Surfboards I'm Currently Shaping

Aloha Tribe,

So, at the moment, out in the barn, I'm working on 4 sticks. One is a solid wood Longboard. One, a solid bamboo Pigboard. One, a Twinnie Pig Shortboard from PU (polyurethane) - perfect for The Wilds. And the third is another is a Classic Retro Longboard.

At the moment, on the solid wood Longboard, I'm working on the rails. This board is Old-School, no skeg, turns with  your foot, weighs roughly about 100 pounds. . With the late'60's Vietnamese Jungle Style bamboo Pigboard I'm glueing the bamboo as well as the bamboo skeg. And on the two PU's, I'm working on their rockers.

It's nice to shape boards. It lets you get exactly what you want and need. Working in the barn, with the doors flung wide or shaping out in the yard on a sunny day, feels right out of the great surf movie Morning of the Earth, especially living in the country like I do, with wilds all about me.

You Should Have Been Here An Hour Ago by Phil Edwards

Aloha Tribe,

My neighbor just gave me  a 1st edition mint condition copy of the truly magical book You Should Have Been Here An Hour Ago. It is truly a beautiful book.

I absolutely love it!!! Reading the book just so fills me with stoke and dreams and Aloha smiles.  I spent a good portion of yesterday reading the book outside in the beautiful sunshine, and, I shall do that today again too, over my breakfast of grilled fish tacos cooked outdoors on my cast iron hibachi. I realize the book is long since out of print, and, almost impossible to find, so, I highly suggest that some publisher somewhere republish this incredible book. It shares so much about what surfing was like during the 1950's and 1960's and there's just tons of ideas to explore and dream about.

A freshly grilled fish taco for breakfast, a great book, warm sunshine, beautiful waves, what more could a girl want!!!
