Stubbie Sunday turned out to be pretty fun despite the onshore wind and crappy surf. Folks had a good time hanging out and trying new boards, while checking every so often where they stood in the silent auction for some of the boards I brought. Mr.Ken made sushi tacos and there seemed to be a lot of Kirin tall boys going around. Big thanks to everyone who made it all the way out to Hasaki Beach to share some waves and smiles!

TOMORROW IS STUBBIE SUNDAY!

We're going to be camping tonight at the Hasaki Campground just behind the surf spot and breakwater. Sei and I are going to barbeque so please come and find us in out little cabin. We'll have food and beer, so come and hang out Saturday night!

Here's a quiver shot of all the boards I'm bringing to Stubbie Sunday. They'll be up for sale on the day of the event...

Here's a look at some of the hulls I'm bringing to Stubbie Sunday next weekend...stoked! Big thanks to Moonlight Glassing for getting these beauties finished in time for my flight!

Here's some pics of a new art collaboration I did with Alex Kopps. He wanted me to make one of these 7 years ago when I had my first shaping room in Oakland. Back then I had no idea where to even start on something like this. 1000 boards later and Alex finally gets his Dark Cloud...

STUBBIE SUNDAY JAPAN!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new blog about stubbies and hulls. I'm coming out to Japan next week to have a little gathering called Stubbie Sunday. I've been having them here in California over the past few months and they've been a lot of fun. I'm bringing a small quiver of hulls for everyone to try out and surf, so I hope you all can make it:

Come Saturday evening so you can be at the event early on Sunday!

Here's driving directions and a link to some pictures of the beach. There's a campground right at the beach, so I hope some of you can come on Saturday night and camp with us. We're going to hang out by a fire and listen to some music...
