hi mate !
as promised ...
this is 'Sabs' , and his son , many years ago now , displaying mike's awesome workmanship . [this was taken with an old 1.7mp digital I was given YEARS ago , so apologies for the poorish 'clarity' , but hopefully you get the general picture / idea , anyway ?]
the rocket and the planets were wood [?inlay?] ...the board vac-bagged eps
mike is a reaaallly good bloke ...
I hope he still frequents here ? because he illingly shared his tuff with hicksy and I when he was in perth years ago .
I think he moved to n.z. , then maybe the sunshine coast after that , from memory ?
anyways , if you're here , Mike ?
love to hear from you and especially info on how you did this great board for your son ...
stoked !!
cheers
ben , west oz
[and , here's a couple of other boards he brought around one day ...the boards feature his own vacuum bagged fins too, by the way ...]
here he is again , this time Mike is doing the nev impersonation , illustrating how to turn a thruster into a flat finless alaia , when you get sick of ripping . [mind you the fins could maybe get a bit painful / cut you an extra ...er.... "buttcrack" , when paddling ?]
[ p.s. - I jest , for those unable to sense humour / laugh]
