jeff's special

Ryan shaped this special (secret) one for Jeff, 100% custom made. Nico did the amazing acid splash and Carlos the shinny polish. The result: a unique and magical surfboard!

Josean D.Bowls

Josean just sent me some photos of his beautiful D.Bowls.
This 9'4 D.Bowls was shaped Ryan Lovelace on his trip to Portugal and then finished by the Wavegliders crew, Nico and Carlos.
It has a clean white tint and glass on wood fin by Quilhas Alfredo.

Thanks for the photos Josean and enjoy your amazing new board.

the special one

Every surfboard I've sold was unique and very special. From the first e-mail to the delivery I do my best to make my costumers happy with the buy and try to assure they get the perfect surfboard, the Magic one, just like they dreamed.
But this one will remain in my memory for a while. It's an amazing surfboard from all angles. From the shaping process to the riding style everything in this board is unique and absolutely beautiful.
Such surfboard deserves a great photo and who better than the owner to do it.

Shaped by Ryan Lovelace, glassed by Ryan with the help of Nico and sanded by Carlos.

Flex Spoon

Portuguese surf mag, SurfPortugal, has on the latest issue a nice article about the Flex Spoon and George Greenough legacy. The Flex Spoon shown on the photo was hand made by Ryan Lovelace on his trip to Portugal last June. It was the first one made in Portugal and one of the few ever made in Europe.

I will post photos of that outstanding surfboard as soon as possible.

Check the amazing photo by Miguel Barreira, proud owner of the Flex Spoon.
