Triple Out

 

TRIPLE OUT

"California host some of the mushiest waves suited for longboards. Many of the worlds coastline is laced with beachbreak or steeper conditions. California is unique, its no wonder traditional style thrives here. People see the DYNAMIC FOIL PROTOTYPES and are intimidated by sleekness. Prototypes Surfar are inspired by transitional design and built for advanced conditions carving turn and stretch trimming critical sections. For longboard spots you need to trim through flatter sections, and turn to redirect the glide I created NEW SERIES FOR SOUP SURF: combines defined foil, with reasonable dimensions to create what I call "Phil's rocket to the moon." I am currently shaping in the 22+ / 9'6 + range for the classic dogs and cats seeded around these California conditions.
Alternative to trim-less hog noseriders, more cruise element than progressive gH prototypes. Future classic, trim approach ARCH back assault weapon finding trim in slanted surf, bring classic style into modern speed and dont be afraid to walk."






CALIFORNIA CUSTOMS

"Spring is near! Time to get out of here. Ive nearly completed all the custom orders placed and plan on building out some stock for while Im gone. See here for updates on any extra boards available just before my departure. I recommend coming in and seeing them for yourself. A picture reflects the outline. But where the uniqueness to custom boards lie is in the varying rail shapes, bottom contours and rocker. You have to feel it under your arm. Each board is very different and suited for assorted riders and waves. I am always creating new outlines. But the basic principles are the same. Its the DYNAMIC elements that activate the outline. You have to really feel handshaped boards in the flesh. Although I try to highlight features in the photos.When you see angular photos showing foils, rails rocker etc. I leave march 26. All must be sold before. What is left goes into stores where you pay retail price. Ill post a stock list soon. . ."

Waste to Waves

Korduroy Tv - "As surfers, hopefully we are all aware that the boards we use for our oceanic enjoyment “are one of the most toxic vehicles in action sports.” Waste to Waves is creating a way for old, broken, or unused boards to be recycled into new foam blanks by Marko foam. By simply dropping your old board off to a Waste to Waves receptacle at a participating surf shop, you are ensuring that your board won’t end up in the landfill. Check em out! For more, check out sustainablesurf.org or wastetowaves.org"

Bird Huffman - Innerviews


Bird Huffman - Innerviews from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
For those who know him, Bird Huffman has become synonymous with surf culture and the surfboard in San Diego. Growing up on the beaches of La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Sunset Cliffs, Bird's knowledge and connections to the legends in the southern San Diego area like Skip Frye, Steve Lis, Bill Caster, and more are undeniable.

He has also amassed one of the most incredible collections of surfboards, which hang from the rafters at his surf shop "Bird's Surf Shed." Each board has it's own unique story behind it, which Bird will happily share with you as you stare in awe at the various pieces of our sport's history.

Also, as host of FM94/9's Authentic Surf Report, you may recognize Bird's voice as he shares what he feels is a surf report similar to what one of your buddies would share with you, rather than an embellished, over-promising report.

In this episode of Innerviews, Bird candidly shares what it was like growing up in southern San Diego, and how he views the state of surfing right now.

Almond Shop | 3-Year Anniversary




"This week marks the 3-year anniversary of our home base here on Old Newport Blvd. These last few years have flown by… yet I can hardly remember life before the “Almond Shop”. We’re so thankful for all of the support, encouragement and loyalty. Without it we’d just have a weird room with surfboards in it.. and we probably would have given up long ago. The shop has been, and continues to be, a great venue for us to display the wares of our efforts and to have a dialogue with anyone who finds their way to our front-door. We’ve been blessed by a tremendous number of people, but I specifically want to thank the guys for sticking with it through the highs and lows and not always vanishing into thin air when the waves get good. So, year 4 is dedicated to Jeffrey, Taylor, Cameron, Griffin and Gully. Thanks, Dave."

"All Good Things..." by Deus Bali


All good things come full circle. In the 60’s, there were the “belly boards” made out of foam and fiberglass with glassed in skegs or fins. Good fun for all that took a lay… In the 70’s and 80’s, we saw the rise of the “boogie board” made from softer foam, or as we now know it, the sponge. When you realized there was something better, you rose to the occasion or to your feet and started to surf… Well, my good friends, we here at Deus have resurrected, the “belly board”, bringing it full circle. We put our collective heads together with our resident shaper and good mate, Chris Garrett, and started churning out “belly boards” for all to …
