Garage Modification

I feel like I am in a constant battle with the layout of the garage. If I could I would probally knock out the back wall and extend the length by another ten feet. But as it is that is not happening. I am trying to put the home gym together. given the fact that I cannot run anymore due to abuse on my knees in the past(skateboarding, excessive running, motocross, surfing,etc,etc) I have decided to get the stationary bike out again, and train, not to the extreme but to the pooint of just feeling good. I would like to start running again, but knowing what it will do to my knees again,stops me. so that is about all. the little queen is down for her nap, no surfing this weekend, daddy duties call hope some swell sticks around for after the weekend. bye for now

My Quiver

These are my boards at current I think that I have the whole spectrum covered from knee high to overhead..... check my rad paint jobs!!

005 Strange Flora

Sorry for the long pause in between postings, seems life has started anew with the arrival of SF 005. A 5'7 19 1/2 x 2 3/8 vision of beauty, as well as a beast on the water . Shaped by Chris Errico of Strange Flora Surfboards ( my brother in law, as i like to say) because it is easier to say that then Jackie's sister Jeannine's Boyfriend(quite a mouthful) the amount of time I waited for this board made it so worth it, the first paddle out with it was on a small day with chest high close-outs, but wicked little waist high waves that lined up perfectly, I as a surfer can almost always tell right away if a board is going to work, and this board works, first wave backside and a little lipper the deal was sealed. I highly regard Chris as a good shaper with only a few boards under his belt his design aspect and fine detail in the shaping carry out in his finished product, from blank to glassing he is a one man show(very, very impressive) I see good things coming for him with his shaping. How many people can say that they have an in-famliy shaper? Second session on the board proved to me even more that he is a wizard with the planer, as a swell filled in from a passing tropical depression, chest high lines with some juice and fairly rippable, saw a joy inside me not filled in a long time surfing. new boards do have a way of doing that, but once again boards that work well. only cement that feeling. speed down the line, good transition into and out of floaters, barrell action as well. her formal name is Strange Flora 005, I like to call her the dump trucket!!! kudo's Chris cant wait for the next one.... I would also like to thank Jeannine for the most radical handmade boardbag on the face of gods green earth, I wish her much luck in the pursuit of taking them to the top!!!! (picture coming soon, as well as a lik to her online shop) Now back to waiting for the next swell to fill in, there saying windswell for the nesxt couple of days...
