Low-cost shaping racks!



        

From wrecked bed frame into low-cost shaping racks! from pedro vieira on Vimeo.

Driftwood Collective posed itself a challenge:

To build a shaping rack without spending a penny... We failed! We had to expend 7 euros and 80 cents on screws. In the process we've destroyed one unused bed frame, two faulty wooden trestles and one camping mat.

It was worth the effort... see for yourself!

Economic Depression - 0
Creativity - 1

Kustomland Photography Journal




"This book has a great deal of information about the early Kustom car craze that flooded California in the mid 1950s. It has some rare photographs of early cruise spots and detailed shots from the cars that set the benchmark. These cars were the catalyst in starting this trend among youth culture! I like this rare 56' Plymouth Kustom with a Chevy grill.
Kustomrama have all the details."

Handplanes




"Made with sustainable wood and coated with plant based entropy bio resin, these are very environmentally sound planes that work really well. 

Cyrus Sutton and I design and make the planes under the Surfcraft Cooperative logo. They also have a adjustable strap made by Micheal Disculpio up in Santa Cruz. 

Patagonia in Cardiff, Mollusk in Venice, and Wetsand in Ventura are carrying them, or contact me (Jon Wegener) or Korduroy.tv to order a custom."

2011 in review from Deus Bali

"When you look at the concept of one year strictly as a period of time passing, it seems pretty arbitrary. Our planet's complete orbit around the sun equals 365 day and nights, which leads us on a journey through 12 months and 52 weeks….or 52 weekends, whichever way you want to look at it.

Wherever in the world you are, once that clock strikes midnight on the 31st of December, we as the human race undertake a new embarkation into another arbitrary period of time. Yes, on paper and for general organizational purposes, 365 days is used to quantify 'one year'…but it's really what you accomplish, experience and change in that time that really means something isn't it?"

Mike Hynson, Co-Star of "The Endless Summer", Resurfaces With Tales of the Brotherhood

The Surfer Who Came In From the Cold
Whatever happened to The Endless Summer co-star Mike Hynson? A lot, much of it bad, starting when he got mixed up with the notorious Laguna Beach drug-smuggling ring known as the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.

See full article in, Boda Surf Family Blog

The Soap Bar

After the 'Tracking' trip just a few months ago, Tyler Warren did his thing, spent some time in the confines of the shaping bay and left us (Deus) with a trio of foam-craft before his departure. Three 5 foot "Bars of Soap" now sit in our showroom racks, adding a bit of color and smooth Mini Simmons lines to the array on offer.

Insane Wood Work


 Greg Wheeldon from Brisbane has been busy at it again. Lots of detail once again. Great to see the effort he puts into his boards.
" I finished a new 8’ Mal for myself, and pick it up from the glasser on Xmas Eve.  Once the sting goes from the cyclone swell, I will be christening the new board."
" The board is 8’ x 21 1/2 x 2 1/2, paulownia and western red cedar, with a woven bamboo feature panel in the nose and tail pads.  Glassed on fin with a checker pattern to match the deck detail."
 "Another one for the quiver.  Hope to see you out at Currumbin over the Xmas New Year break."
"My son is finishing a 6’ retro pintail with a rising sun radial pattern in the nose.  I’ll send you photos, when complete."
