Was able to finally put a face to the name. Met Joaquin from France and his friends at Surfindian today. They purchased a couple of my boards a year or so back and sent a comment that they were enjoying them. It’s always gratifying to realize the happiness that surfing engenders and that I can have a small part in making it happen.
New HPH (hydrodynamic planing hull) speedster for a great client back East.
Heading out soon for my March trip to San Diego. Mostly shaping this trip. Last trip, I had a few down days, so this time I only booked ten days instead of my normal two weeks. Of course as soon as I did, I got jammed up with orders. As a result I’m shaping every day except one, and that one I’m tattooing at Avalon Tattoo in beautiful Pacific Beach. I should have time to do a few new stock boards for Chris and Masa at Surfindian. Stop in and check them out. I look forward to seeing all of my friends in the water.
Just received this bit of art from Eric Swesey. Artist, surfer, friend. A whimsical inspired performance.
A few from this past weekend @Avalon.
Thanks go out to Lana, Erik and Kyle. I couldn’t do it without you.
Back in SD for a couple weeks of tattooing at Avalon Tattoo and shaping up on the hill at Bing (formerly Channin). See you at the beach.
I’d like to thank Takashi, Junko, and Blue Magazine for including me in the latest issue of their beautiful publication.
Chef Katherine Humphus and the Cohn Restaurant Group have created a brilliant new place for a great evening of food and drink.
yum! go there
I am once again up on the hill in Encinitas, ready to do several new boards. Thanks as always to Matt and Margaret for their generosity and warmth.
