first of all i had nothing to do with the injustices suronding the usa take over of HAWAII…secondly i realize that many items are made in china and the keyboard im typing on may be made in china… i just beleave in the craftsmanship and soul that goes into a handshaped board made in australia, peru or the USA…SURFING IS A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP with nature its a unique experience…and i personally will not purchase a board made in china…its just my thouhgt my opioion…i also think more people should use bikes instead of cars to get to therre surf spot .and the whole green revolution …aloha
can you just do us all a favor and reply to the original shitheap you started instead
of going and starting new threads?
THREE total posts…did it ever dawn on you that the people who frequent a forum
about surfboard building and design are NOT the people who are buying surfboards
from China?
You may as well log in to the UAW forums and start preaching about buying cars
from Japanese…it would be about as useful as what you’ve done here.
Spoken like a true sage my friend

I haven’t had my coffee yet this morning.
hahahaha
doesn’t this feel like the coldest summer on record?!
Cold? Who cares about cold!?!
How about about the worst winter surf season…possibly EVER!
AAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!
Oh…I’ve just started my “pre coffee” cup of coffee.
I have to have a cup of coffee to prepare me for my first cup of coffee.
LOL

LOL!!!
Love the pic.
All you need is one of those curly straws
Is there a rule about he who has the most annoying first three posts shall be stoned?
I had a hard time deciding on whether I should select ‘funny’, ‘inspired’ or ‘inventive’.
lmao
**All of this chit chat about soul and coffee is irrelevant to the bigger picture. It’s reminiscing of the talk of shaper’s who use the shaping machine, as if some of them don’t do all of the work themselves. Contrary to some people’s beliefs, there is soul coming from both. There are many examples, but I don’t think the people in this thread really care beyond their own involvement. Tools are tools. In the right hands, craftsmanship is just a continuation of a life long process, only as good as what is on your bench at this moment.**
Wow! I’m honored!
I’d take all three…wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all!
LOL!!!

AMEN Brother!
We’re just funning about.
I will use all the tools available to me… and the tools I use are entirely dependant on what I am trying to achieve with that board.
Surfing is my passion. Shaping is my artistic outlet, my skulpture, my painting, my vision made manifest.
But ya gotta have fun…or else why bother.
