[completed in april 2011]
I shaped this board for my 8 year old son. He was a beginner who needed a kid-size board (easy to carry down the trail under his arm) but floaty and stable. I imagined this kid shortboard for him. It is a very special piece as it was my very first time shaping a surfboard ever. The shape is far for being clean and I would definitely change many things if I had to do it again, now that I gained a bit more experience... but my son is very proud to have his very own board (signed by Rob Machado, by the way ;)) The fin system is FCS plugs with Soft-Tech fins (safer for kiddos' heads!). The glass was done by Moonlight Glassing Co.
The bright green color illustrates a leaf on which the shadow of a tree frog contrasts.
