Shooter and The Bastard Fish

Shooter and The Bastard Fish
The Deus Emporium is proud to present two new boards that are now available for sale in the Venice, California retail flagship: The Shooter and The Bastard Fish by Forrest Minchinton Custom Boards, handmade in California. THE SHOOTER Black 6'8 single fin A 70's design from a tried-and-true template from Mike Minchinton (Forrest's dad) brought back to life with modern rails, foil, rocker and functionality made with good waves in mind. A fun ride on even an average day, this board will excel in hollow waves. The sleek black opaque resin is finished off with a super fine gloss and polish and a custom one-off wooden tail block and matching fin to contrast the pitch-black design. THE BASTARD FISH Cream 5'5 twin fin This model was coined "Bastard Fish" after a recent trip to Deus Indonesia with Harrison Roach, Zye Norris, and Lewie Buddons. With a nose template inspired by legendary shaper Rich Pavel, and a tail modeled after a high performance fish of my own and the rails, foil and bottom contours focused on going very fast. The board worked so amazingly that everyone tried to claim it as their own, excelling in everything from small waves to serious barrels. This particular board features 3 apple core stringers which end at the swallow tail tips and one at the nose for strength and durability. A subtle cream tint and glass on single foil, poppler wood, performance keel twin fins. Available at: Deus Ex Machina 1001 Venice Blvd Venice CA 90291 9am - 7pm

On the edge of Harajuku, a bold new sign has risen - The Residence of Impermanence - in Harajuku, Tokyo, is back. Art, surfboards, motorcycles, apparel, café, music - a place where all kinds of enthusiasms collide. Step inside to the Deus Café - a breezy open ceiling space, serving all-day breakfast and the perfect energy for every moment. We're not ones to argue with that. Climb the spiral staircase to surfboards quietly lined against a softly lit backdrop.

Shaped exclusively for the Residence by Takuya “Tappy” Yoshikawa, Tetsuya Ogawa, and Jared Mell, each board is one of a kind. Sofas once beloved at the former Harajuku store — crafted by TRUCK Furniture and Stephen Kenn — have been reupholstered and brought to life for their next chapter. They’ll take on new character with time — just like this place. We invite you to settle in and enjoy the flow.

Same name. New form. The spirit remains, just slightly rearranged. Come in, stay awhile. Find us at 2-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-Ku, BPR Square Jingumae 1-1F & 2F Tokyo.

In Benzin Veritas!
