There’s an eerie stillness here in Seal Beach. All you can hear the sound of the constant helicopter hoovering above and I’ve had KNX 1070 playing through my laptop all afternoon, describing how the event played out. No matter how many times I hear it, I still can’t believe it. I’m not going to even bother with the “why?” in this event right now…all I know is we’re blessed to live to see another day and I will take it for what it is. Thank you to all those that called in and checked on us. We’re fine.
Our prayers go out to the friends and families of those innocent people that were taken from us today. Peace…please.
It is sweet, but not a Banana. Transitional 50/50 rail to hard tail rail. Soft concave under a wider nose with double barrel concaves at the tail. Almost a rounded pintail that has been squared off with very soft corners. A while back we made one out of EPS/Epoxy that was a bit on the light side. This one’s polyurethane/polyester.
After months of collecting the wood and gluing the 23 pieces together, the shaping has begun. After roughing out the rails, zeebrawood nose and tail blocks are in order.
Rich is over on the Islands for the 2011 Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction…Check out this 1963 Harbour Big Wave Gun! Auction (online too!) begins today!
Toes on the Nose will be stopping by our shop to bring good tunes and good vibes on Saturday, June 18th at 3:00pm! There will be live music and a chance to meet a couple pro surfers! Check out the trailer here!
Dear Rich,
This just in from “our man” in Stinson Beach………..
Keep it moist,

Mitch,
I have my new Harbour 9′ 6″ I got from Greg Escalante and am loving it. It’s sleeker, shorter, faster with less nose rocker and though I can’t nose ride it like the yellow 9′ 10″ Harbour, I love the speed and acceleration. This board loves the pocket and has changed my surfing. Please pass on to Rich that as a long term Harbour lover ( I bought a Cheater in ’67) I am proud to still be able to surf and on a Harbour at that..
Thanks,
Michael Knowlton, Stinson Beach
Thank you to all that showed up to the Board Swap on Saturday! We had a great time and we saw plenty of boards sell!
The whole point of the Board Swap is to provide a friendly environment for average everyday surfers like you and I. We can’t always afford to buy a brand new board off the rack or have one custom made so we came up with this event. Thank you, Todd Saunders for firing up the BBQ! Thank you, Jimmy and Cameron for providing some jams for our enjoyment! Check out the photos!
