10th Annual O'neill Skimbash in Santa Cruz Skimbash

It was this last weekend. Let me know if you made it and what happened!

Ever seen fins on a skimboard? There might be a couple of boards out there on the market with fins so what the F%&#k why not. More stability and maneuverability. I thinks it's pretty DOPE. I'm not going to put removable fins. They will be intergrated into the board, should be pretty sick. Look out for them this winter. Only for the bravehearts, the wave riders, and the addicts.

Chicano Park In San Diego

Going down to San Diego anytime soon? You will not want to miss Chicano Park.

http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/

Chicano Park houses the largest collection of Chicano murals anywhere in the world. The value of such a body of work has been notoriously overlooked and down-played for decades. The pillars in Chicano Park are not merely concrete and steel supports for a bridge, but diligently executed works completed by numerous artists over a period of nearly three decades. The murals combine with the surrounding land to form a powerful art pieced that communicates not only ancestral history, but the long and often turbulent history of Chicano Park itself.

La Virgen De Guadalupe

The New 50" Epoxy - Styrene Foam Core - Flat Land Board. Perfect for Shuvits with the symetrical shape.

Our Lady of Guadalupe (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe) is a celebrated 16th-century icon of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ. The image, also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe (Spanish: Virgen de Guadalupe) represents a famous Marian apparition. According to the traditional account, the image appeared miraculously on the front of a simple peasant's cloak. The image still exists; it is on display in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. It is perhaps Mexico's most popular religious and cultural image, and the focus of an extensive pilgrimage. The feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is December 12. She is said to have appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City between December 9 and December 12, 1531.

dia De Los Muertos

This is the Latest board in my collection. The Dia De Los Muertos board. A 50" epoxy board.

Two New 50" boards on the beach in El Granada in Norte Califas. The Green board was a test board for all of my screenprinted logos. Was orginally going to be a Saint Philip Neri board but decided to keep it for my self to ride. The orange stripe board is my signature Robot Board. This is the first board the robot logo was introduced on. I made this board for a customers son, but the son was about as tall as the board. I had to make another board 10" shorter and they gave me this one back.

San Francisco Ocean Beach 1987

And Here We Go!

Red Five Skimboards started in the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area in 1987. Spawn on Ocean Beach in San Francisco the first R5 board was given birth. Originally called “Blaster” for it’s speed and ability to blast the coastline. Blaster was made from a multiply hardwood, shaped to perfection, art work applied and coated in urathane. These early beginnings gave rise to the inspiration, creativity, and urban assult that would soon become Red Five Skimboards. After years of travel and development R5 found it’s home in the East Bay of Northern California. Close to all of the major Bay Area coastlines be sure to look for us shredding the breaks

We manufacture fiberglass and multiply hardwood skimboards. our fiberglass boards are eco friendly utilizing a styrene blank with and epoxy resiin that does not include formaldehyde or phenol and is cycloaliphatic based offering better chemical resistance and improved weatherability. We also use water based medium for all of our artwork and airbrush effects. Let us know what you think by sending us an email or just buy a board and get wet!
