holidays

the holidays came and went so quick
what is it with taking ages to come and what feels like hours to go
maybe its because we have so long to wait we all plan to much then dont have the time nor energy to jam it all in. my holidays where good not great but still good. i surfed not as much as i liked, i planned on shaping a new board but i didnt. what i did do is work and i had fun working i actually dont mind it and it mean ill have a car when im 18 so im happy with that.

i got buried in dings these holidays normally i had doing my own dings but i accepted these ding repairs because i wanted to look and dribble over the boards more then anything.

2 x taj, de souza, cj hobgood and sally fits

i hurt the first shortboard i every shaped myself quite badly one evening at 13th beach beyond repair so these next few shots are a tribute to its life that was taken to soon

                                                                             RIP #3

first glass ons i did they are truly annoying to do but well worth it in the end i went all out and put carbon round the base and on the board to see what would happen. made it heaps stiffer and the tip flex more. worked well but doesnt look that great

this artwork was done by a mate from torquay all done with posca pens best artwork i have ever seen with them by far. i let him go wild and i was blown away with this when i saw it



got a new board to ride as well from Torquay surf/Base
its a Simon actually shaped by the big man himself
a new board yet to be released a tweeked up model that already exists in his range
its 5'11'' x 18 3/4'' x 2 5/16''
