Coming Soon...



Hollow, wooden, foam-filled Mini Simmons.



8'2'' HWS Prototype























My newest creation. Wanted to build the longest board available from a single plywood sheet. Ended being 2" longer because of nose and tailblocks. I really like the shape, but rocker came flatter than expected because of springback...sucks. It's also quite heavy, because top and bottom skins are 1/4" instead of 1/8" which is what I normally use, because the original idea was to build it unglassed. Thin rails (thanks to domed deck) built the Jensen way. Glassed single 4oz all around. BTW, it's not a HWS sensu stricto: before building up the rails the board was filled up with canned insulation foam. No need to put a vent on it. Single "rising sun" fin built from wood scraps.
