Home- Appreciate how good it is , can’t take things for granted.
Shop - Improve in all areas , practice makes perfect. Just setting up a new shop so no excuses.
Surf - More shacks and longer tens and really try and let one go through to the pack.
Swaylocks - less bitching and people with agendas and more exciting stuff that makes you want to build one with photos from Chipper, just like it used to be.
What’s your list?
Cheers

1.) get back in the water, my elbow is only 85%, and i can’t surf. Expect to be in the water in early jan, but a NY day dawn patrol would be soo sweet.
Do a cutlap, pigmented bottom, and resin swirl deck on my twinny, and have it come out reasonably ok, not expecting great, just ok.
Take my daughter to swimming lessons.
Lose my small but gaining beergut, it runs in the family but im gunna try to buck the trend.
More family time
8’ longboard
Shop- I want our new building/shop finished NOW!! I am tired of waiting.
Home- More free time.
Surf- Warm water.
Swaylocks- More patience. Remember we were all new once.

Success!!
a drop of catalytic peace
from one good ride
forms a ripple across
the wide wide wide
world world world
a new year like no other
is ours for the having
limited only by these
Imaginations…
can you hear it
listen hard
it’s faint
listen harder,
sing along
to the optimism
dont sing along
to the othersongs
of derision
whatch out what you wish for
you will get it,and you will be cornered …
to give thanx for less than optimum.
…ambrose…
and a new board…
or ten
Here’s mine
Home- To watch my little girl grow and thrive.
Shop- To get one. The web store launch is quickly upon us. I would like to have an ACTUAL SHOP follow shortly thereafter.
Boards- To get a few of my concept boards in the water. To get 50 boards into the hands of people who will surf them
Health-I would love for this broken rib to heal(2yrs now…still surfin) To find the balance I need to get better
Surf- To get fully shacked, pull off a sick air(just one would be fine) Oh! and a few more times swimming with the dolphins!
Swaylocks- To be able give back as much as I have received. It’s an impossible task…but I will give it all I got
To cut up, make you friggin clowns laugh, and make some new friends.
Merry ChristmaChanuQuanzica! and may we all prosper and push each other to new levels!
Mahalo
Good health to all of you
Good waves to all of you
Develope a better rail marking tool.
Wayull - this may or may not be quite a year for me. Things in motion, I hope…
Home…well, that’s up to her. The woman is crazy, of course. Otherwise, she’d have dumped me quite a while back. Oh, and about a month’s work fixing things up. And a good veggie garden, plant some fruit trees.
Shop… machine tools. A nice little lathe and a nice little milling machine. There’s only so much you can do with wood…or composites. Fix the mig welder, stuff like that.
Oh, and Todd - hold off on the ‘for-real’ surf shop. Been there, done that, it’s a fun hobby but as a money maker? naaah.
Work in general: more time on the water. Shift over from blue collar to a no-collar/white collar mix.
Boards - yep, some of my slightly mad ideas could stand to be built. Along with figuring out a tank-test rig, so mebbe I don’t have to build the screwier ones full-sized. Instrumentation. Talk about your multi-year project…
Health. Haaaa - short of as new body, I’ll settle for not going downhill much faster than I am now.
Surf. Heh- see ‘health’ above.
Sways… couldn’t do better than Todd’s "To cut up, make you friggin clowns laugh, and make some new friends. " I mean, this is surfing, okay? Toys. Playing on the ocean. Lets not take it too seriously.
doc…
