Tom Wegener

Originally seen on the brownfish This is real surfing, both the action and the lifestyle. I admire Tom for going from a LA lawyer to surfboard builder. So many people get caught up in life and arent willing to make sacrifices financially to improve the quality of the life they're living.

Sacred Craft

Sacred Craft surfboard expo! This was an amazing collection of surf-craft from Grain Surfboards to Lost's Placebo pop-outs. It was really cool to see how crowded the Grain booth was, since I've been following that company for a couple years. Interest in their boards just gets bigger and bigger. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to get one or two (or three). Danny Hess' booth was equally impressive. This was the first time I've seen his boards in person and was very impressed, Which isn't saying much since I'm such a novice, but hey, I liked them! The craftsmanship is incredible. From Robert August to Patterson, Patagonis to EZ Foam, everything shaper-related was there to drool over. Next year I'm going to set aside more time...

The Grain booth was a crowd favorite

My beautiful Hawaiian princess and her brother came along. I was loving the Tyler Warren art on this board.

Stripes!

The Biofoam booth was neat

Rich Harbour Passing out surf-wisdom

One of my favorites, Patagonia

My personal muse, Wilbur Kookmeyer

Danny Hess' boards really impressed me. Now I've got another board on my wish list!

Grain Demo

Grain Surfboards did a demo at Cardiff Reef this Friday morning. Its towards the end of their west coast tour.
The way they make these boards is amazing. Every one is an individual work of art.

Surfboard Show

Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo is coming this weekend. Del Mar fairgrounds in San Diego. I'll be working Saturday of course but Sunday morning bright and early!
