5'11" Twinzer Egg

5'11"x20"x2 5/8" stringerless 2 1/2# eps/epoxy.
6+6 bottom and 4+6+6 deck.
Still weighs less than a poly board, and I can punch it without fear.

tail view...





















yellow pigmented deck w/pinline

















options...














bottom with resin swirl and pinline















Looking forward to testing this out in the next few weeks, if neptune sees fit(pretty please!)
I can't believe I was just going to sell it...

the 3rd age

"Old age is like a bank account: you withdraw from what you've put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories."

Honda CB125.

good things definately come in tiny packages...

If you're ever in floripa, and need a new board, be sure to see this guy...

Shaping since 1982, and he still competes...

oh yeah, and be sure to ask to see his collection of vintage magazines and books.
(he's not as scary as he looks in the picture, i promise...)

happy ending?

on to the UK...

well, i try not to post anything too personal on here, but...

as the departure date for new ventures approaches, i want to thank everyone

here in brazil that taught me, lent a hand, or just went surfing(not to mention all the churrascos). You know who you are, and more importantly, so do I...

Muito Obrigado, e boas ondas pra voces,
