New Miller Parabolic Quad!!



6-4 Miller Quad

Sharing some new board stoke!! Now I just need to get it in the water!! Josh is AWESOME to work with...he spend a ton of time with me discussing design, measuring and drawing out the blank, and then re-drawing when I wasn't sure about something. Plus, he's on fire for Christ!! Check him out at www.millershapes.com !!

Secret R & D of the BKQ2 Resin-X


This is Top Secret R & D photos being smuggled out of the Hynson/Mattison Lab and testing grounds for the prototype Black Knight Quad 2 - Resin-X!! As you can see, Super Test Pilot, Sean Mattison is putting the BKQ2 through it's paces. Though info is scarce and some spies may have been lost in retrieving this info....the initial results look good! Stay tuned....

The Dr. is IN!

So....my 13 year old son was looking over my blog for the first time and liked the whole Dr. Suess concept, but then gave me a funny look on my author name...Dr. Swells. When I thought of the name, I was thinking swells...as in GroundSWELL; not swells, and in your stick (the other one) swells! I decided he might have a point and I don't want to attract the wrong attention. Thusly, you will see my future posts ending with....Dr. Surfs. It's still Suess-ian and much more direct!

BKQ - First Session!

It's no surprise....THIS BOARD ROCKS and honestly, I didn't even get to really push it that hard.

It was 2-3ft waist to chest for about an hour and then it dropped like a rock with the offshores and outgoing tide to 1-2ft. The BKQ is everything you guys said it would be and the answer to everything I've been looking for in a board! I was catching waves sooooo easily, better than my fish that's a solid 3 inches thick! I love the rails, they react like a Ferrari on a test track! And that tail just whips around like it's on auto-pilot; sure glad I put the tailpad on there.

Sean, you and Hynson have designed the perfect fish...heck, the perfect board! You can count me in for the BKQ II already!
