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-

There was this cool project
planned in Santa Barbara that
would show the increasing water
levels in the city if Greenland
turned into slush.

However, the project has been
generating controversy, because
real estate developers realized
that any buildings on the “wrong
side” of the light blue
line would be hard to sell. Doh!

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

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

Iguanas are common at Harmony
Gardens. The iguana in this
picture has the house just in
front of the main Restaurant
outside deck in the middle of one
palm tree.

Here is the next stop at the
Mercado Central to buy loofahs
from Jeffry.
This is an incredible maze of
stalls from vegetables, herbs,
plastic wares, leather goods,
tee-shirts, kitchenwares, flowers
and yes, even loofahs.

I am so pleased to present
coconut oil, for sale, in the
bookstore, here at the Harmony
Hotel packaged in local bottles
by the Healing Centre of Radiant
Awakening.

This coconut oil is handmade by a
Costa Rican family on the east
coast side of Costa Rica in a
little beach town called Playa
Cocles.

There are many benefits to this
beautiful oil, to name a few:

This little guest is climbing our
Healing Centre reception desk.
Is he coming to make an
appointment or applying for work?

Some rumours floating around are
some people ‘lick’ frogs while
others kiss them for various
kinds of results??!!

Personally it isn’t quite my thing
so I just let this little guy
know that there was room for work
here if he was into being part of
our permaculture solution for
mosquitos.
