At last some swell arrived this weekend allowing me and my girlfriend to ride the new boards i made for us. Nice clean 2-4ft. Both boards seemed to work well but we are both novices in the surf so a detailed technical analysis of the boards performances won’t be possible yet. We were however both stoked that we’re finally riding along the waves rather than either falling off or going straight. Even managed to fit in a stealth mission late at night. Off to ireland next week in search of some surf so fingers crossed i’ll be able report a bit better on how the boards surf then.
Hope you get good waves.
Friends of mine went to Ireland and got bullshit waves, cold, but perfect, and few and friendly people.
Glad you’re having fun on boards you made.
(" bullshit waves" , and “filth waves” = GOOD waves in Australian , for those wondering …oh yeah , and …“wicked” waves , ‘bro’ " are the new millenium version of the '70s "righteous waves, man ! ")
Thanks Chip. ‘Wicked’ and ‘sweet’ just don’t have the same impact when describing waves.
‘Bro’ in US, ‘bru’ in SA, ‘maaaate’ in Aus.
…“baaaaaaaa” in en zed…
“dude” in Galveston

ahhh the galveston lingo… so familiar and used myself… “dude, seriously”… confuses so many people in oklahoma (worlds crappiest state “literally”… home to manure farms and sod farms)
I don’t know about that… I think nebraska wins the crappiest state contest…
Watch the movie…
Filth i’m famillier with but bullshit waves is new to me. The phrase my girlfriend loves most though is oober! I’m not sure that this is the correct spelling though!
