A few days later

Last week

Prezi's got nice form!

I know. I'm late.

I finally saw this movie. Pretty cool. The old footy is great. If you have not seen it yet, come on over.

And now you know!

I'll take all the help I can get

New Poster

I asked my friend Nate to make me a new poster and this is what he came up with. Nate is a talented artist. Check him out at nathanloveland.com

September Sessions

I remember watching the body surfing during this segment and thinking "Wow they are getting barreled longer than I ever have on a board". I used to love this movie

Sold to Robby!

The glossy poly I used on this one came out really nice. Robby is stoked!

What now?

I have been doing all my shaping outside.  With fall and winter coming I need to set up shop inside. Dust everywhere will not make the wife happy. Anyone have any ideas for a garage setup?

Delivery

I delivered this handplane to Living Water last weekend. Ed was running the front desk as the shop was buzzin and chuck as helping someone with a board. Chuck is one of the most helpful shop owners, giving personal attention to everyone who walks in. He is tuned in with all his equipment and will get you riding what is right for you. Get in there and support your local surf shop. livingwatersurfco.com  By the way, the handplane sold as a birthday present for someone. New handplanes will be there soon. Check um out!

New Color

I like the color on this one! Things are going to turn around soon waves wise. This will be at Living Water on Monday.   Who wants it?

Back in the day with Mark C

Night Plane!

Went handplaning the other night after work with Robby and Sheila. Warm water, green bioluminescence and small fun waves made for a super fun time.  

New Poster

Thanks Matt and Deb for your work on the logo.  The RI red is our state bird and the stem in its mouth is  a Rosa Rugosa stem. Rosa Rugosa is the Latin name for beach rose or rose hips. They are found all around our surf spots.

Ready for stain

I was going to go surfing this morning with Mike and Dan. Buoys looked small so I busted these out instead.  I love the grain on the pintail. 

For MIke

This one went to Mike. Look for him getting shacked around Narragansett. Mike gets more water time than anyone I know. Short board, longboard and now hand planing..he does it all. 

Be prepared!

I am so glad I came prepared the other day with fins and handplane in the trunk. Given the choice I will always surf, but sometimes the waves are not tempting enough. After about 15 minutes of checking the spots and trying to talk myself into what looked to be a poor at best session, I turned to Dave and said "You wanna handplane?" All about options!  

Ready for delivery

These are headed out to Living Water Surf Co in Little Compton. Stop by and say hi to Chuck and Will.

Sew your own

The Singer

I am learning how to sew to make my straps. Thanks to Dan for helping me out.

Old Neoprene

What do you do with a small mountain of old wetsuits? 

I have been holding on to these things for a long time not wanting to send them to the Johnston landfill. I finally have a use for them. Old neoprene will be repurposed for hand pads and straps.

A few new ones
