Today was a really amazing day. Ventured out to the Nature Shapes showroom where I just had my boards glassed by legendary Long Island surfer and craftsman Ed Fawess. Needless to say the work was tight! After that I headed out to Mastic Beach and met up with Mastic's most Mastastic resident, Lentini, the one and only Deebo (Homeboy is Lost On A Sandbar) and big boy frontiersman Tom who is a decorated fisherman and all around jack of all trades. We waded out at this beautiful little spot and just caught fish after fish for about 2 hours. We ended up with 20 or so blue fish that we later brought back to the Lentini household where we open fire cooked the fish and had frontiersman Tom showed us the ins and outs of filleting a fish and skinning it. I can equate today to a chest high glassy day of surfing. Totally epic. 

Today wouldn't be possible without the help and guidance of Deebo and Tom. Much appreciated!

Back on the wheel...






After a while of not glassing boards I find myself back behind the squeegee pushing resin around on this collaborative project between me and JonBless.  Hollow wooden casper lofted by Jonbless, foiled and refined by J.Clams. Keeping the fins true to Simmons design, double foil redwood fins crafted and refined by JonBless. I'm a sucker for a good collaboration.

Behold the bold Soldier


Check out PhotoRoche blog for more.

My homeboy/local photog/all around rad dude, Shawn Roche took some photos of his good buddy/wildman/equally all around radical, Soren. Soren is from Barcelona and was in town visiting. While Soren was in town Shawn set a day with him for a photo shoot. Soren is sporting his custom Pink wetsuit and a Double Wing Quad Fish I shaped for Shawn a while back. As usual when Shawn gets behind the lens he manages to capture magic. Click the link just under the photo to see the rest of the shoot and bookmark PhotoRoche blog because its rad.

Enjoy your day!

Jordy!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past week. I just got back into the country form a little get away. Tropical weather and amazing food.....However, No Waves! Which was fine actually because I got to do tons of other cool stuff like scuba dive and explore sunken WWII battleships! I can't say the would've happened if there were waves. Anyway.........I love it when your traditional pro surfer starts to experiment with new things such as adding 3 more fins to his typical setup. I guess Kelly's new love for surf design is rubbing off on the rest of the pack. This is Jordy blasting it! Obviously 6 fins works.......when your that good anything works.  JORDY! MAKIN' IT HAPPEN!

5'6 for Quevz





I shaped this little number for my buddy Juan Jose. You might find him white faced shredding on the western shores of the thorough borrow. If you don't see him in the water look for him in the sky! Keep your eyes peeled for the ghost!
