Wood Surfboard Supply at the 2011 Sacred Craft Surf Expo in Del Mar, California
|
We had a great spot and lots of traffic. Both Brad and Jack
came away with no voice. The unglassed asymmetric on the
left blew a lot of minds when people saw it is only 5 1/2 lbs.
The show was dedicated to Carl Ekstrom who invented the
asymmetric surfboard back in the 60's Its really coming
back into popularity and he has a lot of new models.
Raphael Wolfe of Timberline Surf had hes usual quiver of
beautiful boards. They are foam cores shaped by several
different shapers with a paulownia vaneer on the outside.
Looking down the mail aisle before the doors opened.
Over 6,000 people came through the show with Saturday
being the biggest. Everybody had a great time.
Chris Moe (center) stopped by to say hello. Chris and his dad Harold built a
Cruiser and are starting a Driftwood. Harold is a long time wood strip canoe
builder who got bit by the wood surfboard bug.
Jack gets interviewed by a "faux" Phil Donahue. This guy was close
enough to fool us for a little while but then we remembered - "Phil
don't surf"!
