For those of you who don't know Mollusk is a surf shop in San Francisco (and Brooklyn, NY and Venice, CA) that tends to stock the more unusual style of surfboards. They have art boards, mini-single fins, retro everything etc. It's a hipster shop in a hipster town and although I dig the boards that they have, I only buy off thier used rack.
So now I check the web and see they're stocking Pendoflex kneeboards! New! and not just one but two of them!
Hey AM, what was the fin setup on those boards,I know Pendo's partial to pulled in fish templates with twin high aspect fins? Cappy, you should be able to contact Pendo through the Greenroom in OB. Pendo actually shaped a kneeboard for Rich Pavel back when Rich was in Jr High.
just visited the Mollusk website and saw those Pendo's...sweet!!!
I've never seen the site before...what a great lineup of shapers and boards. Pavels, Mandalas, Mabiles and a bunch of others. You guys in SF are a lucky bunch.

Kid, I think it has to due with the flex you get from the deck being soft. Rich mentions something about it in one of those interviews on the net somewhere. Cappy, I think Grayman is only half right it IS a gift BUT it's still gonna cost ya.
Yeah, I agree...that Manny is one saweet shape. I guess he's getting into Pavel / Lis status...getting a board from him is kinda like pulling teeth. I got shut down last year after inquiring...wouldn't even take a deposit.
I guess my reputation precedes me
Hey Cappy,
I guess it's better to hear sitars in the background...last few shapers I talked to, I could've sworn I heard "Dueling Banjos" playing somewhere.
