No Comments, Just STOKE

Photo Session #1

Acho que não precisamos de palavras aqui, só as fotos.
Don't think we need any works here, just the photos.

CHEGARAM!!!!!!!

Foi uma longa viagem desde a Califórnia até Lisboa e dois dias de muito stress para as libertar da alfândega, mas agora já descansam em minha casa. Mesmo a tempo do Fish Fry!

It was a long journey from California to Lisbon and two very stressful days to release them from customs, but now they rest at my home. Just in time for the Fish Fry.

Thanks Sean, Mike, Nate and everybody who helped to make this happen!

Hynson BKQ Reviews

Enquanto as Hynson BKQ não chegam, aqui ficam alguns exemplos do que outros dizem sobre elas:

Since the Hynsons BKQ didn't arrived yet, here some reviews done by others:


"I got so much speed off a head high set that I literally felt out of control like the board was getting ready to lift off... top turn, carve, fly past the section that'd stop most mortals, top turn, and drive down the line... I'm still feeling the stoke of that wave even to this day" "The best part about owning this board is I feel like my surfing ability has improved" in http://forum.surfermag.com/forum/showflat.php?Number=1372239


"This is one of the best fish I have ever surfed. It was very fast down the line as would be expected, would turn on a dime, and went vertical extremely well. It was kind of having the best of both worlds, the speed of a fish combined with manueveribility of a standard shortboard" in http://forum.surfermag.com/forum/showflat.php?Number=1024849


"All I can say about the board is it rides better than it looks, and I think it looks pretty damn good. It's fast and extremely manueverable. Squares off the bottom well and cuts back on a dime." in http://forum.surfermag.com/forum/showthreaded.php?Cat=0&Number=1243731&page=6

Stoked

I'm soooooo STOKED!

3 Custom Hynson Black Knight Quads for Portugal.

"The Blue board just has to be sanded and polished...
The Black board needs to be glossed ...
and your board is getting pinlines and will also need glossing"
words by Sean Mattison

Black Knights in Japan

Recebi do Sean Mattison noticias acerca das pranchas que encomendei e algumas fotos da recente viagem que ele e o Mike Hynson fizeram ao Japão. Altas pranchas num cenário pouco habitual!

Just got some news from Seam Mattison regarding the boards I ordered and some photos of his recent trip to Japan with Mike Hynson. Great boards in a unusual scenery.

Já agora… as pranchas estão quase prontas, mais uns dias!

By the way… boards are almost done, just a couple more days!
