archeology












here we have the beginning phases of unearthing/resurrecting 2 old boards given to me by a good friend. many waves, many stories already embedded in the sun-aged glass. sea tramps. hags. salty dogs. i've surfed the yellow one despite its need for some basic repairs. it loves point breaks (steamer lane's perfect sand bars this winter). the blue fish needs lots of therapy. i've replaced the tail (both sides) and done loads of glass work and sanding. she still needs a hot coat and some more sanding... these are acts of love for boards otherwise destined to collect dust and go forgotten. today; a little break in the craziness, able to surf the favorite home break with some favorite people. sun, waves, happiness. cant wait to introduce these 2 new boards of mine to the central coast of oregon.
