Weather and waves look fairly decent for the weekend so it could be a pretty good time. I’m bringing my wife, 6’2" Bonzer Octafish and 7’2" Spence Hull. Will have our blue VW Westy with a white top. Stop by and say “Hi”. And of course, test ride the boards.
I’ll be there with a 6’2" Steve Seebold quad fish, dirty blue chey full size. Swaylocks Inspired sticker on the back window.Picking up some hitcher named Stingray or something. Claims he has a “magic board”. Pfft…
Besides, my son had a fever of 102 last night and is blowing snot all over the place. Looks like we’re hosed for this trip. I can’t tell you how disapointed I am. We’ve been looking forward to this trip for awhile now.
Well, in the spirit of the event, my boards are still available for you guys to test ride at anytime. Hopefully we’ll make it down to the So. Bay in a couple of weeks and I’ll bring em with us.
My wife says everything happens for a reason. Yesterday I saw two bad accidents on the 101 fwy in L.A. She thinks that our son being sick may prevent us from being involved in some unpleasant event over the weekend. I’m just bummed that we’ll be missing a really cool event.
Hope everyone has a great time and take lots of pictures for us.
Tyler,
Be sure to let us know when your little one is born.
Change of plans. No more fevers, and the runny nose must have been allergies. Not sure what the fever was about but he went to school yesterday and today and everything seems fine. Sooooooo…we’re heading down to Cardiff this afternoon, got a hotel room for the night and will be at the lot at sunrise. If you see a blue Westy, stop by and say “Hi”.
Will have a 7’2" Spence Hull, 6’2" Campbell Bros Octafish and a 9’ Hap Jacobs 422 (wife’s) for anyone that wants to try them.
it was a fun event but the waves were so very weak. The Ranger was a dick, we all had a good laugh on him. Gregs boards got some attention definitly but the waves did not have any juice whatsoever to get anything really going. Surfed a real fun 6’6" Mitsven quad fish and a 7’1" or so Josh Hall quad fish that was fun as well. Bob and Josh were very nice. Checked out some real nice looking DelRay quad fish as well but had no more time to surf. Thanks to guys at surfy surfy and the surfer mag board who put it all together.
It was a great time with a lot of nice people and some really, really, really cool boards. We parked between Surf4fins, LeeV, Stingray crew and Bob Mitzven. Plenty of good stories and design talk. I rode Bob’s 6’6" quad as well and had a great time on it. Also had a chance to ride his wooden fish. That board had a surprising lively feel that was unexpected. Now, I’m motivated more than ever to finish my HWS.
Had a chance to talk to Shawn Ambrose, the guy is light years ahead of so many others. He’s definitely not trapped inside the shapers box.
Props to Ryan at Point Concept. That kid has learned so much in such a short amount time. BTW he does all of his own glassing and pinstripes.
Mitzven, Zippifish, CI Fishbiscuit, ACE, Zamora, Bonzers deluxe, so many beautiful boards and extremely talented board makers.
The whole family had a great time and it has everyone motivated for the next Swaylockaholics.
