anniversary trip to the coast


When you're wife lets you take your surfboard along on your anniversary trip, you know you've got a keeper! Guess that's one more reason to celebrate 23 years' of a great marriage! Here's some photos I took of a beautiful trip to S.L.O. county.

my surfboard art


I love painting my homebuilt surfboards also. I know wood board builders usually don't do that, but since I use plywood a lot, its ok. Honest, it is.

some more of my homebuilt surfboards


Being landlocked in Bakersfield, building surfboards is therapeutic for me when I can't go surfing.

keeping the stoke - by building surfboards

One way I've found to keep my stoke up is by building my own surfboards. I've built 5 so far, rebuilt one that was broken in half that someone gave me, and started number 6.

Always one to take the hard road, my boards are built from wood, rather than foam (well, one was wood and foam!). And so far, they've all featured my custom wood rails I call "Bahrman rails".
