A True Legend!!!!!!!

Did I ever think that I would be chatting with Tony Alva?? A true Legend for real!!! And a genuinely nice guy!!

These days he said he is addicted to riding Simmons inspired surfboards like the Casper, and he was stoked on my wood version when he saw the photo on the Shipworm & Gribble blog. He said he never rode a wood surfboard and he wants to ride it next time he comes to New York. He said he wants to bring a few boards out for me to try too.

I'm lacking words to describe how honored I am.

Respect to RK, Simmons, and Bauguess for the inspiration.

And Thank You Tony!!!

I ain't fraid of no ghost!!

Big Thanks to Joey Grey Ghost Clams for helping me to bring this Bob Simmons inspired mini Casper the ghost inspired woody to life. 5'3"x23x2 3/8. Fins and glass soon come!

Spring are you there????

Saturday drive out to the end of the isle.......

It was mad cold and windy..............Yea cold!!!No waves at ditch, but willis didn't mind.........
On the way home we stopped in Amsterdam....After that we were hungry so we decided to make some pizza. My dough slinging could use a lesson or two from Luigi......It was damn good though.Sunday we woke up and gave Fellini a bath. He was a little pissed.Then enjoyed a taste of spring in Central Park.

keep on keepin on

My skills are crude but I'll keep on tryin'..............

My wife's on the other hand are not so crude!!
An amazing moqueca de camarão (shrimp stew in a traditional brasilian clay pot) hand crafted by Mônia herself!! Capixaba styleeeee of course. (one from the state of Espirito Santo in Brasil).

A liitle paipo in the making for Brian Lentini and his students to replicate. Every year he holds a one week workshop where he and his students get to let loose on building some cool isht!!
Last year they made chopper bicycles, and this year they will give it a go with some hollow paipo's and skateboards.

And these guys are always around to experience it all.

Big Brother Willini

These 2 are amazing!! Fellini loves to play with Willis' tail. It's pretty funny.
And Willis is definitely the gentle giant.

Fellini

A new addition to our family. Say hello to 8 week old "Fellini"
