Sorry if my reply seemd a little short and sharp, but my understanding is the general forum was to discuss design and manufacturing, and it's related history, not promote people or products.
So please don't take this the wrong way. There is a place for people and products in the Swaylocks mix, and maybe it's in the industry section, or maybe even a new section dealing with promoting people and products, and obviously short of the marketplace.
What if they are not actually in the industry and are uncomfortable with that, but their influence, talent or product are just as relevant to enhancing the present and future of surfboards, it's progression, and this site?
I appreciate Swaylocks overall as a 'Design Forum', as the title indicates. The rest are subtitles under the same roof.
dunno what its worth but at sacred craft he was shaping with my tools since i shaped just before him and he didn’t have any with him; i’d say thats a pretty big disadvantage, shaping in front of a crowd without your own tools.
he seemed like a nice guy, and obviously not too worried about what people think of his age and experience shaping, otherwise he’d be on here already!
I was stoked he made a fin from a fin panel I made up last summer (Red, White, Blue).
Just having fun making boards is that so wrong?

Pretty distinctive board - I happened to see it out in the lineup yesterday at our local point break. Not sure who was surfing it...The session was a free for all and there were a few points in time when it seemed like major ding repairs would be on the horizon for this log.
