Hello, aunty jack
we know you’ll be back’
though your ten feet tall you don’t scare us at all.
If you don’t go to surf coast I’ll rip ya bloody arms orf.
looks like i’ll have no arms then
that’s going to make paddling hard…
i got to catch up with my brother today and we went to luna park
there is stuff organised for me here in melbourne for the next three days , so unfortunately i am unable to get away
playing the tourist has been fun
but i’m looking forward to returning to w.a. …five days out of the water ?? hmmm

When you get home there should be some packages waiting, or not far off being delivered mate. I sent some glass offcuts ,and some blue and magente tint. In the next few weeks, you’ll get the white pigment, and some 6oz on a roll, not much, but good for fin panels etc. The pigment is pretty much full, i got it about 2 weeks ago with the magenta, im just gunna use some for finboxes and leash plugs, so it looks half decent!!.
If you need to borrow my probox router cutter, and the rubber templates, just let me know mate
thanks HEAPS Mark !
some fins will come your way as a result …
how about some ‘swirly’ ones ?!
cheers
ben
