Meet the All-New 6'4 R-Series Pleasant Pheasant

Written By Dave Allee - May 02 2020

Meet the All-New 6'4 R-Series Pleasant Pheasant
We are very excited to share the next addition to the R-Series line—the 6'4 Pleasant Pheasant, coming Summer 2020!

The Pleasant Pheasant is ideally suited for surfers who want the added foam of a midlength, but still want the ability to explore the face of the wave. It's one of our most beloved models, and perfect fit to build in the R-Series construction.

In terms of length and volume, the 6'4 Pleasant Pheasant (Plez Phez for short) splits the difference between the 5'4 MENU and the 8'0 JOY.

The latest addition to the R-Series line features a SINGLE FIN BOX and Futures side-bite boxes. We are looking to have the first round of R-Series Plez Phez boards in pre-order customers' hands in June.

Onshore Winds with Andy Nieblas

Onshore Winds with Andy Nieblas

When the winds blow out of the West and put a bunch of texture on the water, conventional wisdom says to head home or head to the local coffee shop. Andy Nieblas reminds us that with the right attitude, there are still plenty of good waves to be had—even when it's blowing onshore. #twofeetandfiring

Fall // Winter 2013

Written By Dave Allee - October 22 2013

We don't get piles of colored leaves, but Fall here in California is still pretty special, for a lot of reasons. 

Our Fall/Winter collection of California-made apparel is online (and in-store) INCLUDING... our classic Panel and Heritage striped tees that just arrived.

COMPASSING by Cyrus Sutton

Written By Dave Allee - September 05 2013

Almond Surfboard rider and dear friend, Cyrus Sutton, has been premiering Compassing around recently, but don’t fret… if you didn’t catch one of the premier nights, today is your lucky day.  The full-length film is available for viewing about 2 inches south of here, on your computer screen.  We built a new green log for Cy right before he started filming for this film.. which you can see in the first few scenes.  (In some ridiculously long right-hand noserides, I might add)  Cy expands a bit on his tendency to travel and seek out new adventure, and shows how diverse and developed his surfing is, for those who may only know him as a “longboarder”.  This isn’t a “put on in the background” surf flick, this is a “pull up a chair and enjoy the next 27 minutes” piece.  Without further a due, Compassing:

FALL//WINTER preview

Written By Dave Allee - August 19 2013

SPRING//SUMMER was essentially our first real “go” at apparel; granted we had done t-shirts and dabbled in surf trunks in the past… 2013 was our first time really getting a jump on the “soft-goods” side of Almond. Much of that is due to the addition of Chad Cress to the team (who coincidentally turns 27 today) Overall, we were super pleased with how our Spring line went, and as with everything new, we learned an immeasurable amount about manufacturing and designing articles of clothing in California. (Spoiler alert: it’s a whole different world than manufacturing surfboards) With Fall & Winter fast approaching, we’re currently taking pre-book orders for our Fall collection. As with everything we produce here at Almond, we want to shift the vernacular away from “retro” and towards the word “timeless” When we’re at our best, we hope to be creating timeless essential products for all who resonate with the lifestyle/vibe/feel/values/etc of the brand we’ve created called Almond Fine Surfing Boards. Without further delay, feast your Monday-morning eyes on this video piece that Cam Oden put together as a teaser for what’s coming this FALL//WINTER. (As a side note, if you’re interested in seeing the line and placing wholesale orders, email chad @ almondsurfboards . com by Friday…!)
