New Stuff from Mccallum

Algumas modelos novos do Jeff Mccallum. Fantásticas como sempre.
New models from Jeff Mccallum. Great stuff as always.

8'7 Pintail Gun with Quad fin set up! (Jeff's personal). Made for serious surf.

New Model - The 1954

A mix of a Simmons, quad and hull.

Jeff call it the 1954, the yearBob Simmons died.

(Notice the mix of sanded and polish bottom)

Another great board (missed the name).

Again the same mix of finish. It gives the board an amazing and very unique look.

And a new rad Spoon, with a swallow tail, and cut away keels. Insane!

Spoon Surfing

Jeff Mccallum sent me this great photos of him surfing on one of his Flex Spoons. Incredible stuff Jeff!!

This board looks fun!

Josh Hall Mini Fish Simmons Quad

JH Mini Fish Simmons Quad

Avaiable 6’6” and smaller: 6’0, 21, 2 5/8
Rail: Rolled down Rail with lots of edge in the tail
Rocker: Low entry and tail rocker
Bottom Contours: Single concave to double barrel vee carried off the tail
Type of Waves: Good in all waves waist high and above


Josh's comments: This board is the super charged version of the J Hall keel fish. Same outline, totally different performace charecteristics. The quad fins allow you to really surf more aggressively and the vee plane helps with tighter turns in smaller surf with out the side slipping effects that keels can have Removing the keels and adding four fins also increases speed due to four times the amount of flex, allowing a surfer to generate tons of speed with every bottom-top turn combo.


Good review here:

Josh is already in Europe, soon he will be in Portugal!

Less is more

Es-cent-ial just released their new collection. The Fullsuits and Springs lost the smooth skin to make them last longer. Now you have a warmer and stronger westsuit while keeping all the good thinks from the yamamoto rubber and the simple and cool look from Es-cent-ial.

I love them, so simple, so cool!! Made to keep you warm and confortable, not to show off!

Josh Hall Long Fish Simmons Quad

Available from 6’7 to 7’1: 7’0, 21 ½, 2 7/8
Rail: Rolled down Rail with lots of edge in the tail
Rocker: Natural Rocker
Bottom Contours: Single concave starts up front and goes off the tail
Type of Waves: All waves, beach and reef breaks, best chest high and above.

Josh's comments: This is my version of Skip’s long fish. He built my first long fish for my birthday in 2003 and this is where it has led me. I’ve added my own flavor to the spice by using the fish simmons bottom on it which shortens up the turning length of the board by adding rail rocker and with out losing any drive. Tons of glide, paddles extremely well and allows you to surf more aggressively in smaller surf than than other long fish.
