D Fin Clock

Sometimes you go to your door and find something you just didn't expect to see. The other day there was this D Fin Clock laying on my door mate with a note attached. Turns out my friends Mary and Paul got this clock at the Longboard Grotto about 15 years ago. It broke and then sat in a closet all this time. While cleaning things out she felt that I would appreciate it so she passed it on to me. All I can say is that it has been getting some attention around here. THANK YOU GUYS FOR THINKING OF ME!!!! It is very cool and I will find a nice spot to show it off.

1977 Homemade Fish

These photos and email were sent in by Pauly T. a long time Avo local. He comes across some of the coolest things. This time it was this board. Check out the stringerless setup. I'm curious how it flexes. Paul said we could ride it. Maybe David will shoot the session. Enjoy.

Ed, I was at Kelly and Tana's house the other day and noticed a new board in his collection. He bought it from another Leucadian named Rusty. It's 6'2" , homemade with classis plywood fins. Rusty bought it used back in the day from a P.B. surf shop. Dig the air brush pelican wave action.......pauly 

Paul's New Kies 7'2" Geezer Whale

My friend Paul sent me this email.  I had to laugh at his photo with the broom. He fell in love with this board and has been catching A LOT of waves. Good for you Paul!

Ed, This is my new geezer board.Years ago I figured if I could not ride a high performance board I would hang up my wet suit. I have since determined that not being in the water is not an option. Old age, compounded by 25yrs. of baseball have taken a toll to the point where I could not affectively get to my feet on the boards of my preference.Hence the geezer-whale. It's 7'2" and allows me the extra 2 seconds needed to hobble to my feet. I suppose every surfer that lives long enough will endure a certain amount of frustration that phisical limitations bring,however I'm stoked with this move.This board rides well, however the turns require alot more muscle....................pauly t. a.s.l. por vida
