Chopped Square (White Out)









This is the newest model to come out of my shaping bay. I made this little gem for my buddy Juan after he and I were geeking out on the new Dane Reynolds "Neck Beard". I've already made another 2 of them but this one weighs in at 5'8 x 19 x 2.25" . If all goes well "The White Out" will work great for anything from knee high to 2 feet over head with a proclivity for doing rail turn cutbacks with tons of speed. It features a big single concave to a panel V out of the tail, Chopped Square tail, low rocker overall with a little flip in the nose and a modern box rail. We named it "The White Out" because after signing and drawing on the board Juan painted over every bit of pencil work with white paint. This will be getting glassed and finned in the next 2 weeks.

Stay posted and enjoy...

aurora ii









With the idea of peeling the winter skins off and the fact that summer is nipping at our heels I couldn't help myself but to assess my summer quiver. I began to revisit my notes in regards to the aurora and I came to the realization that I had to push the envelope and evolve the original prototype. With the Lord boards heavy on the mentals I took most of the design ideas from the Lord/Simmons theory. With the help of my buddy Simon (featured above) the aurora ii features a flatter bottom, flatter rocker in both the nose and tail, 2 extra channels and a wider tail, the aurora ii was born. I'll be testing this board over the next couple months so I'll have to report back with the progress.

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.
