So what else do you do?

This is for all the new members, just so we can get to know each other a bit better…

We know that we’re all here because we as interested in Surfboard Design & Construction, but what else do you do in your spare time…

I’ll kick it off… I build furniture from recycled wood…

The top used to be a set of old gates, Jarrah wood, the base and legs are left over roofing timbers…

Sanded down and laquered with epoxy resin…

So what do you do???

Fly fish, build stuff out of wood, and trying to finish a '29 Ford Street Rod thats taking forever.

unfortunately, between the old lady, work, school, surf, shape i don’t do much else…

Texas hold 'em, baby!

I also have a tendency to post on the internet about politics and US policy as some have seen on this board.

Believe it or not I held back since this is not the place to discuss differing politics or prove how wrong or right someone is.

Last I work (four letter word)as a system Administrator/Desktop support Tech.

Biglie!

No, not Big Lie. Say it in Italian - bill-yay.

A translation will have to do:

In the summer of the games from beach, between ping-pong, beach-football, beach-tennis, beach rugby and who more beach it has more beach puts, also the biglie return in auge. The preferred entertainment of our infancy with to the castles and the games with secchiello and shovel is knowing one new giovinezza. All in beach, then, children and adults, kneel down to make to you to turn littles ball colored on tracks made to the perfection (traced dragging for the feet someone that “lend” its fondoschiena to the use) that they mean to reproduce the great circuits of the Formula One. If on the littles ball once there were the designs of Bartali or Coppi, hour instead the biglie they reproduce the single-seater Ferrari or MacLaren.

The ancient pastime, practiced already in Egypt, impazza therefore on nostrane shorelines, above all on the coast inhabitant of Romagna. This saturday, as an example, to bath 39 of Rimini the “Italian Federation biglie from beach” organizes the sixth international championship. And to Ravenna some years ago it had been founded even the University of the biglie, frequentatissima from the children. Between the matters Shooting to piffetto, Science of the ballistic trajectories and Technical of construction of bigliodromi taught.

But attention. Who agrees some ago to know that it more does not have to call them biglie. The modern name to use would be cheecoting. To how much it seems this name would derive from the Spanish “Chico” (child): in fact in sunny spiagge of Acapulco the children they were amused to hit to turn the biglie being made them to more fastly ruotare of the adversaries without to exit from the tracing. She would have been a Mexican engineer, Alonso B. Carrillo, to elevate to game sport the ancient popular tradition.

Hi Hicksy,

Very beautiful woodwork. I planned to do something like that in the future (the problem is space). For while, I spend my spare time playing guitar and harmonica, reading (this year, I’ve been dedicating to biographies). In the past, painting, mosaic, peruvian weaving, photography. Lately, I’ve been working on the idea of writing a book.

Hicksy: Cool woodwork. Id love to get into that. Is there a Swaylocks for woodworking???

I shape golf courses, pick a little guitar, and fish for stripers in the fall and winter on the Chesapeake Bay.

Bandon Dunes, Oregon

Music…Play Bass…If I had more time I would fence again.

Oooh, lotsa musicians…I’d love to embarass KeithM by telling you all to check out a little YouTube session we did at his house…but I need his shaping racks this weekend. So I won’t. Sorry.

Yeah texas hold em! skate, snowboard, hike, workout. and for work I’m a video/mulitmedia/editor person. Would love to do a sways doc.

Just like Hicksy, some woodworking:

Planning to get back into drums when I have some more time. But, above all, I spend most of my spare time trying to make my beloved wife laugh (especially when she’s drinking coffee…)



I paint and do graphics freelance for various companies, including myself.

One day I hope to meet someone who wants to start a surf or skate co. using my skills.

O…and they actually pay me!


I am a full time student graduating in may with a bs in biomedical materials engineering.

I dabble in skateboard construction. http://www.hardcarve.com/index_sideold.html (index to a few boards.)

Also I do some sideskating (somewhat similar to freeline skating but invented by myself and my brother making it much cooler) http://www.hardcarve.com/

Latest project… making a filament winding machine. to wind fiberglass around a tube to make ultra strong thin walled tubes.

My newest thing is traccking and primitive technology. But i also paint work as a lifeguard. Iam trying to teach my self guitar and harmonica.

Nice! Anyone pinstripe? The old way…with the brush. Just started.
