surfboard stuff

Ever since I moved back to the beach surf stuff has been mainly all Iv been working on. Most of my metal tools are still in Tahoe n re becoming a surf turkey has been pretty fun. Lately I pinstriped my mandala arc swallowtail my neighbor shaped and threw a layer of glass on a taiwanise pop out I didn't want to pressure ding and snap the first week I rode it. I'm stoked on the lines but other than the strength the new glass added I don't really like the color or the design. Oh well its extremely fun

ctional though. And I don't notice any significant added weight

tres colors

pinstriped flames

flames werent something i was into for a while. too much of a good thing when i was learning i guess.  this took me about 10 minutes so its good to see i can kinda still pull em off.

pinstriped wheel

  

Trying to get the van road ready and i needed a spare tire. 2 for $20 from the same guy i got my bench seat from! its gunna sit inside the van so i threw some lines on it. also zapped up a quick coolant overflow tank out of cheap water bottle.

Bike lane bandits

 this is the first minibike we built. my little brother welded up the frame in school and i made the fill foam and bondo gas tank. later we got into a fight about who owned it and we played a game of skate t
 o end the argument.

when Ryan Becker and i were younger we made up a few joke bike gang names. one was the bike lane bandits and the other one was the fabric haters. it was alot of fun. bombing around leucadia on homemade minibikes we built with fluxcore mig welders and swapmeet bought edger motors. later we got those crappy chinese bolt on bikes and ryan rode his strait into the back of a parked mustang on christmas eve. the plastic surgery kept him from losing his good looks.
