He's been around and he's now postin' up. Live from the Broadway Downs - Speed Demons newest all-star, my joint chief of staff Doctor Ironman Roccamora.

Canard Confit

Alexandre / surfer / master shaper / architect / father / professor / blogger - is a busy dude. His company Barrel Surfboards has been going strong for 3 years now. Back in October, I had the opportunity to test drive a quad fish hand-shaped by Alex. From what I observed in my travels throughout the Basque Region (Euskal Herria), the fish movement is beginning to take flight and Alex is the go-to at the helm in France and beyond. His designs are progressive and his attitude is first rate. He is not in the business of pushing volume, rather he desires a balance in his life - one that employs his love of design coupled with his passion for surf. The end result, well you can see for yourself:

7'4'' pocket trimmin' "Albatroz" shape - collaberation with Nereuskinesis (Portugal)

5'10'' Twin Fin shaped for Alex by Alex

His glasser is top notch too -

Making Notes

Would love to add these to the collection - £ 1,000,000 were printed and a limited edition of 50, each sheet containing 10 notes, were signed by the artist.

Can your shaper surf?

'Jagger

Fresh bait waitin' to snag some Northern Atoll grinds. These fish are so beautiful and you can jag 'em... with a bit of practice. The Maldivians are pretty serious about not catching bait fish with nets, so it can be quite tricky landing one of these suckers - keeping 'em alive is a whole 'nother story.




















We had plenty'o fakies on hand, too.

Salvaged

Exotic woods are a touchy subject - aesthetically beautiful, but often endangered or irresponsibly harvested. Here is a fat stack of 100% salvaged Brooklyn exotica. Live and direct - saved from the garbage bin and ready for a second chance to shred.

















Above is a selection of Bloodwood, Tigerwood, Teak, Peruvian Walnut, Paduke & African Mahogany. They are ready to be sliced and sanded - I'm thinking my landlady is gonna love my new stash - especially the hum of my bandsaw crankin' on a Sunday morning.


















Ok so my bandsaw is pretty quiet, but check out these twin keels. Shown above are (from top to bottom) Bloodwood, Peruvian Walnut & Tigerwood. Now it's time to foil. The Walnut is by far going to be the easiest to sand. No grinder right now, but my orbital sander should cover it. I'll throw a 60-grit on and post up when they're ready for glassin'
