Three weeks of midweek swell!!!!! Arrrrgh





























Nice place to carve :-)





Yes that has been the dilema great swell during the week and onshore winds at the weekend. Thankfully there have been my projects. A quad fin hull bit of an experiment really, a single fin hull and a skateboard that I made from some left over Paulownia and Red Ceder with Hardware from Paris Trucks and Orangatang wheels I need to add the laser cut Alloy pads to stop the bolts pulling through. The Deck also has three layers of 4oz glass in the centre and then two 4oz top and two 4oz bottom, it rides so smoothly it is really awesome :-).




AND THEN...........there has been a silver thread magicaly woven into the past week in the form of a local discovery that has allowed me to gain a little bit of stoke when its two hours drive to the nearest break!
Bullen Bowl. well not really a bowl more of a quarter pipe snake run that is perfect for old school cruising and after a couple of runs I was feeling the buzz! entry into the little to bowl at the top and then carve your down to the head high bowl at the end, it was fun fun fun and just at the point when I really needed a surf!. So gratefull I am for such perfect coincidences.
