You've definitely got a distinctive but still classic style to all your tikis no matter what culture they're based on. How cool you've got a local bar that appreciates your talent and you can really go to town decking the place out! The waves have been nice round these parts lately - I just wish I wasn't so busy that I could check it more often. I've still managed to sneak in some fun sessions on either side of the rivermouth in recent weeks...I'd normally be looking at my 5/4/3 and hood around now but it still feels like summer here. If this is global warming I'm gonna start burning coal again!
