I got this epic email yesterday and really wanted to share it...this is how you spread stoke to someone saturated with it daily!!

Hi Ryan my name is Max. I am 15 years old and stoked on your boards. With winter right around the corner and a quiver without one of your sweet boards I am in a pickle. I have some money saved up in my piggie bank and I need to know how many more lawns I need to mow to be able to shred on an 8' V. Bowls this winter. Basically I was wondering how much an 8' V. bowls is going to cost me and how long it will take you to finish it.

thanks for reading this, Max.

P.S. Keep up the awesome blog it really gets me through my second period computer graphics class.

What a G.

My good friend Jonny P. and his new baby...Jonny's been wanting to get aboard a hull for a while now and he finally got a few waves on his friend's sled, we were on the phone nailing down his board before he was out of his wetsuit :)

I also wanted to throw out a quick thank you to EVERYONE who's been sending me emails for the past week and a half about the enjoyment of following my work here; it's my pride and joy sharing all the photos and info that I can.  The past couple of weeks have been really difficult to stomach but beyond productive and I coulnd't have asked for a better week to get all the notes you guys have been sending me!  What I post here is my life, my work and my friends...

so thank you for the encouragement...so much!
