When my friends ask me how long Ive been shaping, I tell them oh “about 5-6 years”. But then I add Ive done literally hundreds of hours of “research” on surfboards, fin, fins set ups etc…
Swaylocks is my home page on my computer, so I check it every time I go on the internet, BEFORE, I check my email and the other surf sites.
I’m a swaylocks addict!! (I need help!!) Its kinda of embarassing, but I’m sure it could be worse!! I love this resource and I love corresponding with other swaylockians who love surfboard building as much as I do!! I dont make money shaping boards, but when I’m asked about my “passion” in this life and what I love to do, before I answer I ask if they have a few minutes and ask them to sit down. And then I ask, are you ready for this?? PEACE AND ALOHA!!!
when you get an idea for a surf toy and instead of going out to buy it, you wander out to the shed and built it —THEN you go ask for help on Sways! and get it !
All of you friends, family, and co workers, 90% of which have no knowledge of surfing or surfboard construction, recognize “Swaylocks” as a surf board building site through your daily swaylockian obsession.
