RoseLee Goldberg, an art
professor, curator, and former
Harmony Hotel guest, just wrapped
up her week-long performance art
series in New York. Congrats to
RoseLee! Check out Artforum’s
coverage of Performa (ok, full
disclosure: I work there). Also,
what’s exciting is that,
last spring, I interviewed
RoseLee right in Harmony Hotel’s
very own open-air restaurant.
Expect excerpts of the interview
soon…

If any of you ever want to camp
out in the sahara?
let me know! i have the best
address. It was amazing!

I can not believe how time flies
by!
It is time for me to return to
Nosara soon to re open my Store.
We are very proud to announce
that our new location for the
upcoming winter
Season will be at the Harmony
Hotel in Nosara.

We traveled far and worked hard
to design a unique dress
collection for the women
who like to be a bit different.
Our dresses are not sized, and
fit every woman.

could this be the board that was
snapped in 2 ?? notice the reef
just below the surface there in
the water. that is some clear
water… where could this
be??

ok, so we’ve taken the 2 part
board, and put it back together
again. yes, maybe it is a little
heavier than it originally was,
but for that you get a board that
is now what is commonly known as
a tanker, and unless the waves
are so weak and slow and you’re so
fat ( er I mean heavy) that there
is a physical problem of being
able to catch the wave, once
you’ve got the wave a
tanker is really fun and actually
a lot easier to surf than a
lighter more ‘hi performance’
board-. again being fat like me-

once the wholes are patched and
smoothed with whatever you’ve got
( not critical ) it’s time to lay
out your glass. this is
structural and is worth planning
out. i always pretend it’s really
important and not just a
surfboard, and use splints as
inspiration, and also doing it in
such a way that if it breaks
again, it won’t be in that spot-
so ‘over engineering’ may also be
inspiration. in this case I’m
lining the break with several
small patches of fiberglass to
start with, with the idea that

whether or not it’s better than it
ever was, isn’t exactly the point-
the point is to keep the board in
circulation. there’s loads of
boards around and rather than
getting a new one ( unless it’s
from me of course!) is sooo not
resourceful. so, the board has
been jammed together and glued.
now peel all the old glass off
that is at all loose. the new
resin won’t adhere to old resin
with wax etc on it. peel away the
old stuff and rough up where
there’ll be a connection
with sandpaper. find yourself

Hi, I’ve never blogged before, but
here I go. I will try to provide
insights into my world, and my
world lately consists of making
surfboards, exhibiting them as
art ( all around the world
actually) and all the peripheral
stuff that goes along with being
an artist in NYC. Specifically, I
will be doing a demo in the next
few days on how to fix a
surfboard that has been broken
into 2 pieces. Rather than
tossing it, or turning it into a
kickboard or glueing several
pieces together to make a

Hey guys! Check out a million and
one photos from the fantastic
benefit a few weeks ago!

Lee Hirsch (whom I met at the
Harmony in January) had a New
York screening for his
documentary that aired on the
history channel.

Here we are, at his producer’s
house. He’s the one with the beer
right next to his face.
