resin tint

the bottom lamination of the new 6'1 board was done earlier this week. i worked with a green resin tint for the tail area.

new board in progress

some progress to be reported out of the shaping bay. the outline of my new 6'2 retro board was already finished last week. tonight i was working on the bottom, top and rail shape. towards the nose i worked in a concave shape while i kept the middle flat to allow the board to paddle easily.

happy client = happy shaper

always a pleasure to receive positive feedback from clients. toni sent me these pictures from spain and seems to be stoked :) thanks for sharing and keep on riding!

supplies arrived

it felt ike xmas yesterday! while i was at work the truck with new supplies from france arrived and restocked the shaping bay.

xtra foam blanks (6'5'' & 6'11'')

new sanding pad, rhino grip sanding paper & polish


fcs fins, plugs & single fin boxes


what's next? I am torn between a 6' roundtail retro surfbaord or a slighly smaller but wider nugget shape. I also want to work again with a resin tint finish to bring some color into the boards. i'll keep you posted about my choice and progress.

sold

yesterday evening i had a visitor from basle. tobi is a passionate snowboarder and wanted to buy his first surfboard. i am stoked to equip him with a landlock stick and hope he's going to like it.

the beauty of côte des basques

we spent two great weeks at our second home base in hendaye. although not everyone was able to make the trip down to france we still had a few reunions incl. surf & great food. epic!

the waves were unfortunately not at its world class level. we only gathered four days with swell during the beginning and end of the two weeks. however, this lead to some excursions (e.g. bike trip on top of la rhune) and unveiled the hidden and beautiful corners of the basque coast. please find below a few impressions:





during the next weeks i'll order new blanks and start with projects to survive the long & dark winter evenings. the flat spell time we spent in surf shops was definitely a good inspiration :-)

boards are packed, ready for our trip to france :)
