    Check out this new "HOBBIT" model Phil Taylor surfboard! Board is shaped, designed and glassed by Phil himself. A phenomenal guy for those who don't know him and an excellent shaper from Fruitland, MD just outside OC. Saw this board and I think its unreal! Dimensions are 6'9 x 22 x 2.75. Fin setup is 1+4 making it very versatile. Slightly spooned out nose to double concave with rolled to very hard rails. Has the Tak Halo fin on it in the photos. Pretty sweet!


    Cool mini noseriding finboard design! What do you think?

    Looks pretty cool. Wishing I had something like that for the days that the forecast is way off.. (IE. waist+ but in actuality is knee to waist cr#ap.)

    If it rides like my Phil Taylor board, you are going to love it. My 6'8" Zero has been the go to board in all conditions. I like it so much, I recommend him to all my friends.

    Awesome I hope you enjoy. Sorry about the website, this thing is growing at a rapid rate for us since going public a little over a year ago so there are a lot of projects underway at the moment and a website is one of them. Thank you for your interest rcarter.

    That's awesome. I look forward to building you one. We have been getting picked up by a lot of shops and I will be down your way in the spring to deliver to a few shops and maybe we can go for a surf as well.

    That's the stoke I look for so I would love to put my boards in his shop. I am building boards to stock a bunch of shops for spring 2014 while fulfilling custom orders as well. We will have to talk more in detail about what your buddy is looking for and I will make sure he gets it.
