Well… Rich Landerer (Rickland Surfboards) and Rich Wisz (Wisz Surfboards) for their recognition in the Surfline tribute to Shaper’s Alley in Costa Mesa-Newport Beach.

Check out the article ( http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/shapers-alley-costa-mesa-newport-beach_63033/ ) where both are wearing t-shirts that we were responsible for printing! Rickland is featured on Slide/Page 12 and Wisz is featured on Slide/Page 20.

We were also responsible for both of their current websites, links above, and continue to work with both of these great surfboard shapers!

Special thanks to Pureglass for introducing us to these great shapers.

Every now and then we get an odd request… ok more often than not we get an odd request, but we try to rise to the occassion and do something unique.

Pureglass in Costa Mesa, CA is a surfboard manufacturing and supply company that basically puts the fiberglass / fins / finishing touches on all the borads from many very good surfboard shapers in the southern california area. They work with shapers such as Dano, JC, Rickland, Wallin and others…

The project called for a full wrap on 3 surfboards to be used as a display piece in a fraternity at a major college in Los Angeles (2 guesses on this one), namely Alpha Kai.

Because of the shape of the boards, the job is not a simple wrap, the fins were glassed directly to the boards causing even more grief.

With a mulit-piece collection and minimal seaming, we completed the job… exhausted and underpaid… but satisfactorily and the client was stoked! (Their words).

Here are some pics of the process:

In an effort to give my brain a rest from time to time I will be making a better attempt at updating this thing. If there is anything anyone would like to hear about, comment on, or ask questions about let me know and I will try to fill it up in here.

Thanks for reading.

A recent article on Yahoo* gives a great reason why you should have your printing work done by a professional:

2. Formal Printing Jobs

Another thing that sounds cheaper than it is: printing invitations, posters and other print jobs at home. What you’re not considering, though, is the cost of ink. “Major manufacturers often break even or lose money on printers, but they more than make up for it with ink cartridges priced more dearly than caviar,” says Forgach.

A good exercise, if you’re not convinced, is to calculate the cost per page. “Consult the printer manual to determine a base rate of pages per cartridge, divide this rate by the cost of each cartridge [and] add in the cost of paper, test runs and errors,” says Forgach. Don’t forget time and frustration, either, she adds.

There are other reasons, mostly professionality, but printing can make or break a business marketing plan.

If you have any questions regarding this we are happy to help!
