Woodworking Celebration

There was a woodworking party/celebration after classes were over this past weekend, where everyone who wanted could show off their work - there were a few hundred people there, and a lot of people's work, which was awesome. It was a huge pot luck also, and raffle prizes were there too, so needless to say, it was pretty fun!

First morning with second wooden board

First day out on the new board the other morning - wasn't the best of waves, but I was antsy to get out there and get in the water and feel the board some. All in all, I caught three waves in about an hour - not that good of conditions, but they were fun rides, and I got to feel the smoothness of this guy - can't wait to get on some more :)


 Classic "on the beach, ready to go out and adventure" pic

 I like him

 It was gray, slightly windy, and I'm not gonna lie, not that good of waves...., but oh well


 Classic "smile after the first wave caught on your new board" pic



It floats!
