Mystic Surfboards--Jim Dunlop, Shaper. Jacksonville Beach, Florida

taylor kennedy’s 5’6 twinzer fish & 6’1 shortboard, kevin cann’s 6’4 dbl. wing pintail single fin, blythe laing’s 7’0 performance funshape, taylor kennedy’s 9’2 noserider

here’s a rarity…a stock board ( i never do stocks for my factory)..start with a CLARK blank (8’10 S blue)…go for a classic velzy pig planshape..full resin tint/pinlines..

a pretty package and a piece of history

more poly’s from the last batch…these got the full meal deal..resin tint, pinlines, gloss & polish…

8’6 mystic stock pintail pig, 8’6 glassed for roger wood, 9’6 for sid earley

polyesters for the end of april…jimmy burns’ 5’1 “donut killer”, barry nicol’s 5’11 tri for nicaragua, clay newton’s 7’0 5-fin for good surf here, jamie border’s 9’0 LB

an update on the 5’8 i shaped a month or so ago..loaned it to jamie borders, who rode it as a twin fin (w/ futures “elevons”)…took a couple of sessions to dial, but the verdict was “super fun board”

i got it back, installed FCS plugs in the standard thruster position and took it out…went insane from the first wave, and it was only waist high..can’t wait for a good head high day.  the low rocker & the area in the nose all help in paddling, while the straight outline gives it a ton of drive for such a short board..a lot of fun in a small package….

brandon blackmon’s new one has similar characteristics in the rocker and basic outline (with a few cosmetic changes)…should be a blast !

EPS/epoxies from last week…5’10 5-fin bat-tail for brandon blackmon, 6’6 thruster for donny henriksen, 7’0 bat-tail quad for perry penland

polyester customs…..5’10 diamond tail RNF 5-fin for sha khatibi,   5’8 quad rocket fish for blake cowan,   6’0 thumbtail 5-fin for carl schifanella,  8’6 LB for jeremy chaplin

another updated outline for this year..using a diamond tail on the basic round nosed fish planshape…shortens the rail line for tighter arcs and offers a bit more projection with the added planing surface from filling in the area where the swallow tail was.

customs from last week..5’4″ dumpster diver for danny cook, 5’10″ performance SB for todd nussbaum, 6’1″ performance SB for chris daniel…..todd’s and chris’s  are classic old school skinny outlines from ’05 …in good surf, these never go out of style..

3 stock funshapes for sunrise…6’6, 7’6, and 8’0

epoxies that were done over the weekend…chris rawlins’ 5’7 dumpster diver, matt sanor’s 5’11 performance shortboard, jimmy valva’s 6’0 performance shortboard.   all built to last and incredilbly light
