Almost FINished

Redwood fins in place......

Nuff Respect to the Grey Ghost himself. Taken matters into his own hands!

Oh yea..... thanks to Mama Falcone also for letting us take up her parking spot.

Summer glass......

We got a little taste of summer this past weekend so I headed over to Clams Casino for a little lesson in glassing a surfboard. Thanks Joe!!!!! This board would never have come to life without your help.

MTK Getaway.....

We decided that after a hectic few weeks of work related stress and fear that we deserved a break. We did get a break, but I think Willis may well have had the most fun. I'm not sure. You be the judge.

We ran into these beautiful faces. Nice to see them outside of the urban jungle.A few cold ones and some good laughs and smiles in the Montauket backyard.
Then some lobster back at the "resort" that we picked up from the friendly gentleman at St. Peter's catch. (highly recommend it)Easy like Sunday morning.......

That's right!!!!!!!A dozen or so freshly plucked from our tasty dog.....A quick swim.........some Montauk mind control....then the drive back to BK.

Bass in your face!!!!!

Construction on the first of four 18" Super Scooper has been completed. I'm pretty sure the friend I am making these for will become hard of hearing. I'm really enjoying this design so I think I will scrap the sound I built for myself some years ago and build some of these instead.

One problem......... these are huge and I live in NY. Storage space is limited. Anyone care to house these if I build them? Get your stomachs ready for some gut wrenching bass.
Anyone interested in these?
(the one's built previously)

"FIN"ished

I finished foiling the redwood fins and now I am ready to glass. I need to place an order for the supplies. I can't wait to get out on this little rocket.

Training Day!

On Sunday, Monia and I were lucky enough to get to hang out with our good friends Chris and Erin's lovely daughter Ida. We took her to the park for the afternoon so that the parents could rest and relax a bit, which I know now after only an afternoon of having a kid, was well deserved.

Ida is one of the most beautiful little girls I know and it was a treat to spend some time with her. Speaking of treats, we spoiled her a bit with ice cream and a huge chocolate chip cookie. I guess it was good training for Monia and I. One day, not too soon........hehe.
