I recently moved house and found these old puppies buried in the corner. It took me back to when i first started shaping in my mums back garage and how damn long ago that was! I was 16 when my fascination with surfboards began... which means its now been about 11 years or so since i built my first board from start to finish! Crazy! How time flies! And even crazier... i still really enjoy doing it for a living.
Back then i called my boards "OTB" which stood for out the back. I am actually surprised at how good they feel... i thought they would be heapas. (toot toot) I've nearly gotten rid of them that many times but am glad i didn't cause its always good to reflect and see where you've come from as a shaper. The love affair continues!
Simmo-
