Mike from San Clemente contacted Steve about Pendo-izing his beautiful bronze Campbell Brothers Octafish shaped by Malcom Campbell. Here are Mike and Steve with the Pendo-sized board. The deck was pounded out, so Steve repaired it and shaped in a full deck Pendoflex. This board looks like so much fun! Cowa-flexit! During our morning walk […]

Moonset moments in time
The full moon and moonsets have been beautiful and the tidal swings have been wild, even causing some flooding at the beach here in the mornings with the big swell that we had last weekend. We’re appreciating the memory of the moonset with the peaceful morning light and the shore birds soaring along the waters […]

We enjoyed our walk along the cliffs and were blessed by a rainbow on the horizon […]
