8am, no one out, waist high glass, 10'2 of fun.

The world of JSD

Dropped in to see Justin (of the elusive JSD surfboards) on my way back from the guys at Homeblown. Great to see such an impressive shaping room, and the new biofoam blanks are just about to be put in to action. Will post up when we have some consistent looking shapes in the coming weeks.

Just keep paddling...

was all that was going through my mind today. Wind was onshore and the swell was seemingly a little onshore, not to mention some guys were out windsurfing. I had a quick panic as I dithered on the ridge wondering if i should go out. But as I didn't have my windsurf kit with me, and only a small window of time, I made a dash for the water. I grabbed the 6'3 fish and just paddled for the horizon. It was consistent punishment for about twenty minutes as I tried to head out back, so as the sun was out, I just kept battling on. When I finally reached the 'outside' it was a lot better than expected, and I watched the only other guy alongside doing 360's. In fact it was worth the paddle out just to see this guy, and despite the wind slop I still scored some decent rides. Wind looks perfect tomorow for some down the line sailing, but will have to see if work gets in the way.
