Heres one that is still in progress for a friend and long time customer, Kabir.
Kabir has a history of getting interesting boards (ie: carbon railed stringerless SDq...). This time we went a little more classic to fill a large gap in his quiver, between a massive longboard and his 5'7 SDq.

This one is a 6'3 Stub, which is very hull influenced in deck shape and foil, but has fuller rails, less hull in the bottom, and a single-double-spiral vee bottom shape; making it a lot more friendly for every day waves but still providing tons of trim when you're ready for it.

Kabir came out to document the glassing of the first side...he comes out to the shop a few times a week to hang out and check out the day's projects; so heres what he got!

I took delivery of the stubby
I have been sooooo waiting for this baby.

It is so super sweet.
Ryan really outdid himself.
He almost kept the board, he liked it sooo much

Im hoping that we can score some waves this weekend.http://santabarbarasurfer.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

In case you are wondering having a board made.
Ryan is the man!

Nothing but stoke!

I didn't get to see it in the water, but I did see K with it in this morning after his maiden session in Goleta. It looks even better in person! That color is really perfect.
