Central Coast Exploration

Drove up Hwy 1 on the way to San Francisco for a music festival. Searched long and hard for waves with the dropping swell. Lucked into some small cold little waves somewhere north of Santa Cruz. Beautiful morning light made the cold water bearable and set the mood for the rest of the trip.

I don't get to surf with my brother that often but when I do I always have to snake him. It's my duty

Bill Travis | Shaper

This is Bill "Aku" Travis, one of my oldest friends. He has spent the last two years rehabing an injury to his hand. After five surgeries and months upon months out of the water, he is finally getting back to his old self. We intended on surfing all day together but the waves didn't turn up so we decided to get into the shaping bay and work on a couple of new boards. Bill is in the process of starting his own surfboard shaping business so look for his boards to start showing up in stores sometime next year.
