Another mellow day at the Designs by Dana and now a treat at the Dee Felice Cafe with the Sleepcat Band and my wife behind the bar.

Christmas Sale!
Check out some special deals on my boards at Surfindian. Stop in and talk to Chris and pick one up for Christmas.
Happy Tom’s 10’0″
The board in the rack here at the Sacred Craft Expo ’08 is one I made for Happy Tom of Turbo Negro. He has been unable to get it to his place in Costa Rica due to airline restrictions on length and so has decided to part with it. It is available through Chris at Surfindian in Pacific Beach. It’s a round pin noserider with Sam Cody color work. Very lightly used and in good shape.
Another one bites the dust!
Well I’m back in Kentucky and looking forward to seeing my boards from this past trip completed by the uncommonly skilled craftsmen at Channin Precision Fiberglassing. It’s such a pleasure and honor to have my boards built by the crew there.
Boards for this trip include
7’0″ morning of the earth type single fin diamond tail, eggplant tint, yellow glass on and pins for Joe (thanks very much Joe)
8’4″ HPH double red cedar stringers, volan, beautiful deco keels made by Rick at Mitsven for Takashi (arigato!)
two 9’6″ gliders. One for Jay at slidermag.com, grey tint, and one for Paula, lovely deep turquoise (thanks to both of you)
11’1″ glider, triple red cedar stringer, purple tint for Takashi (domo arigato)
Hopefully I’ll get some photos before they all go away.
Back up on the hill
It’s good to be back in San Diego. Shaped a nice 9’6″ glider today for Jay at Slider magazine. Check out the link to the right. Hoping for surf in the morning.
UP ON THE HILL!
Can’t wait to get back in to the shaping bay at Channin’s. Looking forward to a couple nice weeks of work and surf.
Jazz-anti-Jazz
Double barrel
Look carefully (these are phone pictures, sorry) and you will see guys getting covered up on both sides of this peak. All of this of course is gone for now with Ida having come through. Actually, in the words of a nice local bookseller, “it hasn’t disappeared, it’s just not on your property any longer.” They don’t say erosion here. The word is “migration”.
Another day in paradise
Look closely and you should see a surfer going each way off this peak. Last night it was me and one other guy. Today there were about eight guys on it. Tomorrow it may be gone.
