My first time out at Dungeons almost 5 years ago now. I have learned a fair amount about myself and the wave in this time but I am still struck by its raw beauty and how lucky we are to have it on our doorstep.

Thanks for the support

Post Mavericks surf session 2006 Randy Cone @randy_cone_surfboards breaking down the green machine he made for himself that @granttwigbaker won the @titansofmavericks contest on. Grant Washburn was riding some magic Cones at this point as was @alexmblau @rseelbach and @benandrewssurf most still do. I was lucky enough to hang around the shop and pick their brains and surf OB and Mavs with these two mentors. This board featured a swallowtail 2+1 Randy fin set up and heavy glass. Very inspiring design.

In today’s show @naturalselectionsurf GM @photomurray charts his unlikely rise to the photo editor desk at Surfer Magazine in an era where 10,000 slides would pass through monthly, the unknown charger who grabbed a board from a dumpster to nail a cover shot, why perseverance and work ethic can trump talent, the pleasure of discovering an unsurfed wave and the heartbreak of losing it to industrial development, and why a slow death of trad surf culture is giving way to a modern renaissance. Enjoy episode 609 of Surf Splendor on all podcast apps 🎧🎤

When you have to ride a very big board and the predominant demand is control, thoughts toward setting a rail and holding the desired line have us here.
This board was built from the reference of a 6’9 1/2” I made for @granttwigbaker which he connected with.
The experimentation here is in a chambered, waterproof cavity on the toe side rail. It has baffles within. Paddle out hollow. Fill the rail. Set the heavier, yet already water set, toe edge and flow. Empty, compare, share.
Both are flax/flax basalt builds and have octagonal chined rails, accelerated twist in the exit rocker and hideous, but delicately balanced foil. Mapped out textural changes in predictable fail zones are throughout the bottom casting thoughts toward a vortex shredding.
Certainly not the prettiest of boards, but with blinders on and a commitment to confidence and control, here we are.
Stamped pattern repeats and offset prints to promote calm in the deep and heavy waters, imaging a third point focus opportunity in many of the elements here from which to center breathing and focus.
Honored to receive the second place award amongst a herd of talented board builders and brands being represented @boardroomshow best of show category this year.
It’s not lost on me having the likes of Darrick Doerener, @chris_christenson73 @lylecarlsonsurfboards and others look over a board to be used in consequential conditions and green light the ideas. Congratulations to @randy_cone_surfboards for the win and thanks to Boardroom Show for the opportunity created to have us push the ideas and progression. Thanks to @realwatersports for the sponsorship of the category. #creatorsandinnovators @visslasurf
