FAMO - LES travel board

do I scream down the line at pitas

am I culpating accross an unfamiliar dimension ?

is tht light breaking in yonder opening

do I dare to exhale in the depths of a whitewater barrel and belie=ve air will come to me?

these and other truths can be revealed as long as I am not affixed to a mantle in ventura…the oregon girl is going to coata rica for christmas that could be a good ride…maybe meet some one from ----- to connect with the next leg of enlightenment and adventure…the travel update is missing…ambrose… anxious yet relaxed waiting for a train

and a strange silince was heard … harmonizing with the sound of one hand clapping to the chanty ringing out from the deck of the Flying Dutchman slowly passing our catamaran in the dark…ambrose…feeling near as faded as my jeans

and a strange silince was heard …

OK here goes nothing - here comes something…words to a song sung back then that was overlayed on Janis Joplins effort and they go a little something like this, ahem…busted flat, she had no boobs, waiting for her training bra, feeling more than betrayed by her genes, do do de dooo… Whenever I left the California coast to go back packing or traveling the swell would come up BIG Ð HUGE you REALLY missed it all-time perfect out of New Zealand and my mom would cut it out of the Pilot and show me the pictures and story when I got home “you reeeally missed it, sonny boy.” OK mom here’s my laundry, don’t mix my underwear with my white shirts or your red ones please and where’s Jimi Hendrix, my black cat amigo that hangs with me when I stay up late and sketch my future on white pages in a 9x12 sketchbook? Yeah but the things that my friends and I would see on our Jack Kerouac mad max desert scrambles and Grand Canyon waterfall backpack trips were beyond priceless. Every little speck of dirt that I traversed that wasn’t home town opened me like an adventure book sharp knife that makes for paradise in my memories. Home, though - wow - how come all the kids in like a three block radius want to see the surfboards that I make? Pied piper ambassadors of good will, we are, the music of polyester resin smell wafting out - better not pick my nose or ? Young boy spinning on a cardboard square break-dance surfboard template material. Then word that he is on the Olympic water-polo team - just heard that he produces MTV music videos - full circle knowledge my how they grow up. His little sister inquisitive glances at the mad doctor of surf shapes now has two children of her own. Don’t think what you do with surfboards totemic objects for kindred spirits is nothing that translates to neighborhood awareness program. EVERYBODY knows you or about you so be a good traveler and take your spirit out across the pages but return back to us safe cause you do count to some little kid cartwheels across the street is he looking my chosen gladiator with surform in hand? I MADE DAMN SURE a strange noise sears planer was heard echoing through the neighborhood - and it was good…

fmtb is ready to be passed on to the next adventurer-how about it oregon girl???injuries have kept me from flying on the magic saucer,(not to mention a huge lack of cooperation by mother ocean).hope to try it before i pass it on to , hopefully, oregon girl.ambrose-private message me with numbers, etc.

Stillness of faded jean transparency blues, silence created, blessed invisibility, the vortex empty and whole again, leaving room for everything to arrive. The less you count the more you matter.

Yo, ho, yo, ho,

There be a few that might take a flight perchance here in the cul-de-sac that be San Diego. Perhaps a parlay 'twixt the Proneman and Keith of Melville or even Lee of V. Then she may be shipped to where the northwinds blow cold and the mists soften the truth…

Yours in Service

fair enough lad-me ask that i may indoctrinate her into the waters of these parts before setting her free…(this weekend)

I thought we were going to send it around So Cal for a while?

I’m in NE LA County (Magic Mountain). Surf Ventura and Newport so a pickup

in either would be easy to arrange. Where is the board now?

—< added: oops if I only read, I’d seen the costa for xmas and understood the timeframe… >—

yea and verily brothers of the tuck and go

lest not forget the neighbors above and below

may the turn of tide be pleasing and sweet

and the rest on the nose be good for your feet

this said may all bode well

and to the best a cleanthly swell

yea be the turn of the tide

and the handover swell thee with pryde

to once have known a form so sweet

yes and to tend to those devine feet

now they be cleansed like an apostle of old

and ready to spread swaylockian gold…ambrose…

make new friends

Leev, I may be up Matt’s way over the weekend and if so will pick up the FMTB with the intention of delivering the magic platter to you and Keith on Dec. 12th at a place to be determined by wave predictions that week!

Roger

There’s no real rush. Since 4est lives in the “Ventura” area maybe he can get it from Matt and give it a go…I just didn’t want it to leave so cal without hitting SD. I’ve got no problems with shipping it up to SC or to our northernmore brethren…

the rush is in the drop and go…maybe my new mat comes today …ambrose…anticipation is an intoxicant

the magic one will be handed over to brother 4est within the next week.hopefully some sort of wave will come up twixt now and the so i can give her a go!
