Summertime

Now that its January and the water is cold I've started going through some summertime pictures to remind me how nice the water was just a few months ago. I have to say, out of all the pictures I have from the past summer this picture is one of my favorites. The waves weren't remarkable, it wasn't the best beach day of the year, but I do specifically remember my daughter asking me to take her to the beach. It wasn't as if she hasn't done that before or since, but when I saw this picture its was the first memory about that afternoon that popped in my head. Children change everything. They grow up fast, don't ever say no to them when they want to spend time with you.


An unmemorable wave on a memorable afternoon.

5'8" Quad Fish

5'8" Canard Fish that I shaped earlier in the year. I'll be sure to bring it to the NJ Fish Fry!!

I didn't have much free time this weekend, but I did get the fins glassed on on the Bonzer I've been working on. So, a little sanding around the fins and it will be ready for the hotcoat. I'm going to try the Resin-X 'Fast' formula for the hotcoat instead of the 'Slow' I've been using to laminate. Big thanks to Matt @ 3CD for the tips and help. I'm loving the Resin-X.

Bonzer 3 Progress

Tacked the 101 Fin Co Bamboo fins on tonight. Its supposed to warm up a lot over the next few days, up to around 60 degrees or so. I should be able to finish the board this weekend if time allows. All we need now are waves, its been flat.

Is it 1982 again?

Not exactly as I planned, but still pretty cool. 6'1" epoxy quad with a crazy resin tint. Doesn't surf too bad either.

Fins, Fins, Fins

My Bonzer center fin came today to compliment my siderunners. 101 Fin Co makes some beautiful fins from all types of wood. Check them out at 101fins.com when you have a chance. I'm going to hotcoat my bonzer as soon as its warms up a bit here, its currently 25 degrees outside now and my heater has a struggle to get above 55 in the old shaping bay right now. Not ideal temps to hotcoat in.
