At Fairmans in West Chester tonight for First Friday

first off, i have been slacking on the postings once again...my bad. i have been taking some pics but i havent had any time to update.

anywho, we will be at Fairman's in the Dub-C tonight from 6pm to 9pm. stop in to check out a new board, talk surf / design, or just say hello.

if you havent read any of alan weisbeckers books i cant recommend them strongly enough. i always say that one day i'm going to disappear into central america and sleep in hammock and surf all day but who knows if i will actually have the courage to follow through

sorry about the lousy pics. i have been wrestling with my photo host for 30 mins and i'm going to throw my laptop out the window. will try to fix later when i have a cooler head

finless project

inspired by a video i saw of derek hynd doing 360's spins on the face of wave and it looked like so much fun... i have no idea if this will work or not but it was fun to shape (but probably not fun to glass) and hopefully even more fun to ride.  will letcha know
