Preserving and Enhancing the Enjoyment of Wave Riding Ice-Nine's focus is on the tool and, better still, its core - the foam. To move it forward, we've looked hard over our shoulder. We've taken best of what our history has shown us - there is no ride like a polyurethane ride - and stoked it with a breath of fresh air to create CANE, ABLE and MOWSES.
PURE GLASS DISTRIBUTES PURE WHITE ICE-9 BLANKS Top notch Orange County production shop calls for top-notch foam ORANGE COUNTY, CA-Costa Mesa's one-stop shop for board-builders just got stoked and stocked with blanks from innovative foam company, Ice-Nine Foam Works. For shapers and customers looking for help with complete board fabrication, Pure Glass provides Ice-Nine's TDI "Mowses" blanks in addition to a full range of production services for those who would like to produce high-quality boards under their own brand. The decision to stock Ice-Nine blanks made perfect sense to Pure Glass owner, Jim Chalupnik. "Many of the local shapers have been putting Ice-Nine boards through our shop, and the guys around here are stoked on the foam," says Chalupnik, who also commented on how light-weight the finished boards are turning out. "It's easy to shape and finishes out great. Some of our biggest customers are pretty dedicated to it already," he adds. Though Pure Glass is a wholesale shop for many shapers who can use the facility for all of their shaping, glassing and color needs, the shop also boasts a number of in-house shapers such as Dano, Cordell, Wave Tools, JC Hawaii, G-force, McKinnon and Rich Wisz. "I really like the way it shapes out," says Rocky McKinnon, of McKinnon Shapes and Designs. "It's easy to work with and fine sands with ease, which is really important for both hand and machine shapers," he adds. Pure Glass is now carrying Ice-Nine's Mowses formula in a full range of shapes with their standard basswood stringers. Redwood, cedar, plywood, balsa, custom rockers, T-bands, high density foam T-bands, multiple stringers, colored glue, etc. is available upon request with quick turnaround. The catalog includes a comprehensive line of innovative shapes, from high-performance shortboards to longboards and guns, and just recently, the addition of the Walker longboard molds. Mowses is the new TDI formula that was created while collaborating with foam icon, Harold Walker. The resulting foam is not only ultralight and white but is also extremely easy to plane and sand. Its tight cells translate to greater liveliness, superior dent resistance and longer life in the water than other TDI foams. The main focus at Pure Glass is to provide its customers with all the means to manufacture surfboards. "We provide our customers with everything they need to get in the water," says Chalupnik. Services include everything from production shaping to polyester and epoxy glassing to color glasswork. With the focus on volume production capabilities, Pure Glass says they will turnaround glasswork within two weeks, regardless of the volume of the shaper. They also carry a full range of surfboard hard goods such as resin, fiberglass cloth, traction pads, leashes, fins and board bags.

REIGNING CHAMP, RICKY CARROLL, TAKES FIRST PLACE AGAIN Florida shaper shows the west coast how it's done
The Shape of Shaping to Come We want to make sure that the craft of custom shaping gets passed to the next generation of design innovators. Problem is that shapers and their understudies were usually discouraged about having to pay full price for as practice board. To encourage our master shapers to give their time and expertise in the shaping bay to aspiring young artisans, we've eliminated this barrier with the ICE-NINE APPRENTICE PROGRAM. Ice-Nine donates rejected and experimental blanks to registered master-apprentice teams. More details about Ice-Nine Apprentice Partnership Program are available here.
