I was away for most of October – mining – and cleared the decks before going. This gave me the chance to deal with a few long finger projects when I was home now and then. This long overdue Aileen’s board finally got sanded and I’ve even taken it for a surf since – although I only managed to catch a single wave… Felt good and solid though.
7’8 x 18 5/8″ x 2 11/16″. (6+6)+(6+6) = 4.9kg.
Dan and Reed on the road again. Happily, I’m not sure if this steed is looking quite as shaky as the ‘Mother-ship’ in ’05, but one thing is for sure – those freshly pressed Gildan’s are smoking!
These two shapes should be knocking around San Sebastian
6’3 x 19″ x 2 5/8″ for Patagonia’s Euro Surf Manager and serial sleep deprivation artist – Jake Setnika.
5’11 x 20 7/8″ x 2 1/2″ Bobsled with yellow pigment. This one is a demo board for the Patagonia Surf Shop in San Sebastian, Basque Country, Spain. So, if you’re wondering how these puppies ride and you’re in the area, you know where to look!
This could be worth keeping an eye on – or even attending if you can swing it – especially considering our recent experience with the pier in Doolin.
This group of interested parties are gathering to basically share knowledge on how to stop surfing waves getting destroyed. They plan to answer the following core questions:
How to define the value of a wave?
What are the threats to the waves?
What strategies can be put in place in order to protect them?
Important questions!
6’2 x 20 1/2″ x 2 5/8″ for Nadia. (4+4)+4 = 3.5kg
Nadia’s Mum and Aunt warmed my heart by disappearing off blackberry picking while Nadia was having a look at her new bobsled!
