andreini koa slider part II

Got to hang out with Marc Andreini again last weekend and helped him carry out the koa board he's been working on. It's a long process and slow going, but nothing's ever rushed with Marc.

While I was down south, Maggie Marsek and her special friend Rob had me over for a beer and did the old Mr. Miyagi trick where he tells Daniel to choose which vintage car to have for his birthday. I picked this photo of one of my favorite waves in Leucadia.

I thought I'd post a few pics of some of the scenery here in SF during the summer...

Here's a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge.

This is what you see of you just drive 20 minutes south of Mordor.

shaping with tyler warren is fun

While I was down south I got to shape a twin keel for Mr. Warren. It took a while to find a template he liked, but we finally worked out a template a bit like a super foiled Lis fish. Check out Tyler's fin template, hand-foiled by Daniel Partch.

One of a few spots I got to surf after work.

I got to meet a lot of new babies on this trip.
This is my friend Moses and his son Henry.
