gun show

again, i got inspired by paul fisher. this will be THE GAME for our next SGC surf trip. the couch looks similar to interior of our baleal villa :-)

glassing

days get darker, temperature has fallen & mountains are covered with snow. definitely a sign that winter arrives in switzerland. in exact 10 weeks we'll celebrate the xmas evening. for those who don't have to chance to jump in a plane and enjoy these days in south america (e.g. me) it's a great occasion to spend more time in the shape room.

toby's board just got its top glassing. let's see if it'll be under his xmas tree :-)

spain 2012, done

it has been a wonderful time with family and friends in spain! we got good weather, great food&wine, surf, made new friends and had a few special moments in life we all shared together. fantastic!

beside the 1st birthday of our daughter it is also the anniversary of LL. after reviewing my first year of landlocked surfboards i can be rather happy with the results and lessons learnt. the diamond tail we all surfed in zarautz was super fun and proves the fact that i am not doing everything wrong ;)

unfortunately, the shaping progress will slow down a bit as i have a very busy time at work and part-time studies.

soon off to spain

apart from switzerland, portugal and france a landlocked board will soon get in contact with the salty water in spain. this friday we'll be off to zarautz. i packed the 6'6'' fatum and the LL diamond tail 5'11''.
