Peter Stanley's "Cosmic Spear"






























This is a 7-2 chambered balsa quad that I finished last year for New York surfer, Peter Stanley.
The bottom has a subtle single-into-double concave. Finished weight: 14lbs
It has a double6/6 glass job by Moonlight Glassing (who else???).
The quad fin set and the inlaid bolt are of lacewood and African Mahogany.
Peter ordered this board to ride. I'll be darned if it didn't have filthy wax smeared all over the deck, obscuring the inlayed bolt I worked so hard on the last time I saw it. You go Peter!
Peter reported that the board is a perfect match for the New York Barrels that showed up last winter. Peter named her "The Cosmic Spear".

Secret Spot Italy


can you say.............4-3?

Francesco Di Tommaso, Bari Italy


My Italian brother Francesco, sliding under a lip. Yes, Italy has waves.

6'-3" agave fish - 9'0" big wave longboard


The 9-0 longboard resides with it's new owner, Francesco Di Tommaso in Bari Italy
The agave fish has the weight of a comparable p.u. foam board, even though it has a sturdy
Moonlight Glassing job of dbl 6oz both sides. She is as yet unridden........looking for a worthy home.
