Roger, no it’s a work of my own hands, not a WD but a recreation of what a few of maybe the first 10 WD’s were like.
Matt, Thank you for such a nice complement. Coming from you and your knowledge of surfing and board design it means a great deal to me. BTW, those boards are an absolute joy to make.

hey dennis.
i’ve gotta say, your boards are pretty sick. do you spend a lot of time noseriding? had to ask because-
i was out in town here a few weeks ago and swapped with a guy for a few waves. my second wave i found myself in early, and a little behind. took a few small steps to the nose and tried to beat the section. next thing i know im noseriding so deep that the nose of the board is pretty much in the waist high tube with my hand dragging on top of it. it just felt so classic. i felt so privileged to have had that wave on that board. i felt like i needed a beavertail, haha.
it was great, and i replayed that wave in my head over and over again for the next week or two. next time i order a board im gonna come to you, but id like to make one with my own hands first, since i have been surfing for a long time and have never had a go at shapin.
thanks for the noseride.
Poser, thanks for the complement.
I don’t consider myself much of a nose rider kind of guy. In other words I don’t go catching waves for a nose ride. But, when the wave stands up right… it’s a blast to hang there on a nice lined up wall hissing along with both feet planted right at the front edge of the very thinned out 15 ¾ in wide nose board I’ve been riding. It’s like you’re standing on water.
