last summer not much around the coast in the way of banks on the beaches, quick little waves with a little float section on the end, just hope this summer wont be this same. photos by Mr Hall(surferjoe)
Mr Hall, a school teacher, musical magician, surfer of all crafts and around nice guy has just taken ownership of a new 5'6 2+1, i love the colour and the decals that he picked.
i love on the central coast how we have so many great breaks for all diffrent swells and winds, you can always find a wave anytime, this is the promised land.
this little number has been sitting in the shed unfinished for awhile, i was really stocked to finish this puppy up, still waiting for the swell to come up for its first run.+3.JPG)
now that pam is gone, i have a new bike to get me too and from work, thanks to Ben at jellybeanbike.com.au from melbourne, single speed or fixie, you get to choose the colours from frame to tyres, supa fun, unreal to deal with and cheap if you just want a slick ride.
two weeks ago got into abit of a bingle with 4 other car, i was number 3 and coped a landcruiser with a bull that wrote off PAM.
alway love playing with colours and working out tints for board, then seeing them come together when the board is finished.
been poping in in lays of 4oz in the tails and decks, apart from looking really cool, they keep the board light and strong.
iv been making all my boards out of quite large blanks which require alot of planning, by the end i look like a yetti and there is a good inch of planing foam on the floor, it is nice to transform a big block of foam to a profiled sliding machine.
new boards comming through for the new ADRIFT store up at the Entrance in the main street, its going to be a cool store, they will have 3 of these's boards will be hanging out there for a bit. There will be a 6'6 2&1 stubby, 5'6 quad stubby and a 6'0 2&1 stubbie. The orange one is a good friend joe's.
i wish i could be a fish, i love the floating feeling under water, so nice and relaxing.
been really busy the last couple of weeks, iv had 6 boards on the go, thats alot for me, but its been nice to spend some time in the shed. Above is a fresh 9'4 log shaped for dave, nice 50/50 rails, should be fun to ride.
Its an art to write the dimensions on a freshly shaped board, you dont want to stuff it up and you want it to look natural and neat, after 40 years of shaping. Thats how its done.
I love going up to my dads shed and spending time just hanging out and watching, i learn so much. I ask alot of questions and get alot of answers that helps me with my boards. 
Pauly, a good friend of mine has been waiting for this board for the last few months now, im glad to say that it is good to go, 6'0 quad its the same shape as the 2x2 quad that i made for myself, so i hope he has many killa surfs on it.
Its amazing how that something so simple such as a templet is the main tool that you need to shape a board, its abit of ply wood but has the most important information.
I find it amazing that todays boards, you know the 6'1 thruster, will they look this amazing when there old and hidding out in someones shed, will we never hold onto and try and find and hunt down gems like we do with the 30-40 year old boards.
what i love about surfing is that its simple, all you need is transport, boards and shorts.
i just finished a new 9'2 pig, supa happy with the board and its got the new horse fin on it.
So i wanted something a bit crazy for my fin on my new mal, so i went to lincraft and came across this little gem.
