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

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
