Machine Man is Coming


PB110535
 
The APS3000 is ready to rumble. This machine is the best thing that can happen to any shaper. it cuts a perfect board from whatever I design... This shot is from when we were half way thru installation. We have been using a cutting service for the last 4 years. Now we have our own! If you want a demo , Or you want to see your custom getting designed and cut. Call Dave for a look-see.

Small surf but its nice

Fin little 2 footers at Tebiro this morning, it lacked power as most reefbreaks do when its small. its on the rise so we should be in for a couple good sessions soon. it was perfect little waves for a Twinnie. the crowd was up a little today as everyone tends to have monday and tuesday off. a lot of people work afternoons and nights in resturants.
