Welcome Back :)

I want to send out a huuuuuuge thank you to everyone who helped my cobble my trip together as it progressed; I'm always very fortunate to spend my time with amazing people when I travel and I couldn't possibly scoot around so well cared for without some seriously amazing people, so thank you all, you know exactly who you are!

Welcome back to Santa Barbara...This is why we pay through the nose to live here and why no matter how awesome places that I go to are, why Santa Barbara is still home.

We were blessed with a beautiful little afternoon of swell and sunshine, I watched Connor and Brandon trim the day away from the cliff with a tweaked paw...

I'm stoked to be back, looks like the Whales were too!

My 5'6 kneelo from 2006/2007...She's alive and still going strong, but in need of a new variation soon, I think :)

This board taught me a lot about flex and the advantage of kneeboard-level positioning on certain wave types. I built this board in preparation for my first Flex Spoon, which happened about two years later:

Finless at Lennox

In this episode of Rabbit's Footery we've got mr.Ari Browne of Byron Bay, Australia...Give it a gander. Finless funkery at its finest, at one of the most photogenic places I've ever seen, Lennox Head:

Parting Shots

Friends were made.

Spoons were made

Tubes were made.

Thanks Oz <3

Ari Browne @ Lennox with the Rabbit's Foot/Bunny Stronghand/the Chihuahua's Face...

Ari is 19 and blew me away when I saw him surfing the Rabbit's Foot; with less than 8 sessions on it he was absolutely destroying on it.

Always in the pocket and in tune with the wave's speed and the board's ability to utilize it. Ari is now the owner of that variation of the Foot and I'm sure some interesting things will take place between them at home in Byron Bay; I'm pretty stoked I decided to shape and glass that one the day before I left for Oz!
