Perchance, the triple stringer was cleaned??
If so, don't you feel better now?
Now I don't have to have Billy sick Laird on you...
Heh. Yeah, I was going to keep that one messy until the cows came home, just to spite the unknowing hoi polloi, but figured I shouldn't let any crudely unjustified statements come between me and my duty.
Frankly though, she is almost dead. Whatever that previous owner did to her has stuck. She is delamming again in the worst way and I'll have to cut her up to re-glass. She'll be relegated to opportune use after that. A fitting retirement.
All this means I'll have to get a new longboard, which gives me the willies. I hate buying new stuff.
Look at it as an opportunity to have some great stoke with your surfing life...
A friend - surfer since 1964 - just had Billy Hamilton shape him a new board. He's in NYC and Billy in HI. Mostly phone and some faxes. Billy was one of our heroes from the long board era through the transition days and beyond.
Bill was stoked to do it - my bud was stoked to get it - it's off to the Maldives in the fall - and it's a long board...
No willies - just fun...
Surfing since 1964...
The Art Brewer Hamilton photographs are a beacon of style and ability. I was so excited that I lucked into that board when I did, for such a low price, even if it was messed up.
I've never really "put the time in" to get to know the nuances of boards so much that I could dictate what I'd want in a shape.
I've been lucky enough to have been fed a steady supply of used longboards over the years. Some as free gifts, many as "dumpster-esque" finds like that poor Bill Hamilton.
In California I've ridden a bunch of shapes that all do something a little different. Sometimes tankers, sometimes toothpicks, sometimes thruster longboards, sometimes I've broken the skegs off and glassed a single fin into the box.
But today I happened upon a board that really got my heart beating. I went into Pilgrim a few days ago and looked through all the boards and nothing really got that pit of my stomach to turn. But today I went over to converse about something else entirely and spotted this crazy Jim Phillips Copy Cat. The lines, the weight, the feel. It just has this amazing quality that begs to be explored.
Any thoughts on that?
ugh so pricey..I have needed a new longboard for a solid 10 years..Im still needing one and I still get crushed by the price
Truly pricey. So terribly pricey.
