Up until about two weeks ago, I was without a computer of my own for a while because my laptop, which had been with me for about 8 years, finally died (maybe "was killed" would be more correct: it fell off the couch). As a result, I wasn't using the computer much, and as a result of that, I didn't really update this blog at all. But now I've got a new computer (which is like Heaven on Earth compared to my old one), so I figured I better post something on here, before I lose my vast following to another extremely popular blog.
Also, now I've got something surfboard-making-related to blog about. Above, you'll see Strange Flora 010. It's for Frank, and it's about time he gets himself on a fish and finds out what surfing's all about.
It's a quad, as seen above, with the dimensions being 5'5 25/32" x 20 3/8" x 2 3/8". I would have preferred it if he wanted something about an inch wider, and with big glass-on keels, but that might be pushing it for ol' Frank. Anyhow, it looks like it will be a really fun board, and it feels really good to be shaping again.
Also, I'm back at work (after about 3 1/2 months on the DL), which is where this bird visited us. He smashed into a glass slider and was stunned for about 10 minutes, but he eventually got better and flew away.
Back at work means back to surfing as well, and it's been really, really good to surf again for the last half of the summer. Now, for the real waves of Fall!
This blog was started as a way to chronicle my adventures into surfboard shaping and just surfing in general. Since its inception, it has evolved into a log of whatever I feel like rambling about and sharing with the world, including, but not limited to: photographs, bicycles and bicycling, film, music, gardening, cute pictures of Henry, and more.
