Why not…???..
What: Van conversion
Who: Paul Jensen
Why: Bitchen incognito surfmobiles are cool.
or
What: Boat restoration
Who: Resinhead
Why: So I could take my dad fishing when he comes to visit, without having to go just for rockfish taco meat.
I’m still trying to figure that out…
Hey Paul,
How about coming to Brooklyn and giving a build your own board workshop?
I have a friend who runs an artist studio who I know would be way into it.
As would I.
Rick.

Can do…Pick a date…I need three days, $300 per person, enough people to cover my travel costs…CD and templates included…
Why not…???..
Paul,
Thanks for the invite. When I convert from riding the bicycle back to driving I may need to make the trip.
No good reason for why not… Just not yet.

I am a hobby builder so it’s hardly really relevant for me but I would imagine the following (I know not very “soulful” but from a business perspective…)
-
Sourcing materials with more builders to get better products and prices (especially in places were things are hard to get like europe for wood and resin)
-
Sharing infrastructure ( I currently share a workshop with another builder)
-
Sharing a label or brand for marketing purposes (like the compsand crew is doing)
-
Setting up sales channels with reputable core retailers for the discerning custom buyer
-
Collabaration for group insurance policies and or legal/tax services
-
Setting standards for products and services so products are inter-servicable (like the compsanders want, they can all pretty much repair each other’s boards as they have similar base-lines for construction), when combined with a brand you can make a transparent price and service structure for the client and retailer.
-
Sponsorship of competitive riders, it may be prohibitive for a small producer but if different producers can agree on the deal this may prove an effective way of communicating to the market. (I think this would be very applicable to the HWS and Compsand crews)
-
Organizing events, this happens with the FishFry crew and is very effective form of marketing and from what I gather a heap of fun!
ok…
enough from me… I don’t sell boards… I just make em for fun…
God, Buddha and Allah.
Make THE magic carpet surfboard.
It would ride like walking on water, let you ride the perfect wave again in the same lifetime and clear the water of non-believers.
With lillibel on vacuum bagging wood skins. Why? Have you seen his boards?

…making plans for Sways 2008…money’s tight…I’ll be there…How about you?

Harmonica-Big Walter Horton-Tone and Feeeeellll…
This friend can always wait longer to see an old fish if money/time/circumstances change our plans. Look forward to seeing everyone that can make it to the Sways gig, though. Mike
I’m with you Herb, I’ll bring the beer
Tom
With - my mate Phil.
What - build some crazy out there boards.
Why - Because it’d be a whole lot of fun ( although I know he’d have the ideas and I’d end up cleaning up.)
Because we scattered his ashes on the sea 11 years ago this month and I miss him.
