§ 01Shape story

JML — Jeff McCallum Log. A traditional single-fin log built for the long walk forward, with a flat-rocker centre, rolled belly through the nose, and 50/50 rails that hold a line through trim. Available hand-shaped from the bay, or as the bay's only Mexico-made tier piece for buyers who want the shape without the California price.

Settles into the wave. Pivots from the back foot, glides from the nose. The board you ride when you stop counting and start trimming.

Glassy waist-to-shoulder peelers. Pointbreaks, soft reefs.

§ 04Construction

Every tier uses the same outline files. The price difference is the hand on the foam, not the geometry.

Hand-shaped

×1.00 base

Signed by Jeff

Foam to gloss in the McCallum bay.

Foam blank, hand-tools, no machine. Shaped, glassed, sanded and signed under the same roof. The most expensive way to make a board, and — for some shapes — the only way they actually feel right.

Lead time
10–14 wks
For
Surfers who want the original, with all the marks the hand leaves behind.

Slightly less consistent dimension to dimension than CNC. That is the point.

Computer-cut

×0.78 base

Stamped, not signed

CNC-roughed in the McCallum file, finished by hand.

The blank is rough-cut by a CNC machine from a McCallum scan, then finished, glassed and detailed by the bay. Lower cost, near-perfect dimensions, hand finish on the rails and tail.

Lead time
6–9 wks
For
Surfers who want McCallum geometry without the hand-shaping premium.

Reads cleaner than a hand-shape. Same outline, slightly different soul.

Ghost-shaped

×0.62 base

Marked, not signed

McCallum outline, anonymous shaper.

A McCallum shape, machined or hand-finished by a vetted shaper outside the bay. Same files, different hand. We mark it as ghost-shaped because pretending otherwise would be a lie.

Lead time
4–6 wks
For
Surfers who want the shape, accept the trade, and value transparency.

Quality is rigorously controlled. Provenance is not the same.

Mexico-made

×0.48 base

Labelled Tijuana

Same blueprints, Tijuana production.

The most accessible tier. The blueprints come from McCallum; the build happens in a partner factory in Tijuana. Different hands, different bay, same outline. Labelled clearly so the buyer knows.

Lead time
3–5 wks
For
Surfers who want a McCallum-designed board at the lowest honest price.

Not built in California. We say so on the label and on the receipt.

§ 05Common questions
Why is one option greyed out?
Because that combination doesn't exist as a McCallum shape. Hover the option to see why — usually it's a fin setup that doesn't match the tail, or a tier that the model isn't built in.
Can I save my configuration?
Yes — every configuration has its own URL. Save the link, share it with a friend, or email it to the bay. We can pick it up from there.
Is the price final?
It is an estimate. The total locks when the bay confirms feasibility — usually within 48h of submission. You only pay once it's locked.
