So my co-worker Matt Dunfee has seen me shape some boards and wanted to try it out himself. I came up on a really good deal on 5 Just Foam blanks that I just couldn’t pass up, and I figured this would be a great way for Matt to get his hands dirty. His daughter has just started surfing, and he really really wanted to shape her a board as an early Christmas gift, so that’s just what we did. After I showed him the ropes he had at it, hating and loving every second of it. After it was all shaped and ready for glass, he took it down to our local glasser Joe Roper and they worked there magic. These pics were taken about an hour or so after it was all done so there are some dark spots in the glass where the resin isn’t fully dry. After all said and done Matt and his daughter loved and the memories will last a lifetime.

Got the call this morning saying Scripps was poppin off, and that I should go out and get some shots before I surf. So I headed up there, ate at the new cafe and watched the surf. When I was done eating I posted up on the lifeguard tower and started taking shots.

This first shot was taken from where I was sitting eating breakfast
