Spain’s Salinas Longboard Club Soaks In Some California Surf Culture
A recent issue of “3sesenta”, a Spanish surf publication, featured the Salinas Longboard Club’s visit to California this past September. The trip included a stop at the Bing & Jacobs Surfboard factory where members caught up with Matt & Margaret Calvani and then a weekend surfing the famous First Point at the Malibu Surfing Association Classic surf contest where the Spanish club made their debut, riding boards none other than Bing Surfboards!

Schuyler is purging her Quiver!
Schuyler is selling off some of her old boards. Come by and take a look.
The first is one of the original Kookbox boards that Stu Kenson shaped for Joel. (One of Joel's personal boards)
The second is a Joel Tudor board for Sky.
Both are in impeccable condition.

7'9 Stepdeck - Almond Fine Surfboards
I've been inspired by some of the midlengths that I've seen in the water recently. Cyrus has been making himself some fun looking 2+1 boards. I traded boards in the water with Knost a few weeks ago, and really enjoyed the midlength he shaped for himself, and I haven't been able to shake these boards out of my head.
With that in mind, Griffin and I put our heads together the other day to come up with something new and interesting. We started with the original log rhythm template as our foundation (21 1/2" wide log) We narrowed it to 20 3/4"
I really wanted to keep plenty of volume and rail through the middle of the board (50/50), but then transition to a modern edge in the tail. I don't really like displacement hulls, personally, but I do like boards that glide and trim effortlessly, so the extra volume is intended to make this board glide like a log, but turn and respond like a midlength.
We ended up pulling in the nose, because we agreed we didn't need so much foam up there for what we wanted this board to do. So we actually used the tail template of the Pinwheel model (longboard we did for Japan) for the new nose. In order to further eliminate foam in the nose of the board, we gave it a step. A nice heart-shaped step.
