Really? It'll be like taking a Mondrian or Diebenkorn out for a surf. Wouldn't you be like crying if you, say, hit a rock or ran it into the sand??? Click to expand... I have these thoughts whenever I take out my Ole. And I know it will be worse when I get a chance to take out my new one. Last time I had my Bumble Bee out a guy in the water thought I was crazy to be riding it. But Bob made these boards for me to ride, not hang on a wall and collect dust. And I have to say there is something special about riding a wave on a beautifuly shaped (and glassed) board that pushes you to become a better surfer. For me this is part of what seperates mass production boards from custom hand shapes. |
