Stylin' Matt King

Infinity team rider Matt King has been absolutely loving our Gold Label Single Fin. Speaking with him last night he said, "I've ridden alot of single fins in my career, and this is hands down one of the best I've ever ridden." Matt's really starting to get her dialed, and these photos, courtesy of local lensman Jared Sislin, are all the proof anyone needs. To learn more about the Gold Label Single Fin, click here.

Gold Label: Single Fin

Ruby just recently got his new single fin (back when our boy Andrew Jimenez stopped by for a little photo sesh) in from the glass shop and couldn't be more stoked. Nice and heavy, 8oz top and bottom with an 8oz deck patch and fin patch, this puppy flies down the line and has just enough hold to really crank a solid turn. Come by and check her out, it's right about time to be thinkin' about a new summer board anyhow…

Check out the single fin on our online store here.

Aussie Vee Bottom

Master Boehne just recently took a short break from pumping out racing paddleboards to carve out this beauty, an 8'10" by 23 1/2" by 3 1/8" remake of a late 60's Australian vee bottom (think Midget Farrelly and Bob McTavish). Deep single concave with bevelled rails in the nose leading out a large amount of vee out the tail, these things were designed with small waves in mind. We can't wait to see her come out of glassing. Enjoy.

Peanuts

"This is one of the oldest Calif. made surfboards in exhistence. It was made in 1937 by Loren Harrison [for George "Peanuts" Larson], from redwood planking he found in a barn. Loren said he put lead in the nose to 'help it drop in.'"

Peanuts is photographed below surfing a 15-or-so-foot wave at Killer Dana circa 1938. This board measures out at 11' long, weighed approximately 113 pounds, had, as mentioned, lead in the nose, pinched "egg" rails, a lot of vee out the tail, and no fin. You read right, no fin and 113 pounds. There aren't too many people who'd take off on a wave that big with 3 fins let alone none. Cruise into the shop and check out the "Peanuts" book published by the Croul Family Foundation, documenting the life of George Larson in South Orange County's surfing subculture in its earliest years.

"I'm not talkin about the way it was, just the way it's never gonna be again."
-Peanuts

No fin, no problem.

Kinger Cutty

Here's team rider Matt King on a sick little one throwin' more water on our single fin prototype than most people can on their shortboard. He's been absolutely digging this thing, we just got it back from Kinger after a month! Swing on by the shop and we'll let you demo the single fin if you wanna know what all the fuss is about...

North Shore

With it being primal season on the North Shore and all, we'd figure we'd share with you a little North Shore winter from seasons past, circa 1977. Enjoy.
