If you build it…
January 17th, 2006Yep you guessed it, another post about the countdown to the surf tour, oh well, what can ya do! So anyway less than two week’s now and really trying to tie things up workwise by the end of this week.
My mate Sulli passed me over some pictures of some nice retro fish surfboards that his friend in HK makes. They look sweet as, and I think him and I will be purchasing one each for Bali. As they said in the Field Of Dreams, “If you build it they will come”. It’s all about building the quiver (of boards).
To those who know him, the Mighty Mitch (of Fuerte’ and numerous UK surf outings) has to stay dry for this tour. At 8′2″ he is just too damn big to take on tour, and so he stays landlocked until we head down to Devon and Cornwall later on in the year.
Thoughts for this tour in terms of board size are to go smaller, somewhere in the 7′ range, a combination of mini-mal and short board styles me thinks, something that gives you the stability of a mal, but the slick turns of a short board. Cape Town will be the first stop and it’s here where I will make the first purchase, can’t wait!
As the old boy says on Blue Horizon, “Think it, feel it, do it”.
13 days!
Cheers hun, just gonna make the most of having the next week off and get to the beach as often as possible….can’t wait for those surfing lessons!!
