If you’re interested… About a week ago, both Dale and I talked with Marc Kent who hosts “Let’s Talk Surfing”…It’s a radio interview show that is devoted to our sport… The link below has more details on the show and when our interviews will be aired and in which cities… I listened to the show yesterday, via CD, and now I can put a voice to Dales messages… Here’s what’s unbelievable…Dale goes into a surf mat rap…And I recite my poem “How Hollow Is Thy Board”…Unbelievable…You gotta listen just for those gems…Unbelievable… Later…Paul http://www.cool-net.com/letstalksurfing/
Ooh, it’s going to play here in Santa Barbara on my birthday–4/20. That’ll be a nice way to start the day!
I didnt hear any poetry or rap. All I heard were two guys talking about how they make alternative "things" to try and ride waves with. One guy sounded like an FBI covert ops, the other was too much of a "enthusiast". Wood? Nylon fabric? Yeah and both these dudes are trying to sell their products with nothing but AIR inside. ! Itll be funny.
Fred… Be sure of this: the equipment that Paul and I build are functional, evolving and REAL surfcraft. We build because were driven, gaining deep satisfaction from the process and results of that creation. Both of us have longtime backgrounds as surfer/custom craftsmen. Were also realists who offer no apologies for expecting a fair profit from the work of our hands. Speaking for myself, I`ve more than paid my dues for 30 years, most of that time laboring in relative isolation, purely for the growth of knowledge and skill in an ongoing love of discovery. Pura vida.
Q: What do hollow surfboards, surfmats and Fred W’s head have in common? A: “…nothing but AIR inside.”
