Recent Designs for Harbour Surfboards

Here are a couple t-shirts I designed for Harbour Surfboards in the past few months.

This one has been out for about a month now. Its an original ad from Surfer magazine in 1964. I just added color and tweaked it a little to make this groovy ad turn into a nostalgic shirt. Its available in store and at harboursurfshop.com for $23.95.
This design was hand drawn for last year's annual Harbour Surf Day held in November at Bolsa Chica. I was inspired by a photo I saw in the Harbour Chronicles Book of a VW bus and some Harbour team riders at Cautros Casas c.1960s. There was only a limited run of shirts for the event.

#12 and The Tray

I found a little spare time between school and work so I got to make a couple more handplanes. The diamond tail went to a friend of a friend. He used to own a Hand Gun back in the day and when he heard I was making handplanes he had to get one. Thanks for the support!

I am calling the one on the right "The Tray" because it is modeled after a fast food tray. It has a flat bottom, no concaves whatsoever, just a slight entry rocker and thats it. Its designed maximize planing surface for those smaller mushy days. I am excited to try it out. I mounted a Go Pro mount on it too so check back for some video clips and a review on how it works.
