Elijah Wood

So I've finished shaping my alaia and am now on the oiling part. I'm using tung oil which should protect it and make it last forever. One coat down, four more to go . . .

Wood is good

My good friend Ben works for the Wegener brothers and was able to pick up a couple paulownia wood blanks for me. I'm going to shape an alaia and see how it goes. This is what they look like now . . .

SALSA SURF CONTEST

I volunteered to judge a really neat surf contest on Saturday. The SALSA (Surfers Against Lou Gehrig's Disease Surfing Alliance) contest, went down on the South Side of the Huntington Beach Pier. The waves were really fun, everyone was ripping, and children of all ages had an amazing time. All the money raised from this incredible event were donated to helping find a cure to a disease doctors know relatively little about.
