Bush Barrel

I saw this on Dane Peterson's new blog and at the risk of regurgitating someone elses work, i just had to share it. Someone at Ryobi has a sense of humor, and i like it.

Aircon

Stubby 3

Second lam coat. A little extra bush pepper on account of glassing outside but otherwise not too bad.

Good times

The surf wasn't great but everyone was having fun. I can't think of a much better way to start the day.

The Stubby 2

I spent some quality time with sand paper and planer today and finished shaping the stubby. Its a really nice feeling, to see and hold something that has has, until now, only existed in a little corner of your brain.
I even got to slap on a double six on the top before dark, a white pigment with just a few drops of apple green.

Wax & Water

My good friend Karl begun his documented 56 days of surfing this week.
See how he goes here.

The Stubby

There's a board that iv'e been itching to play with, itching to ride, and itching to own. An arc tail, hull bottom Stubby. However i have only ever seen them on blogs and vids. So after wrestling with the outline for a while and grabbing lines from different boards i began shaping today.

Old Friends

I found these two boards under my friends house last week.
One is a 5'8" Barry Bennett single with fluted fliers, the other a 5'6" Crozier flex tail knee board with a beautiful sweeping flex fin. Pure Summer Lovin Fun

Ahh Australian Summer

Early bird, No worms

Unfortunately there wasn't many waves to be had on this morning but its always nice to be down there just to watch the sun climb out of the water and throw that orange light across the waves.

Flotsam

Like two sessions in one day

early low tide

later hi tide, go figure..
