Stuff going on

Marty and I are currently designing a board for Jordan. Right now it is a high performance fishy quad with a shallow moon tail. He wants the whole board carbon for strength and weight.
I am also starting templates for my own 5'10 diamond shortie. Similar to matt and nick's boards only with a little more forward center and a wider diamond tail to accommodate some quad fins. Going to be carbon deck patch/double s or whole carbon.

Ride report

Nick has ridden his 5'11 shortie a couple times now and has gotten back to me with some info. He says, "its really fast and responsive. It is way easier to paddle than I thought, So light!" Matt, Mark, Austin, and I have also tried it out with similar results. Really excited about where this shape is going.

About us

Risen Son Surfboards works in conjunction with No Quarter surfboards in Grand Haven, Michigan. All our surfboards are made for performance, durability, and surfability. We strive to make custom surfboards that fit the rider's style, ability, and wave characteristics. By doing this you are assured that you will have a board that will catch waves, maneuver with ease, and make you a better surfer.
We make our boards with the highest quality materials. We can shape polyurethane, eps, and xps; glass with epoxy resin, poly resin, and super high performance Resin X. Most of our boards are made with eps foam as it is lighter, whiter, and stronger than the old poly blanks. We glass these with epoxy resin and high quality "S" Glass for 30% more strength and 30% less weight. It is also better for the environment and the people that work with it because it is 100% voc/cfc compliant. You can also go stringerless for more consistant flex, no stringer dent problems, and a lighter board. Resin X is a new epoxy resin hybrid that is just as light as our standard epoxy but is much more flexible and ding resistant. Resin X is the material of choice for people demanding the highest performance in surfboards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0gypbU2PoY&feature=related
We can and have done pretty much every kind of fin and fin box so that is open. We do alot of O'fishl fin systems because they are affordable, easy to replace, and quick and easy to use. http://www.ofishl.com/
We also do alot of skimboards using alternative materials so if you want something unique we can always do that. Carbon deck patch?

We have also become well known for repairs and restorations....so if you have a board in need of repair or your old classic needs to be restored to its original glory then bring it by.
