The Friendly Salmon

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Ok we have been getting so many people coming in saying i want a dumpster diver, i want a lost rocket, i want to ride what Dane reynolds rides. And to tell you the truth i was getting curious as to how those boards were going so i have answered back with the friendly salmon the thing looks so sick. the first one was hand shaped glassed and sanded all by myself. Come friday afternoon when i had the little 5′6 piece of foam ready to ride i could not contain myself. i haven’t been that excited over a board since i was a little kid  and i get excited over every board i make myself which lately has been weekly. the friendly salmon resembles the dumpster diver but i have put my own twist on it, i have pulled the tail in keeping it sensitive  but also keeping the thickness there, plus our own outline and rocker it does look unique. the friendly salmon rides really fast and loose and turns really tight in the pocket. its a ball in the small stuff huey has been dishing up all weekend. there is plenty of thicknes under the chest and under your feet on this board so when ordering dont be affraid to go 1/8 thicker.

With the first one i have played around with the fin setup so i could ride as a quad and thruster and i found i could make it drivier with the quad setup which i really enjoyed, but the thruster i found was really fun in the pocket and great when i wanted to kick the tail and get more critical.

i recommend 4-6 inches shorter than your standard board 1 inch wider and 1/8 thicker . we are making this model available in quad and thruster.

Here are some shots of my new Friendly Salmon, sorry its already been waxed up and surfed i couldn’t wait .

B2 2010

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

here is my brand spanking new stick its the B2 2010, ive been playing around with this model the last few months as its my fav all round board, and this one is the one. i have tweaked the entry rocker a tad and it is now slightly lower than the original. i have also added a little bit more thickness to the rails up towards the nose to hold higher through carving turns. All this combined with a new tail template and we have the new B2 2010. Just to make this new stick cooler i got Lime to do a rad artwork on it!

Tell me your thoughts.
