…ambrose…
how far can it go?
I’d love to give it a go at Blacks…How do I get on the “list”?
And if on it’s way to Blacks it stopped in LA I’d give it a ride or two…
Please, someone take some pix of this mythical beast being ridden!
with a stop in Orange County on the way south…
If it makes it’s way to me I’d gladly bring it on down south for surf4fins or whoever else wants a go. I’d like a shot at the Auslocks board too, but that may be a way off!
There is no Xanadu.
This beast is mythical, alas show yourself and be ridden, I in my splended aromor of neoprene. And you coated with fibredragoon and shine.
Least you lead me around Neptunes lair by leg shackle. I will prevail!!

hey , that is great stuff , Amby !
good on ya matey !
…maybe it , and the ‘Auslocks’ board could have some sort of a contest …
which one will travel the furthest [I think you won that one , already !]…
which one will actually be surfed [by more than ten people]…
which one will actually return one day to it’s creator [in one piece] …
and , WHO , [if anyone ?] , will actually be photographed with the boards / riding the boards / write a report of how the boards went …[with many thanks to ‘Zimmi’ , and ‘king of dub’ , and Josh , SO far , with the Auslocks version !]
cheers
ben
wait for the movie next …
…“the around the world in [? ] days boards” …
Now we just need a 'Eurolox" board , to complete the trifecta !!
…balsa ? lob ? coque ? neira ?
Or one of you ‘Brits’ , perhaps ?
Can you get a piccie of it, just to prove it exists…
Please…
next picturees will be oregonian.
the journal accompanying the board is the source of all pictures and commentary etc.
those wishing to participate and get on the list
a simple contribution to the swaylocks general fund is in order as a show of earnestness.
originally based on raffle ticket purchase there are still a few contributors that have priority.
our ambassador .roger kelly aka prone man
is a likely person
to get this little bugga arround
any others going intercontinental
contact commodore tjd on the personal messages
page to insinuate yourself into the gambit.
aconcerted effort to get the board from place to place has proven to be the primary stumbling block in the process.
Nellyda has seemed to have a measureable interest in surfing the board and moving it about.the move from here to the mainland is imense.
for a board made in july 2004 it is in very respectable
condition.Only two dings!
they are big but I patched them well and inscribed them with the information about their origins.
documentation of the board’s travels in the journal are becoming a fair read…
Oh canada how’s bout a tour of the jordan river venue?///…
///ambrose…

“documentation of the board’s travels in the journal are becoming a fair read…”
…perhaps those pages could be scanned by some thoughtful soul *, so that 4000 OTHER people may get to read them ?
cheers
ben
thoughtful souls are lost in thought.
whats necessary on the ggooodd ship swaylock is a yeoman
to sit patiently with the documents and
secretarialize them while desperarly procrastinating a hot coaty.
assignation of tasks is also a buck passing excercise.
one day all the photos will decend upon one prepared for the monumental editing task so casually fantasised.
and once tis done
the next will casually be dropped upon the desk
and the due date will be yesterday.to be casually toossed
aside like a daily paper…
the spirit form is surely being straddled at seaside as we drivelon the keyboard,do photo images truely validate us?
or are we still the etheral beings of antiquity
dwelling in the mists if the material world…
///ambrose…
praise the yeomen they are a special breed.
ah …pictures of the board will come about soon…board arrive in portland in perfect shape with a perfect pack job…
swells here have exceded 15 feet for the past week with know end in site
a possible trip up the the strait of juan de fuca will be needed o get full pleasure from such an amazine craft…trips,parties are being planned in honer of the beautiful board…ambrose , only one fin with the board? i will make another in the time we have it …just for fun…
whata board…it will love the point …
pictures will be posted tuesday night
This is like the Sawylock’s version of “breaking Bread.” If the board comes to the LA area I’d volunteer to give it a spin at Palose Verdes Cove- aka “Paddleboard Cove.” For those of you who don’t know, the Cove was one of the first spots regularly surfed in California, frequented by the likes of Tom Blake. Seems only right that it surf a wave or two in this historic spot.
I can meet someone as far north as long beachish area, or it can be dropped off to my girl at school (USC) and then I can drive it down to as far south as San Diego. Just tell me what to do. I want to read the journal more than anything…
it was a year in la ventura and velzy time it went to north county and san diego
the pac north west will likely monopolize it till next spring.
mebe this calls for a trip north to surf the chill…
the spring will be an inspiration
although mebe those northern guys
might jaunt south for a christmas plunge at blax
specially if sombody picks em up at the airport…

thank you thank you .
good stuff !
"one day all the photos will decend upon one prepared for the monumental editing task so casually fantasised. "
no fantasy on my part , anyway . ANYONE who would like to take a few minutes / wants to scan the journal and send it to me in email form , please feel free to get in touch by pm . [if that is okay with you , that is , Amby ? what sayest thou , oh board’s creator / exporter ?]
Although not one of you , I would gladly “secretarialise” the photos and writing [if legible] , to help others world wide to feel like we are also / can be part of the fun !
I reckon it is so goood that two swaylockian-constructed boards are being shared with others across the continent/s ! [I hope it becomes <span style=“font-style:italic”>contagious</span> , this sharing of boards ?]
…cheers !
ben
I’d like a go at it :0)

well, I did a ‘travel board’ search in the archives , but I couldn’t find a thread with photos of the board on it anywhere hicksy .
I did , however , find a couple of threads by Amby showing how long it had been on [and , it seems , more often , OFF !!] the road for , on the last "trip "…
It was posted about on the day I joined swaylocks .
…Amby ,
I think you are a very patient / persistent / brave man , putting it out there for ? ANOTHER two years of dawdling up and down the cali coastline , perhaps ?!
[Good luck , man]
Anyway , Hicksy , and others …
here’s some previous threads I unearthed on the “Ambrose Travel Board” …
