Quit braggin Mooney - my board has dust on it. I hate Summer flatness. Keepin my eyes on the horizon.

Warm water whats THAT! Id pee my self.

Like i said I'm on a good roll this summer more surfing and less carving thus far.
Next week its the week surf trip to Lapush, with my bro and the dogs.

Man you are going on a 32 day VAC how nice is that!

consider yourself lucky to have waves. gotta wait for the winter here in houston, and a storm out at sea for waves that are even considered rideable. and the water is a frigid 65 (?). water was 91 last week and had 3 foot waves that broke and disappeared. enough to get on your knees and fall over. well it's fun to try.

S

CC - Thanks. Yes the nose is tuff. So many is right. I always struggle with the nose. It's hard to recover from bad cuts on the nose.

Stoked for you on this one, Craig!

I love the direction he's going.

I've been jonesing to get back to the logs.

Too much going on, hope to get back to them after the trip to SoCal.

Getting any surf these days?
Had a few swells roll in here, but the weather has been pretty calm lately. Not complaining, its been warmer than normal.
I'm gonna get me some salty ones in Orange County for sure though!

S

Dave - Mahalo. Some salty ones (funny). Not much surf Been working to much, but

Yes, should be about time for an update, Si?

surfintiki - Mahalo on the you nose. Hope you had a blast on the island (im sure you did)

tikigodz - Thanks I hope to be done by the middle of summer.

GMAN- thanks man for the drop buy. It means allot.

Benz - Take care of your nose I nose you will. Im scared of the
eyes I have been worried out them like crazy.

GROG - Update just for you Sir.



SO "F"'in ShaWeEeEeEeeettttt! Perfecto-matic even.
This looks a lot like the big beasts I saw around the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu...but YOURS is better!
Go seeks.
It's really beautiful.

Seeks you are simply among the best tiki chizzlers around. Fess up...are
you sticking the logs into a big ole motorized computerized carving thing
that eventually spits out another perfect tiki? And probably even eats up all
of the wood chips too.
Outa site.....great work.

TT

Wow hot stuff! That's an awesome piece of work.Hang Loose!!!
