pesty being a pest.

the 48 hours of a day dream

so, i have been waiting for this board to find its way into existence for about 6 months. every time i'd pop into the boys factory, the half cut out blank haunted me. subtle hints lead to excessive harassment.... 
there was no point. the board did not yet exist, therefore the board couldn't exist.
it wasn't until returning from recent trip north, that this torture was going to end.
in a round-a-bout way i can thank 3 people for this board.
1. Mr. Lovelace for the inspiration
2. Jordan for taking the inspiration and shaping something special.
3. Myself for doing the rest.
on most of my boards i try to tinker on a little bit,
but this one i did everything except for shape the thing.....
thats next on the list.

anyway, its an asymmetrical hull.
good for going left. only problem being, there aren't many lefts in vicco.
when i can afford it i think ill take it on a date to NZ.
yesterday half glassed.
this morning sanding. 
 
 finish.
love.
jordan has one too, but mine is way better because its for lefts. 
i like this board alot.

keith richards is always a willing tag along - pic shaun freeman

at the start of today there were 2 unwaxed fresh new asymmetrical hulls that didnt exist a week ago.
there was never a chance that this board was getting a chance to cure.
so 2 green boards in tow, a keith richards, a shaun freeman, a jordan and myself all jumped in the car and went surfing. shaun and keith were our groupies. jordan was loving life because the rights were good.  the lefts weren't as lovley. i stood up.
considering i was missing 2/3rds of a board i felt that was a good achievement.
yep im a short boarder now. longboards are for schmucks. 

on an end note - in many ways this board feels like a reflection of my life at the moment....
....i must be shrinking. 
or maybe i have a warped perception like the Twits(Roald Dahl)....
