Art Show Tonight in Kakaako

Come down tonight to check out some WELZIE resin art at the Pangeaseed art show at Box Jelly in Kakaako.

Hollywood Shark Bite

 Eric  came in last night with a old Clark Foam windsurf blank he scored before it ended up in the dump. After a lot of doodling, Carl just started hacking at it. No template and no measuring. It was pretty nuts watch him sculpt this beast of a blank into a rideable device.

 tuning in the bottom V...  More to come on this new board.

Hollywood called again, this time for a surfboard with a shark bite out of it. After a little Googling around we found that we needed a good 24" radius for a 15' Tiger Shark. Sketchy. Here is Carl cutting up an old resin drum.

Some makeshift teeth.

Uncle Owl didnt know what to make of this shark bite contraption. We rolled the van up the wood to give the bite some crunch.

About 5 min after the bite we got a call from Hollywood that the bite was not supposed to be a fatal bite. oops

Carl with the fake jaw

Beach Birds

Some beach birds down at Pipeline.

 Sustainable Coastlines is holding a fundraiser event this weekend and we are so stoked to be a part of it. Here is some of the art being donated to the auction.

A quick doodle before hitting Brooke's new board with some raggadoodling

Brooke's board getting doodled

And Craig Riely found some Coors light in Panama, and looks like some grass too ;)

We told Craig to send us a photo of him going over the falls so he sent this one of him kicking out in a wetsuit. Lost in Texation

Some pieces in the Greenroom Gallery in Waikiki. 

Pro Bowl Commercial

Last year we had a film crew come into the shop and take some footage of the surfboards and art. This past week we started getting texts saying Two Crows was seen on commercials for Oahu during the Pro Bowl. We ill try and find the actual commercial and put it up. Making Mum proud...

good start for the year

It has been a wet January but a fun one. Surfboards and art going through the shop and fun waves to try them in. Here is a few pictures of what has been going on...

Good sand bars all month. Been living the dream hanging beachfront and trying out all kinds of boards.

The Good Kids arsenal

Always like having a few ladysliders around the shop. Think they were doing a sock photo shoot.

Found this post on instagram. Its an ad for the shapers that are going to work in a surf factory in France. Looks like they got some Crows flying over in September

Two Crows getting some love in the new INNOV8 magazine. The inflight magazine for Go Airlines.

Daniel Jones board we made for the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout 2013 that never ran. Oh well the board was done on time :)

Greg's 5 fin contraption with a little fish eat fish artwork.

It's a skippa

We stumbled on this great little video from a few months back that our friend Michael made. Nice work! 

A Mini Simmons from Michael Schwenke on Vimeo.

We just made a couple copies of our friend Chris's 10'6" Skip Frye Eagle. We don't usually do copies of Trademark models of other brands... but it's hard to get a proper copy of that particular model out on this rock I hear. We had to wait a bit for the custom blanks to come in, but the finished product was worth it. Check out those Redwood side stringers. With Redwood, sometimes it comes really light and looks like cedar after it's glassed. But other times it comes in a much richer, almost black color. Always a roll of the dice, and it came up a winner on this board! 

Nine is fine

Our team rider Honolua stopped by our shop yesterday and picked up her custom art piece, "Nine is fine" ...count the toes ;)

 

Welzie in office... told you that mini was going to get some art. 

Fishies... 

Vava's Dreamrunner. Fast and functional 

Vava and his New Asymmetrical

Hell yeah, love the 2 headed llama

In with the new out with the old. The fleet 

Years of fiddling with my planer has led me to just redesign the whole thing from scratch.

 We have a friend that can CNC cut all the parts for me... all I gotta do it is draw it. :)

Surf shots and the bare mini-mum

Couple of cool shots came in, first one is from our girl Izzy Walker surfing on the North Shore by Gil Hanada

 Second one is from our old friend Kyle Buthman in Nor-Cal by Ryan Craig. This one is part of a Surfline feature you can find HERE

Our buddy Greg wanted a Mini but dressed up like a normal shortboard, light glass and just a sanded finish. An all around board he can just throw in the trunk of his car. 

We added a quad setup to make it as versatile as possible... and then added another 5th fin that can be put in if extra traction is required in better surf. Seemed like a logical solution.

A nice deep double concave is not standard on the minis, but is added if the board will be surfed in good waves. This helps keep the tail from sliding around too much.

Lower, more shortboard-esk rails

Oh yeah. Rocket ship. :) I doubt Welzie's gunna let it out of the factory without some proper art with the pens though...
