5'10'' Gemini

I've been shaping surfboards for over thirty years, but I like to call what I do 'rideable art'.

With Mikey back in the water, I felt it was time he got on the real deal so I made him this 5'10'' Gemini. I was going to do a Captain America spray, but figured the Spiderman motif looks way cooler!

I started making the Gemini in the early 90's. The surfing world wasn't ready for it then, is it now? I've gotten so much flack over this board from people 'in the know', who have never even seen it ridden, much less tried it themselves!

In the past few years, there are all these copy-cat shapers out there who think they are original and special, making knock-off shapes clearly based on the Gemini.

Do I care? Not really. I know the Gemini is still the best board on the planet.
