Great to see Tim and Ray again, as always. Spoke with Bob Mitzven and Tom for a good while…consumate craftsmen. All hand shaped, no ruffles. Beauty of a chambered cedar fish and drool worthy quads.
Nice to meet the Bass after all these years. Ryan was a treat to talk to. His boards even better in person. I wish I had had the time to try one out. He lent out his personal purple and black stub to someone else to try before he had ever gotten it wet.
It’s a shame the surf wasn’t a tad better but Tim, Ray and I got it early enough to snag a couple. Ray caught a couple of waves on my “Smoothie”. Not one starfish and he pulled a couple of nice railers too. I saw that smile after his first wave…the first one’s free!
Just wanted to add that I rode Bernie’s 6’2" at Ewa Beach last October and really enjoyed it. The board is surprisingly easy to paddle and gives the rider a complete sense of confidence. It’s the first board I’ve ridden that feels as though it’s actually a part me. Very easy to control and really freakin fun to ride. You definitely deserve huge amounts of recognition for these boards. Would love to ride one in some juicier surf.
Who’s Scott Bass? Of course I meant you…I wish I could’a hung longer. It was nice to meet the man behind the words! Did you fly out just for the AB3 thing?

Scott Bass also dreamed up and turned Sacred Craft into reality.
