It works!

soaring
after first wave! beyond pumped!



fish outta water, or fish in water


he was eager to get in...

Oh man, first day with my first board I (and melissa maher) made. It was 45 degrees out this morning, which obviouswasn't ideal, but it made the 57 degree water feel warm for once! i ran from the car to the water in excitement, and to try to warm up. went to northside of HB pier, and the waves were a bit slow with the higher tide,but still good 2-3 foot size and fun! first ride was super short, but the next one was a good left! i was so pumped just to ride it, and on top of that for it to actually feel good! although it could have really felt like crap and i would have imagined that as perfection with the mindset i was in! didn't mess up on any of my first few waves, so that felt good. it's still easy to paddle and catch the waves, but feels a bit looser than my other boards which is awesome. got a lot of rides this morning, mostly lefts, but some good rights and yea, it was awesome. pretty incredible feeling. can't wait for tomorrow morning now! supposed to be a bit bigger, so we'll see how it handles.

Kitchen bookshelf and recipe holder

almost got a good shot of this guy, but oculdn't get the camera out fast enough. got out to surf a couple times this weekend but the waves were really small so i still haven't taken out my new board. waiting for a good day to take it out!

bookshelf!

found a few pieces of really nice cedar in an alley a couple weeks ago and used a piece on saturday to make this!
