Mini Stonehenge, Asymmetrical Minis, Other stuff...

Cool stuff coming out of the Santa Cruz shop this week. First of all a quick thanks to Tim and Andy for stopping by with some much needed refreshments after a long day the other evening!
Stopping in on my buddy Brian I learned about focusing energy via a mini stonehenge he's got assembled in his living room. Getting weird, our type of guy. We discussed asymmetrical boards, finless boards and various other concepts that would expand anybodies mind.  
I got right to Brian's concepts in the shaping room.If you want your board quick come up with something in a mini stonehenge and your shaper will probably jump right to it.

I love asymmetrical designs, they make so much sense. Think about weighting your heels vs your toes. It's an asymmetrical feeling, why not make your board to match? Also consider the side of the board the wave is on verses the side it's not... coming off the bottom vs. coming off the top? Always different sides of the board, always gets my mind turning... great stuff.
A quick shot of our friend Debbie's board. Cool template, looks like so much fun. User friendly boards for friendly users. 
Then of course there's this pic that Gigi and Jeni sent in from Kauai... just in case I was boring you guys with all that board talk. <(") -C
