"depression is a luxury you can't afford", the exwife. "it looked just like Pipeline", every grom looking at a hollow little beach break left at their beach.
Enrique…who was running the Brazo camp on Asu told me the new Bawa breaks ‘just like chopes’…but it’s a right man?
here is a famous quote some will recognise some wont
none the less a quote that a lot failed to keep?
Every day I
go out into the shaping room, turn on the sidelights, put a blank on
the racks, and draw out a planshape. I listen to and talk with surfers
about design and construction every single day. I hear about every soft
spot, every buckled board, and every sticky turn. At the end of each
evening, I blow the dust off, turn off the lights, and leave behind in
the darkened shaping bay another new surfboard.
I wrote this somewhere else. “You’re never to old to act immature.” Told to a 10 year old boy by a 50 something man after some inappropriate fart humor in a restaraunt.
“There are nights where the wolves are silent and only the moon howls”

No win or lose. Better still, everybody wins.
I like to understand what I am making before I build it, especially
when electricity is involved. I will not be cutting foam until the
weather warms up – got nowhere to glass inside. I would not have
considered any of this if Ken at Segway had not suggested using EPS and a
hotwire, and somebody here had not posted about using a battery charger
anyway.
Seemed like there was too much guesswork going on out here in
cyberspace. So I decided to see what I could learn. I view more
information as a good thing. The equations are basic and the algebra is
simple. Fixed output power sources can work just fine with the right
gauge and length of Nichrome wire and sufficient volts/amps.
Seems like anybody can win.
It is best to keep things in context surfding.
