4.2 miles this morning - I'm pretty confident I can make it to the end of the week as I now think I can remember which direction the traffic comes from this side of the Atlantic. Its kind of nice that cars (mostly) give way to pedestrians and cyclists - how refreshing.
I'm looking forward to a delivery from Wood Surfboard Supply soon - a really cool project to get stuck into once we get back home. Something very special too, and a nice retro twist.

Free (ish) templates

Who says you get something for nothing... Well almost. Donate here: http://www.sirbobbyrobsonfoundation.org.uk/ = its cancer research, and we kind of have family links.

Get free templates - 6'4 or 5'7 mini Simmons. Or a pig, nugget or longboard available soon. Drop me an email or add a comment here.
I'm also doing the Great North run on 16th September so raising money with sponsorship also. Wish me luck - going for 2 hours dead on this worlds biggest half marathon.

mini simmons templates.

Its been quiet on the board building front lately but since finishing the mini simmons there's been a bit of interest in the templates - if you fancy making your own then drop me an email and I can send you a set of full size plans for my wooden version. Just let your conscience decide how much you would like to donate for them - this is a great organisation in the North East, so just follow the donate button here:

dipped in blanket diaganol EMO longboard.

Never got round to posting the latest longboard = 9'8" evolution longboard, designed by dennis hanson (dirtycrows surfboards) in florida. was in a gloomy place at the time of glassing so the resin job got a little crazy. I like it though, and at 16lbs not too heavy. Thanks to rootedorigin.com for the paulownia = will be back for more. Worked a treat for the pivot fin also = 2.5 planks in total, and all shorter than the finished board = diaganol is good.
