Enjoy Leftover Resin for Christmas

In the spirit of Enjoy we have made some cool ornaments out of the leftover resin from the bottom of Kipp's resin cups. For those of you not familiar with the glassing process there is always a little resin leftover after you glass a surfboard (or handplane in our situation). Historically these leftovers have been seen as trash and were thrown away. But not anymore! We think these little beauties are just too cool to throw out. Now they can live a happy life on your Christmas Tree each year and avoid the smelly dump!

If you'd like one of these festive little resin wonders, stop by Surfy Surfy Surf Shop to pick one up. JP will be handing them out like candy to good little surfboard loving boys and girls. Hurry though kids, we dropped off a batch last night and they are already gone as they are free and will go fast! We'll drop off more today in time for the Surfy Surfy Jaz night so get one while you listen to the smooth sounds of Surfy Jaz.

Stay tuned for more fun things we are doing with our leftovers in 2011!

A few from Santa's Workshop

Will be up at  Wetsandsurfshop.com in the next few days. 

Jason Werbelow

My buddy Jason hurt his knee and surfing was aggravating it to the point that he now has to get surgery. 

To his surprise he found that bodysurfing didn't effect the knee as it was the twisting motion of the knee that was causing the issue. 

Jason dodged a serious bullet as it was looking like a few months minimum out the of the water. Now instead of his being land locked he has become one of my inspirations of how to have a blast while bodysurfing. He is getting really good and enjoying every moment.  

Thanks for sending in the shots Jason, it's been really rewarding to see you getting so good and having so much fun with your handplane and GoPro!

Keep it up!

We have been getting a lot of inquires about where to get your own. Feel free to contact us  if you want one of these little recycled foam and glass wonders. We're making them as fast as we can and have been so stoked to see them go to good barrel love'n owners! If you have one send us shots of you as well, please, as we love seeing the fun people are having. Enjoy.

The Green Tiger

Fresh tester board, the "Green Tiger". Smaller template, sharper rails, tons of concave and one sweet resin tent. Shaped by me and glassed by Kipp Denslow.

My buddy Rich Williams helped me test it out yesterday. He's been bodysurfing for years and on his first good wave I heard a scream. It's a pretty common reaction. It happens when you drop in, don't expect to go as fast as you do, and then get caught in the moment letting out a screech like a little kid. After the first one you train yourself to be quiet. Hearing that sound is my favorite part about people trying these. Enjoy.

The Iron Cross is already turning into Handplanes

Kipp doesn't waste any time. With the fresh foam from the Iron Cross, Kipp has been busy making some new handplanes. He has been getting inspired and going nuts with the resin tents. He's making me wait to post the final boards but here's a hint of what one is going to look like. He got the idea from a piece of  tie die that was laying around.  Enjoy.
