shop supplies

a few more new arrivals perched themselves on our shelves yesterday

boots and gloves chock full 'o subtle innovations.

...We look to shore at the trees and he shows me two trees- and he says, “ EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS ABOUT ALIGNMENT ”. You’ve got to line things up carefully...

- Doc Paskowitz on wisdom passed from George Downing

On the way in last night, cars are stacked all through the neighborhood. all spots taken... except... the Presidential space, RIGHT in front. we park, and right then a dozen people shuffle out of the water. surfed small perfect reelers with good friends, one paddle takeoffs... untill dark.

Doc & George: you're a pair of wise men

ps. darthvadar swine has an unworldly glide. test drive #3 in the bank

less blog updates = more surf

a good bit of swell has filled in nicely over the past 2 days now.

logged test drive #2 of my freshly/stealthy restored 1957 pig last night. it goes real good. having slaved hours and hours- all of 'em frigid, this winter and spring getting her ready- it feels mighty good to ride it finally.

Past due shop update from yesterday = Anthony scooped up his buttery-smooth nineplus farmer long. Thanks 'buddy ! Saw him @ the beach later that day, and he was all grinns. mission accomplished.
