Boards are like tools in a box, there are different tools for different applications. There is a time and place for a modern thruster just as there is for a single fin mid length just as there is for a fear-inducing 11’ jaws gun. Specializing in but…
Further down the asymmetrical road we go, leaving behind the tribulations with the small victories riding shotgun. This one is for myself, and another shot at a “hi-performance” version of the design. The straight rail on the toe-side is
New model alert!🚨 Inspired by a clip of Luke Davis at Malibu, Anthony wanted a board to roll in early and cruise, but also go fast and turn hard. I stretched the Buddha Twin outline to 6’7”, widened the nose at 12”, and tail in fro
5’9” TPP2 (Twin Pin Plus 2) for Vince. This one’s basically a quad channel twin pin, but with a quad option to make it more versatile. I’ve found it to be a great travel board as it kinda works in everything.
Hi-Pro purple dream machine for Anthony. I know sidebites and speed edges are frowned upon in some corners of the longboard world but I think that’s nonsense. Function over fashion!
6’0” Thruster Fish for @jah_blesse . This one works great with both keels and upright templates. Exaggerated rocker flip behind the fins and a good amount of vee off the tail with the option for a third fin make this one pretty whippable.
8’9” Buddha Gun quad for @derek_daigneault. This design is a result of a lot of mental notes from a lot of big board sessions over the last couple years. Lower entry rocker and more tail rocker help the board get up on a plane quicker wh
After about a year’s worth of R and D, I’m stoked to now offer three different fin templates. Available for purchase via DMs or at staffordshapes . com
Buddha happy meal for @tarzangelo - a 6’2” Buddha OG, 6’8” Buddha Step, and the second generation of a 7’4” Buddha Step Pipeliner. The first one we did worked, but was little flat so we put some extra flip in the n
You have to walk before you can run! Shop grom days - eyes open and mouth shut, pushing brooms, shoveling foam, and soaking it all in. Learned at lot in these early days @firesurfboards.
Personal quiver clean out sale!! DM for dims and $$$
TBT times down south. @capt.cristian_catian laying into one!
6’4” Twin Pin + 2 for @huntdriley in tie-dye and tan finished off with a nice white pinline. This one’s a looker!
We may be in the doldrums of summer but that also means winter is just around the corner. 7’2” Buddha Step for @ollie_baba13
I set my sights on honing in a proper hi performance shortboard model about a year ago, and am grateful to have customers that trust me to try different tweaks here and there to help get the design where I want it to be. Pictured is the latest iterat
6’8” and 7’4” Buddha Steps for @leoferrara1 . 6’8” with a three fin setup, to be ridden as a thruster or twin plus trailer, and the 7’4” and a strict quad. The 7’4” was given some extra flip
Ripper and real estate mogul @pepsikolachaaa put in an order not too long ago with the following guidelines: flat, wide, would when it’s fat but also when the surf turns on, and 5’10”. The rest was up to me. I started with a rocker
5’8” Quad Channel Twin + 2 for @fredw_9 . This design came about from a personal need for something in the quiver to cover the small stuff and the larger stuff, cutting out an extra board in the bag. I really like the twin pin design tha
6’4” Six Channel Buddha for one of the longest standing team riders and OG Buddha test pilot, @derek_daigneault . First Buddha under his feet was made 12 years ago! Big thanks for trusting me from so early on and for so many years.
Winter may be over but it’s never too early to start preparing for next season. 9’0” x 21 3/4” x 3 3/8” Buddha Gun. “Peach Fuzz” was this year’s Pantone Color of the Year, so I decided to try it on a bo
