I was riding a 6'0" Local Mole surfboard square tail with V-Bottom. I made my on boots using a cotton socks and silkscreen paint. Crazy ideas at that time.

Phantom Surfer
EN: Bob Simmons is captured streaking across a solid wall in Malibu during the summer of 1949. Note his board's long wake, indicative of pure speed his signature surfboards were known for. Due to the such amazing speed the locals from Imperial beach immediately dubbed him the "Phantom Surfer"
PT: Essa é uma rara foto de Bob Simmons surfando uma sólida onda em Malibu no verão de 1949. É possível ver a sua marca registrada na foto através da velocidade que a prancha corta a onda. Devido a velocidade que syas pranchas começaram a atingir em função dos conceitos hidrodinâmicos aplicados, Simmons foi imediatamente apelidado pelos surfistas locais de "O Surfista Fantasma".

Fish - My second Planing Hull
My son Felipe enjoying his future planing hull. This is a 5'9" Fish shaped by André Coquinho from AC Surfboards. We shaped the board together including some information provide by my colleague Tyler Warren from Dana Point - CA.
Made in Styrofoam provide by Keahana, this epoxy fish includes a pair of Larry Gephart fins and a single to double concave on the bottom.
The planing hull rode well last saturday in Jeffery's, a reef 5 minutes from my house. The waves were good and it is amazing to feel how the board works in cutbacks, bottom turns and in the hollow part of the waves.
