Crazy things happen in the shaping bay, especially when you have been huffing epoxy all weekend. The secret 6'6" gets a bottom laminate in coke bottle green. The deck patch is next up with a design that came to me in a dream. This board is a complete mystery, I don't even know what is going to happen next!?
The Ghost Knife finally went home this Friday night. Upon seeing the board for the first time Scott gave a resounding fist pump - knee up, with a "Yes!!!" This man is stoked and I can't wait to see him surf it. It was an absolute pleasure shaping you this board Scotty, I hope that it serves you well.
Welcome to the world of surfboard building and surfing in the Great Lakes. Though our waves can't compete with most major breaks in the world, we do get plenty of decent surf, without the crowds. Some people compare surfing on the lakes to what surfing used to be on the ocean in the 60's and 70's. We are still trying to figure out what type of boards work well in fresh water, there are many undiscovered surf spots, and the community here is among the most welcoming. So here we are, enjoy.
