Some pics from recent Moonlight Glassing factory visit and SD surf with tenover

Rolled through SD a couple of weeks ago, spent just enough time there to get a surf in and meet the nice folks at Moonlight.

Just a nice little visit with some really good people. They have the best jobs in the world, and I couldn’t wish upon a better bunch.

Tenover was kind enough to meet me for a dawn patrol. I got into a couple on the new bonzer, but the waves were pretty soft. He definitely made the better call with the Griff Fish.

My wife has suspected it for a while, but after our trip to Ecuador and then this trip, meeting the St. Pierres at moonlight, Tenover, etc… She is convinced that surfers are all really great people. I’m not going to try to convince her otherwise.

Thanks again for coming out, Tenover. Next time I’m bringing a fish though!

Sound like a nice trip, gotta make the pilgrimage to the moonunit to pick up a board one day.

Stinkbug here is a link to that board its in the resources

It’s great seeing pictures of MG, and nice job on the little photo/story. How many square feet do they operate in, or under? Besides the CI’s, who else gets in their rotation? I’d love to see a picture of their sanding room.

Good meeting you Schwuz, glad you were able to get to Moonlight! Man, those pictures of the surf sure do make it look a LOT better/bigger than it was!

hey tenover

did you order that one custom from chandler?

I could be wrong but it looks like that one of the two demo’s he sent up to cali a while back that never got any play.

I think Tanner got the other white 5 fin.

kind of looks loose even with no juice

in particular backside which is a problem for wide fat quad fishes

what do you think about that board?

especially since his employer canned his butt just before the holidays

for continuing to make and trying to help promote those designs without permission…

collectors item soon I would guess…

That is one of the two demos sent out a long while back. You’re right, very loose even in waves without much push. I am however riding it with some LoxBox Turbo’s instead of the original fins that Greg put in…
