Sevin gets his own SUP board!
August 17th, 2010
We’re not sure if this is a first but it probably is the coolest! Our intrepid wonderdog Sevin just got his own custom SUP wave board courtesy of ArcLight Woods of Maui.
The 11 foot wonder was created by shaper Ryan Quigless of ArcLight Woods in Kihei and then painted by Ray Masters. Extra thickness was added to the front with a wider plane shape for our water dog while special attention was paid to the rails and bottom to allow the riders to plane and carve it up with the best of them.
It runs a 1 plus 4 fin set-up to add to it’s versatility in all conditions. The board measures in at 11 foot by 30 inches with a maximum thickness of 5 inches. It’s constructed with an EPS foam core, epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth double 6 top and bottom. It has a lovely balsa stringer and tail block to add to the strength and looks. To finish it off Ryan created a beautiful Koa wood main fin.
The art was hand painted onto the coated foam core prior to glassing and features a huge image of Sevin in Ray’s inimitable style. Right now it has a stick on thin pad system similar to those found on Skate boards and some surf boards however Ray is searching for a see through soft pad with more thickness to allow Sevin to grip the board in the waves.
When the pads are fitted Ray and Sevin will be heading out to the South Shore to take in the last of the summer swells before heading back home for the start of the winter North Shore surf season. Stay tuned for more action photos and videos!

May 6th, 2010Check out these great shots taken by our friend Mark Moquin of Bamboo Productions
The timing was perfect as Mark and Cessna pilot, Big Mike, flew over Sevin and me as we just took off on a small wave.
This week we are having our very own custom SUP board glassed. It should be ready by the first of next week for us to go hit some waves. Just wait till you see the paint job on this puppy! We’ll be posting some photos and a story on the awesome custom board specially shaped for dog and man by Ryan Quigless of Arclight Woods in Kehei.
