High school would have been WAY easier if we could have done this there, too.

Sammy's Kevlar Puerto Beast
Sammy's Kevlar Puerto Beast
Sammy made this board from scratch, using one of our raw blanks which is an undertaking in itself. The entire board is glassed with Kevlar using epoxy which means you can't hit it with the sander - if you do it's ruined. You pretty much only get one chance to nail it but luckily Sammy is a ninja. He made the fins himself, too. If you are in Puerto and see this board this summer say hi to Sammy, he'll be stoked!

Stocking up for summer, another egg is that much closer to the showroom floor.

Where the magic happens

Where every FCD boards starts it's life, the foam shop, late afternoon. Judging by the work being done there must have been a swell, just the way it oughta be.

The glass shop post paint job. Some of you may remember the pink walls from previous shots, that was actually a color used in insane asylums to keep patients calm. I have no idea why anyone thought that would be necessary. Stru and Robin bring a few freshies to life, sick style with the silver suit Stru!

More tools of the trade
More tools of the trade
What Fletch is hanging up measures to check if there's any twist in the blank before it gets glassed. There are 2 more in the glass shop that measure the same thing, and everyday each curing rack in the oven is checked to make sure it's level. Something tells me you won't find that in the Cobra factory....

Parmenter always said, "what goes into your lungs doesn't come out, wear your mask". Hard to believe people used to shape, glass, and sand with a Marlboro for lung protection.

Tools of the trade
Calipers, rulers, saw, and a sharpie are just some of the tools used in the machining room. Don't let this fool you though, what isn't shown is the attention to detail required to keep from destroying blanks and sending the cutter into the clamp heads.
