Blind Dog Surfboards

Our Promise To You

My Environmental Promise: I use Forest Stewardship Council certified woods or woods salvaged from downed trees. All boards are glassed with epoxy resin which is cleaner for our environment and emits 50-75% less Volatile Organic Compounds than polyester resin. In my shop I have moderate ventilation and no need for a mask when glassing. Epoxy is lighter and stronger than polyester. My wood boards are nearly indestructible and should last a lifetime. Each board is quality crafted for strength, durability and concern for our environment.

My Satisfaction Promise: Ride your board for 30 days. If you don't like it, return it.

3. Stick that leg into the wetsuit.

4. Repeat with your other foot.

5. Do the same with your arms.

6. Wrap the Surf Jimmy back together again using the elastic strap.

2018 Los Angeles International Auto Show

This past Summer, Volvo Cars (US) commissioned a short (6' 7") board for this auto show. They wanted to stage it with a very unique pair of snow (powder) skis, Magnum Opus. The top surface is a very stunning wood veneer and Volvo wanted the board to match the ski wood color. Friend and fellow surfboard builder, Tom Allen/Tradition Surfboards, handled the tint job on my board.
