more progress on the board. I will be documenting the whole process.
Takashi and Junko being coy in the background. Checking the racks out. "We are the people behind the lens not in front of the lens" they say...Ha! Got ya!
Kess respect. Always and forever. With me on every wave.
Big thanks to Takashi and Junko and Blue for the interest in my work.
Peace. Love. Respect.

A head nod...
Fine lines drawn in by Mr. Mick Mackie. Lines proply erased by the churning wash that trails. Only a few moments immortalized. Mick is the regular footed chap on the black railed blade surfing the rights. Master craftsman, creative genius and a brilliant surfer. "He's a legend" as Ank would say. If anyone is a legend in his eyes they are a legend in mine. A head nod to a fellow craftsman in a similar pursuit. Respect.
