Mike Dawson ProBox Quad











My new (to me) 7'-2"x21.75x3" thick with single to double concave and quad ProBox fins. Glassing is 2x 6oz deck and 1x 6oz bottom. A fun board for sure!

The Shores going off again
















This morning was offshore, head high sets typical with an occasional 2' overhead set and a rare DOH wave to clean things up.
Has this been a great winter or what? Seems like every week so far this year we've had head high or bigger swells on a weekly basis with good conditions a majority of the time. It was pretty packed early this morning with such a narrow margin for taking off on the only right breaking at it's typical spot. A lot of hacking and shouting and people getting barrelled seemingly on every wave. If you missed it this morning then you missed out, that's if you were willing to compete against the likes of Bob Mitsven, Frenchie Jeff, Tom (freaking) Ortner, Louis F, B.A. and others....

Cheers!

My new custom LOG by Donnie Laughlin











Dimensions are 9'-9", 24", 3.25" with a 19.5" nose and 16" tail with a long 42" concave. Glassed in FU "Salty" 10.25" red fin that i cut the base off down to 10" to reduce the massive base width. Glassed with a double 8oz deck and single 8oz bottom at Alan Beel glass shop. Absolutely an all around longboard that still trims awesome while being super stable on the nose on steep faces and turns pretty good. Donnie Laughlin is a pleasure to work with when ordering custom boards and has a wealth of knowledge about surfing and shaping.
