your no. 0001 will piss all over my no. 1000 , any day . ( Seriously…that’s why I’ll stick to fins ! …“no.20” may be as many boards as I will ever make…)
Join “the Shwuz Brigade” with pride, mate ! [freakish talent that gets it spot on , right from the very first board] …good on ya mate !
the japanese will be beating a path to your door …
…" honourable sausageman , is my board ready yet ?" , with 1000 dollar bills [equivalent] in hand .
…Soon you will stop teaching , build a board a week , buy your own island with perfect surf , and retire with your five geisha girls …
I need to find a place to work on boards in Japan, and a place to get supplies from…
So stoked on the first one, and I’ve got so many things I want to try an my next several boards.
Thanks again to you and everybody else that helped me out on this board. Learned a lot, and now have a better idea of what I’m doing, won’t make the little mistakes next time around, and the next few boards are sure to be better! Here’s hoping anyway…
what were the nose , tail , and tail tip to tip measurements again , please Pete ? [I deleted a whole heap of messages this arvo , then realised …oops…]
haha, nice. Yeah, I did know who he is, though I had to think about it for a second…
Ok, something has happened to me… I was planning to go to a movie today, and I thought I’d just get started on #2 before going. Maybe just skin it, or do the rail bands too. All of a sudden, it’s 10 o’clock, and I’ve finished the whole board…
Will glass the bottom tomorrow morning, before going to judge a contest. Will probably stay at the beach overnight - expecting a swell on Sunday - and finish laminating Sunday night.
When I head back to Japan, I’m gonna go through some serious withdrawel symptoms…
