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.

Long Tip Keel. I shaped, painted and made the fins for this board. It was all done for a friend of mine by the name of Bisse. He's a wacky guy from Sweden with and extraordinary personality. I wanted to do something extra special for him so I gave it a little more then usual. I even made the call to do one black future fin box and one white one (the peg leg). I had a lot different feelings and emotions while shaping this board. I feel that this is one of the most honest boards I've ever done. By honest I mean I did exactly what I felt like doing. No holding back. From shape to brush stroke and it was all a surprise. Bisse didn't know what to expect and when he arrived in NY I just put it in his hands. I was relieved when the grin on his face stretched from ear to ear. It was an exciting day for the both of us.

LB and meaty...

This is my homeboy Juan Jose Heredia aka "quevz". Thats pronounced Ke'vez.  Apart from being one of the best people I know he's also an amazing artist and an insane surfer. This clip is just a taste but certainly doesn't do him any justice. He painted the inside of the new restaurant "Delicatessen" that opened up about 2 months ago on the corner of Lafayette and Prince. You can go check his artwork out in person and while your there grab something to eat the food is pretty good!
