Down Home in the Old North State

Below are two pictures of my 6'4" quad, shaped by my friend, Will Allison. It's based on a 6'4" Dog Town inspired board he shaped back in 2006 for my buddy, Biz, but has been tweaked a little with new flavors. This is probably my favorite part of the shaping process because you can really see cleanliness of the lines and the elegance of the foam reflected in the shadows created by the interplay of light. I'm calling the board the "Down Home Flyer." It includes a phrase from the North Carolina State Toast as an homage to craftsmanship and all things still made in the USA, or better yet, North Carolina. In a few weeks it should be ready, just in time for hurricane season.
