Preço/price:

First 2 are ready

The first two boards from Ryan Lovelace are ready for delivery.

- First is a beautiful 5'8 OG with an amazing fabric inlay by Ryan and Nico. It's one of my favourite boards from Ryan. A shape that I'm sure will work perfectly on Joan's feet. Hope you enjoy it!
- Second is a 7'11 Mini-glider. It's almost 8' of pure Glide. Get her in a good wave Claude and she will make you smile!

Josh Hall is back in France

After the success of his trip to Europe last November, Josh Hall is back in Europe for another shaping trip.

This time Josh will only visit France, where he will work at Blend Glassing.

Ryan is gone but still a lot to do

Ryan left Portugal last Saturday morning. He was tired but happy and willing to return soon.

He shaped almost all his models, a couple custom ones and a unique and impressive Flex Spoon!
He had time to catch a few waves, although not the best Portugal has to offer. The onshore never stopped and swell wasn't enough for an epic session. That Asym Hull asked for a decent test that we will have to do for him... Life isn't fair!!!!
Ryan shapes captured the attention of the editor of SurfPortugal mag, João Valente that was very kind to pay us a visit and do an interview with Ryan for the mag. A very cool and relaxed interview, done outside, sitting on bricks, just like two friends chatting. Earlier we had André Carvalho taking some photos of Ryan shaping. You can see some of his work on his blog http://umframecomvida.blogspot.com/
The feedback from this trip has been amazing and we're only half way. We still have to glass all the boards and deliver then to all the anxious costumers.

There are plenty of photos from this trip and I promise I will post a few later. For now, here's some from André Carvalho and a great one by Miguel Barreira (last photo).

Busy week

This has been a very busy week for us, specially for Ryan. A lot of boards to shape! This week he finnaly managed to catch some waves and today he did an interview for the portuguese surf mag, SurfPortugal. Work is almost done, just 1 more day of work ahead. Then its all to Wavegliders to glass all that foam.


I will post more photos soon but in the meantime, here's a few from today, including a couple from the glassing of Flex Spoon.

Asym crazyness

First board that Ryan shapes outside California is a rad one! He shaped it for himself on the first day and everybody is waiting to try it.
Work is going very well. We've doubled the orders last friday and incredibly... I'm putting orders on hold!!!!
I can't thank enough Ryan, Nico, Carlos, Rui Lopes, Bruno Birra and all you guys, costumers or not, that make this trip possible.

Ryan is in the house

Ryan Lovelace arrived yesterday morning after a very long trip from Santa Barbara.

Like expected, he prooved to be a very cool and relaxed guy.

Most of the morning was spent talking.

After a nice barbecue outside the factory, a generous offer by Bruno Birra from Homeblown Blanks, Ryan decided to start shaping a board for himself instead of going to rest. Too much talk and no foam were making him anxious!

Today he started to work early and by midday, an amazing T.Rev Bonzer was shaped. First of it's kind!  Then he started working on a OG. Nice shape, very interesting with the twin keel/single fin combo.

When I left the factory he was drawing the lines for what will be another of his beautiful fabric inlays.

You can follow everything here and on my facebook page
