    I just have to take the time to post these works of art that Phil created for me. Lots of calls and texts back and forth to get these done, but they are of awesome quality and more than I could have asked for. I highly recommend Phil, and the whole process of getting customs surfboards made. I'll also note that the first wave I caught on the yellow board was AWESOME today. over head and held great. I took the camera out a little bit too and got a shot or two with it. The picture with 4 boards is Sandbar18's two boards that Phil also made. The only negative with the whole process is not Phils fault, but rather the foam supplier's fault. It took forever for him to get the foam, which left me with only a bit more than a week to try and get these boards wet before I head to Puerto Rico. But well worth the wait and it feels like xmas came early. Phil has some better pics up on his FB page.

    Gotta ask... did you pick the fins just to match the yellow board? He does make some pretty boards though...

    No resin work. Airbrush. And the yellow is florescent yellow with a touch of glow in the dark. Thanks for the compliment.

    I love the Yellow. I want a 6'10" version of that!
    What do they run, if you don't mind me asking?

    Thank you! Ive done glow in the dark boards before, they are quite expensive in comparison to a full spary with regular acrylic paint, as glow in the dark paint comes in small bottles and you have to buy so much.. Doesnt glow as bright as you would think but they definately hold a glow. especially if you had it out surfing all day.

    be well
