500 on the 31st

Well this wasn't planned at all...my 500th blog post falling on the final day of 2009...shit, this better be prolific.



'09 has been the biggest year of my life; board building transformed from me chasing people and building what i thought everyone wanted, to me letting it go and allowing my creativity to be what brings new opportunities and new shapes.  That alone has freed me more than I could ever explain, because at the very core of building boards and all of this stuff, its just plain what I love to do.

There are lots of good things happening already for the first month of 2010, there'll be a couple articles coming out shortly that I am extremely flattered by, I set up a newsletter to send out info on deals and sales and stock boards for sale, and lots of new models coming down the pipe for you guys to scope out and ride...not to mention some pretty cool shirts too (new designs) that'll be cheap, 'cause expensive shirts idn't quite where my head is at :)

A few other big things are goin' down this year, but i'll wait to explain those ones 'till later...until then, thankyou guys for allowing me to do the work that I do, and giving me the feedback that I need to keep pushing it forward!

Raph's New One



Got kinda funky with Raph's new board (7' x 21" x 2 3/4")...It's been a while since I've done any pinline work so this one took me back!!  Did a birght kind of Olive tint over the Paulownia wood for kicks, it came out at 8 lbs.

From Afar

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope you're all with family and friends, making the most of the time you have together and the relationships that we all share.  I write from the Pac. Northwest, my homeland, cedar and alder trees all around, I'll be back by the ocean soon but its always good to be reminded what we all have in our lives...

Love your family, care for your friends, and wholly enjoy the moment that you are in!











ps........what did you get for christmas??!?!?!?

Nicky's Hullibut is a little bit modified and seems to be gettin' the job done :)

also, take a second to sign up for the mailing list i just started the other day, I'll be putting up the monthly board offer (discounts on custom boards!) there, rather than the blog, as well as updates on the newest experiments and info on soon-to-come models!  no spam, nothing too awkward, just an email every few weeks with the latest happenings!
