Well after 6 weeks dropped him a note to ask when I should expect the board, and was told to stop asking and let him get on with work otherwise he'll never finish.Fuck I wish i could do that in my job.Bit of c*nt effort really so hope the boards good.
O.K. here is the secret
since we have become so close
and you are now considered an insider…
dont tell anybody especially the guy
that is the source of the concern
because to bring him in on it would wreck the test case completely…
so quickly go get a blank and resin and a sureform and tape and sandpaper
and build a rack and make and finish and ride the board you make.
it will be better than the one this guy whomso ever is
at or about this concern…and when he calls up an wants you to pick up his finished board…
you can smugly go pick it up and politely thank him,or her, for the board knowing full well
that you are just being charitable accepting his work…Then take the board home and let it cure,ha ha ha …
never ride it until the day comes that he/she asks you how was the board and ,concealing the truth
that the board has never seen water, tell him/her that is the best board you have ever had and everybody likes it and
you cant wait to order three more.All the while you have been riding the board you made faster ,that is better in every way
with the picture of your old favorite dog blue on the deck in perpetuity when he was just a pup riding with you on that
10’west swell at church,blue out on the nose snipping at the heels of thet guy that took off on you two repeatedly.
any way this guy will take so long you could probobly make three boards fo the same price and never have waited…
fantasy to excercise the idle and anxious mind is not only fun
but opens the door to creative solutions.When you have somebody do some work
start doing a duplicate job and see who is done first…when you end up doing it faster
you can become the next guy you hire…
…ambrose…
eventually you will not only be faster
but indeed better all around.Just be sure to be nice
about it … nothing worse than a bad attitude in a surfboard.
You are correct I think, its the only way to bring down a demigod artist playing with my emotions like a puppet master.
Anyhow, I have cancelled the order and just got a Surftech delivered by courier in the mail, it arrives tomorrow and will no doubt be better than some handshaped clunker.
definite beavis and butthead solution.
enjoy your surfing experience on
the surftech team.Your growth
and fullfillment in the surftech limits
is what makes surfing what it is today.
…ambrose…
hand shaped clunkers are the
promise and future of real
surfing and unlimited
creative growth.
I was kidding.
altho you were kidding
the thought form persists
in the contemporary mind
as we aas a culture are
being overwhelmed by the
powers that be. I had to respond
in a definitive balance.
I meant no ill will.
My wish was to clarify for those
reading that may have been on the fence.
I am glad you were kidding
and await your entry into
magificient clunkerville,
and the greatness that lies
beyond in the creative wonderland
of one of a kind surfcraft.
…ambrose…
I would rather surf a place
where popouts just wern’t present.
Perhaps why I choose to surf
such offbeat spots
with offbeat surfcraft.
My last ten go outs have been
with less than 5 people out
except for that one wave
I caught through the bowl
on the way home.
‘get it soon, the blokes are dying!!!’
Best line of the thread!!
Since my family got me this for Christmas last year I have to agree with Ambrose 100%.
