on the road again
Heading west next soon. I’ve got a lot of shaping to do (for me anyway). Some for Japan, one for Puerto Rico, and some for SD. Tattooing some groovy people at Avalon Tattoo as well. Gonna be busy!
three more on the way!
Well, another trip is on the books and after a nice trip to the high desert and a day at Avalon Tattoo hurting people, I finally had time to do three stock boards. They’re going through right now up on the hill at Bing.
the list:
7’2″ Malibu/SD hull, 6 oz volan, single box, sanded gloss
7’9 1/2″ hillbilly hull, rnd squash, blue grey tint, single box, gloss and polish
9’0″ EDB, rnd squash, burnt orange tint, single box, gloss and polish
Fun Solstice show
Thanks to everybody at 7th St. Gifts in Newport, Ky for having us play their customer appreciation day. A LOT of fun with Judge and Jury: Tom and Clay Judge, Aimee Huber, Carrie, and Ryan.
Paul’s new tattoo
from antique Danish flash.
New dealers!
It’s official. I now have boards at Mission Surf and Bird’s Surf Shed.
Rich at Mission Surf has a great selection of very high quality merchandise and an eclectic, hand selected stash of great locally produced surfboards.
Bird’s, well what can I say? The most insane collection and old school good vibe. I’m stoked to have boards in such a rad place. Great vibe, and an awesome selection.
And I have to admit, I’m a bit proud of Bird’s Tweet after I dropped the boards. Thanks Bird. It’s an honor.
travels
Heading out tomorrow to do some boards for Greg Surf Co. Osaka, and Surfindian, Pacific Beach, San Diego, and do some tattooing at Avalon Tattoo in beautiful Pacific Beach. Of course I’m planning on getting wet every morning before work. See you in the line up.
new friends
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.
