We just did a new extra-loggy noserider for Cyrus’ upcoming Mexico trip. Griffin and Cyrus chatted board design a few weeks ago, to come up with something for Mexican point breaks. Made some refinements to the rocker, the rail line and added some overall volume to make this a glide-machine and a proper noserider. Anxious for Cy to get this guy in some suitable surf.

Griffin is about to do hand-shape #3,000 of his career. His serial numbering started with #1001, so if you happen to run across #4000, you’ve stumbled upon hand-shape 3k by Mr. Griffin Neumann-Kyle. Coincidently, if you subtract 1,000 from the serial number on your Almond Surfboard, you can figure out, sequentially, which number board you are currently holding. Photos: Oden

More new t-shirts are coming in… the logo from our store window has continued to be a favorite, so we’re going to be offering it in two new colors. Here are the grey ones, hot off the press and available in-store and online now.

We lent a few surfboards to our friends at Apolis for a video and photo-shoot to unveil their new surf trunks, exclusive for J.Crew. Nicely done video… big props to The Brothers Parton for paddling out in trunks this time of year. Warmer days ahead…!

Each time an Almond Surfboard gets ordered, Griffin reaches into his collection of templates and makes his first of many passes down the length of the board with a #2 pencil. Photo: Oden

New Almond Logo // Recently Refined by Cam Oden
We made some slight updates to our logo, for 2013, as you may have noticed. Cameron Oden has been getting better and better at design-related projects. He bravely tackled the task of updating our beloved board lam logo. Maintaining the shape was the biggest thing for me, since it’s recognizable from a distance. With that shape as his canvas, Cam got to work refining a logo that I had done back in 2007 (with very limited design skills). We’re thrilled to unveil the new Almond logo… the first batch of surfboards with this lam are going through The Waterman’s Guild this week.
