I wanted to say thank you to all of you.

I am fortunate to currently be able to fit in lots of surfing and tiki carving into my life. I must say life is good, you can tell by looking at my belly. However, I say this keeping my fingers crossed because life can change in a blink of an eye.

Kaha ki'i,

I am totally digging your bone carvings. Maybe if I am rich enough one day I would love to commission a piece from you. You're a lucky man living in your warm water paradise.

Lake,

We are birds of a feather with our surf/tiki style. Quite often I can be heard bitching about how cold the water is here in Santa Cruz. However we are softies compared to you. I hope that our paths cross one of these days.

Alldo & Surfintiki,
I am a lucky man to be able to surf almost everyday and I know it. Santa Cruz is a wonderful place to live if you surf and/or mountain bike. The only reason there is a belly on me is beer, I think. Especially since I bike three days a week and surf whenever there is waves. It is time for me to give up the oat sodas and switch to unfiltered sake.

Johnny P & Bete,

Thank you for the plugs. As an artist It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside whenever I get praise from fellow artists/ enthusiasts. Lately I have been avoiding the computer whenever possible. I think if it wasn't for Tiki Central my home computer would be gathering cobwebs. I have some tikis under construction that I am super excited about and can't wait to show you all.

Chongolio,

What's up dude?
We live in the same town, but I hardly ever see you. We should get together sometime for a dinner/ brew. I have seen all the new artwork that you have at Aloha Grill and it looks killer.

You guys/galls are legends,
Will
