Summer Hiatus

Well, a couple of things happened. Summer started, and my obsession with being in the ocean took over my daily routine. There was virtually no surf all summer, but the water was clear and in the mid-70's. I couldn't fathom locking myself in my garage with conditions like that, so my family and I spent most of our days at the beach.

Secondly, when I imagined how beautiful this board could be, I got a bit obsessed with perfection. However, I am far from a perfect woodworker. I froze and refused to put in any work for fear of screwing it up. But, I undertook this project knowing I would mistakes and learn from them. I got back into the garage, took a fresh look at the surfboard that had been sitting dormant since May, and put in some work.
