Boy, January sure is going fast. After
getting in for my first surf of the year on New Year’s day, I headed off for a
week in Hawaii. Town was pretty consistent for this time of year, so I happily got
my fill out at Three’s and Kaiser’s… it was so nice to shed the winter wetsuit.
This year I was stoked to run across Eddie Aikau’s board at the Quikilver shop
on Kalakaua. I spent probably an hour looking at it and running my hands along
the rails…just a thing of beauty and power. It’s so nice of the Aikau’s to let
the public see it. Each year I go into that shop to look at the beautiful Takayama
“Pacific System’s Homes” styled board they have in there, and now they’ve also
got a nice agave gun (I think it’s a Downing). Really nice stuff. Gets me thinking
about what to build this year.
New Year's day surf...
Eddie's board. It's crazy watching tourists walk past this without a second glance, it's probably the most famous board in the history of surfing. When I saw it I stopped dead in my tracks. I feel so lucky, I never thought I'd actually get to see it.
My builds for 2014. What to make in 2015?...hmmmmm...
