"ANTICIPATION"

hey a!

i havent been able to surf for, let me think..., 9 month, thats a really long time.
shaping has been keeping me sane, but now, as my very first 5 boards are almost done by the magical hands of the chacal, the need to get them wet makes it even worse...

..but relief is on the way!

with the tremendous help of a new portuguese friend, again, met and got to know via the wwww, wonderful world wide web, we will call a nice little beach town somewhere in the middle of portugal our home for 2 weeks in the month of july.

Rui, as our friend is called, not only managed to get us a nice place to stay, that is only 50 meters away from the beach (well, thats a little compensation for the 2000kms we have to travel normally to get wet ;-)), but also is kind enough to take care of us while we re there and will show us around. i cant wait to shake this man`s hand with the biggest of smiles at the lisbon airport in 3 month.

Rui also has a nice blog which you can find here:
http://magic-quiver.blogspot.com/

yep, its called MAGIC QUIVER, and thats not just a nice name, no, its what its all about. Rui can get you some amazing shred sticks from the worlds best foam scratchers out there. names like Rich Pavel, Mike Hynson, Rainbow Surfboards, Dano Surfboards, Barrel Surfboards and others are written on the pieces of foam and fibreglass that pass through Rui`s hands.

i first contacted him because i noticed on his blog, that he can get me some nineplus wetsuits too. i get my new wetsuit in july ;-) . they re just beautiful and feel like butter. hmm.

until then...

i tend to switch around outlines, fin setups and ideas for the next projects, and im not really sure which way to go yet.
the possibilities are endless.
but it doesnt really matter. its gonna be fun anyways.

hope you all have a good time,
take care,
