NAO's TRIPLE STRINGER

CALI 66 at 9'4"



ALMOST DONE

Almost done with the new website, super excited ,stay tuned ,we've put a lot of work into it , hope everyone likes it



-FACTORY FINDS-

One huge benefit of shaping out of one of the best factories in the world (Watermans Guild), is the raddest that comes through the door everyday, stuff you just normally dont get exposed to, here we have a 7.6 Pat Rawson shaped for Buttons Kaluhiokalani, a Shawn Stussy before he started Stussy, and a Reno Abellira/ Gerry Lopez lightning Bolt!

Greg keepin it pinned on his brothers 7.4 SPACEPIN,  down the line projection+the right amount of vee(no concaves)+proper wider based flexfin placement+rail sensitivity= BOOM evolution.....
inspired by but not trying to replicate the past, not following the modern, way to go Greg!

::NEW PROJECTS::

For 2012 theres a few new models and projects on the horizon, here is a little look at the creation of some smaller boards similar to what I began shaping and riding years ago ,age 17-18, these 2nd generation templates are derived from my LENNOX , pictured below is a

5.7x19x2 3/16th miniLENNOX , rolled displaced entry , hard tucked edge down rail and vee in the tail

and

5.10x20x2.7/16th TFP(twin fin pin)

with a concave deck and single to double concave running through the fins!
