the Mini Simmons

I've had a couple of 'flexi' days this week to knock over a few jobs around the house and make the most of the swell. Ontop of this I've also managed to knock out a mini simmons and some fins. A bit more sanding and glass work to go but it's getting there. Hopefully will be able to Christen her in a couple of weeks when Hannah and I head north to Noosa.

Apologies to T-Bird. Dude I promised you British Racing Green with a white stripe but unfortunatley old mate at the fibreglass shop only had a couple of green tints in stock, nethier of which were much chop. If this one goes well I'll give Bobo the chop and hunt down that pigment!

Saturday slides at the hole...

A nice bit of swell came through yesterday and the rights were peeling at the hole. Thanks to the Transporter film crew who waited patiently while I snuck in my second surf for the day!

Perfect Winter Afternoon's

The last few days have been a loggers dream! While there's no shortage of company, it's still nice to come home from work and stroll down to the local for a few slides. The unseasonal warmth is also a friendly reminder that summers no too far away.

Room for lease in the Beach Cottage!

T-Bird is heading off on his adventure next week so as of Wednesday there will be spare room in the Beach Cottage. It's $110/ week, has built in wardrobes and is only a two minute walk from the waves.  If anyone is looking for accomodation in the Newcastle area drop us a line this week or send me a message on your device of choice. Keep in mind you will need to be at least stage one maddog to be considered. Oh and unfortunatley no pets allowed so if you have a pooch you'll have to ditch it with someone else! Ph

Pretty as a picture!

Almost finished, just got to let her cure and put in a leg rope plug. Ph

Fish Fish Done- Pete Fish well underway!

I've been slack with the blog of late but this isn't an indication of a lack of activity. Fishy has finished his board and taken her for a few spins out Merewether. Word on the street is she goes pretty nice too! T'Bird has taken to an old log with a saw in the hope to make himself  mini Simmons before he goes overseas. Progress on this slowed after the foam started to separate from the stringer. Fingers crossed we can bring her back. My fish is shaped and ready for glass. Now its just a matter of waiting till the fiberglass retailer opens his doors after renovations (great timing). Here's a few shot of Fishy's board during the wet rub, hopefully will have a few of mine to put up soon!

Fishy has finally slapped some resin on his lad. Filler coat going on this weekend but already looking nice!!
