I sit down and start to write about the Surfboard Forum and realize that something has been left undone. Terry opens his Composites Learning Center to us and gets involved in what we are doing and runs out of time to give a tour of his shop. So I drove up there yesterday and took some photos of some items of interest to surfboard builders and combined with some shots of the tour that I got before last Christmas, I hope to show why I got involved with what’s going on here. (Classes start next week!)
