Mini Fleet

Knuckle Head "C" aka Chris Caiazzo aka "the boy wonder" aka "I most likely got what you need" was cooling and flexing at the shaping bay. In between selecting tunes for the speakers and setting things straight, he lent a hand in photographing this mini fleet of Chopped Squares.

Not so cuban linx..

My buddies Johnny Knapp (White), Juan Jose Heredia (Pink) shreaded the Brooklyn team to victory at the 5 boro surf contest this weekend. Juan was riding his trusty little Quevz

Juan as seen above, applying for dual citizenship of Brooklyn and Queens. Those of you who know me know I grew up living between Brooklyn and Queens. The 5 Boro NYC contest puts a bi-boro fellow like myself in a difficult position. With one foot rooted in BK and the other in QB its hard for me to figure out what team to go for in a battle of the boroughs contest, especially when friends are surfing on both teams, head to head, riding my boards. Ha! Even though Juan "Quevz" Heredia and Johnny Knapp took it for Brooklyn and Queens did lose, Chris Caiazzo was shredding hard on the Duster Bouglass. In the end all the matters is "Reppin ya boro!" If theres a bar of wax sold in the park, I want in!

Check out the article in ESPN: 5 Boro Surf Challenge (PS: They spelled Juans name wrong)

Duster Bouglass

The "Duster Bouglass" is the new stick via Clams for the shredding capabilities of none other than "Knuckle Head" Caiazzo. Ladies watch yourselves in the line up!

Blanks are slowly disappearing and there has been an order placed for a ton more. Boards are currently getting candied and polished under the watchful eyes and hands of Ed Fawess, Mike Becker and Mark Petrocelli. Finished products will be ready for the visual stimulus sooon.... until then enjoy a slightly different visual stimulus.

.quevz and frok.

This new Quevz model shaped for my stylish paizan Giuseppe "Frok" Giammona!

Quevz himself has been riding the board and we've been fine tuning it for maximum shredability. He just got back from Mainland Mex with "The Mini Guinea" himself, Chris "Knuckle Head" Caiazzo where they tested the board in the unfriendly black holes for Puerto Escondido. A new harder rail is being applied and the board is ready for the public and the first advocate of the Quevz way is Frok! Thanks dude! Email some photos of you shredding it!

This board is going to be the first generation quevz model that will be outfitted with 5 fin boxes and will have and option for quad.....the experiment continues..

stay tuned!

Almost forgot to mention that this was an old Clark foam blank!!

"i'll seek out the things that must have been magic to your little girl mind..."

The magic little Quevz model has been working quite well and all parties are please. Juan has been busting on it and giving good feedback. He won the Rockstock contest taking first place in the masters division and has been drumming up inquiries from curious sliders looking to shred like Quevz. Its the surfer not the board....or is it?

Caiazzo, Juan, Tony Farmer, Shawn Roche and I all surfed together the other day in onshore unfriendly conditions but managed to score unexpected pumping and dumping shorey in the [].

Knuckle Head "C" was busting as well. "He shred so hard he bust his stick"...Literally...Caiazzo came off a huge chunky heavy floater and smashed the first 3 inches off his 5'4" The board is now a snub nose 5'1.
