Super fun times in Nica @ Aposentillo. My kid is having so much fun surfing...














Heading to good waves? There's still nothing like the responsiveness of a high performance shortboard when conditions call for it. Pete is 6'1"/195lb and rides a 6'1" x 19 1/4" x 2 5/8" 32L Superabound, G4-71 HD, and Shalomic Intervention.



















An enviro-spiritual, socio-cultural impetus spearheaded by Mendiaβs knife-work.
Have you ever imagined a world without violence, without divisions, without greed, radioactive waste, clean water shortages or sea-level riseβ¦no racism, no oppression, or addiction, disease, disasters, despair, destructionβ¦?
We all do. Itβs one of the things that makes us human; the ability to imagine how things ought to be in the face of how things are.
As a shaper, you end up spending huge amounts of time isolated in a little room with plenty of additional hours to contemplate stuff like this.
It was one such day during a 4:30 a.m. extra early shaping session, when I had the factory to myself, that a thought from the night before entered the equation. My wife and I had been watching a movie together when she recognized one of the actresses, and said, βHey, thatβs that supermodel Shalom.β
For some reason that name, that word, stuck with me. I had heard it before, but was never really sure what to do with it. This began a word study that eventuated a thought process. It turns out the word βshalomβ is an ancient word thatβs been around for millennia and reflects a heart desire and longing for a world at peace. But it goes even further than what English translations provide in the definition of the word peace. Peace it turns out is not perfection, but represents a world without conflict.
Whereas shalom represents a world where all things are operating in perfect harmony; purely a positive, beyond a double negative; the world as our hearts and minds yearn for it to be. WOW!
Β
It made me think that if we can recognize what detracts from peace, we have the ability to choose the opposite of those negative things that seem to so easily draw us in. It made me think of the decisions we make every day.
Whether we put ourselves first and demand outcomes a certain way; sometimes even by trying to put down others to get ourselves aheadβ¦and our actions towards other peopleβ¦do we desire to see the best brought out in others? Or do we try to keep people down by the use of our actions and our words? Some say the fittest survive, kill or be killedβ¦but where does that leave us as a whole in the end?
I think we have two choices all the time at any given timeβ¦to be a fragrance of life that builds others up or a force for destruction that tears others down. Itβs as if everyone throughout all history is connected; is a part of an immense instrumentβ¦each of us a string that echoes a certain reverberation with each thought and action we pursue. Those reverberations echo out and ripple into an epic symphony; a melody with an effect towards peace, towards salaam, towards shalom; or they effect the noise of dissonance leading towards chaosβ¦and everyone effects the tune that plays as a whole. Itβs my belief that our actions, whether thought, speech or deed even effect this earth we live on and call home.
We effect it. And when itβs hurting, it groans. We are definitely seeing the effects of earthβs groaning. And many of the effects from our own actions directly impact our tribe. So when they try to make nasty negative, mean depressed and cruel look cool – try being kind, grateful, hope-filled and inspiring instead; and see how much better it makes you feel.
Β
and about the board β¦ it is for waves that we imagine in our mind; perfect waves; waves as we desire to be. And that needs no explanation, as surfers we know what that looks like. You can watch the inspiring surfing of Peter Mendia in the video for the kind of waves itβs meant for. Itβs a board that just kind of emerged during a long day at work when an ancient word busted into my world and forced my brain down a path in pursuit of true harmony, an at peace-ness with each other and the world we inhabit. This board is a latest attempt at a tune that wants to find that perfect balance of design elements that works to bring a note of shalom echoing into the future. Itβs a high performance shortboard / slight step-up design featuring increased bend in the rocker through the center of the board with a straighter rail line through the tail and a super deep accelerated single concave that runs the deepest through the fins, making for a board that will surf with power in the pocket, keeping water off the deck in fully committed carves.

Frontline Report >> from the hurricane:
Mr. Mendia with a big-bucket-wrap-to-tail-tweak-sizzle-sear. @petemendia opted for his 6β2β x 19 1/4β x 2 5/8β #Shalomicintervention roundtail. Which got me to thinking about that board model and the metaphysical / spiritual peace quest that inspired its namesake. During these times we sure could use some shalomic intervention.

The Shalomic Intervention – this is a high performance shortboard / slight step-up design featuring increased bend in the rocker through the center of the board with a straighter rail line through the tail and a super deep accelerated single concave that runs the deepest through the fins, making for a board that will surf with power in the pocket, keeping water off the deck in fully committed carves. This type of board is more surgical and perfect for waves like Indo-style cylinders or Central American beachbreaks. Ridden the same length as your normal high performance shortboard or at the most an inch longer with added foam/dome in the deck for increased paddle-ability to stroke in early but with a low-volume knifey rail to keep it extra responsive in perfect waves.
