Yeah yeah...

Meanwhile, I just go to work. An expat buddy returned to Aust recently and collected his fresh pair of JDs yesterday -

I admire your craft, as always josh, but by god that looks horrible.

It's like Leonardo being asked to paint the outdoor dunny.

vote number 731 just logged Josh.

Unfortunately you are up against some dame who does fancy high heeled shoes.

No way the surfing community can contest the shoe fetishist women community. We're outnumbered 700,000 to 1.

Hey Olds - I dunno, the look is growing on me.


I've still got a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

I've voted twice today, but the boy called Jess is still 562 votes ahead. Them judges better value surfing and art more than shoes

FYI
I voted as well, and like the others, another new board will fit in the garage easily.
Good luck JD!

Nice one Josh, does this make the customer a surfer shaper voyeur now?

Very Mad Max, awesome cutting edge technology in a rustic workshop.

Yeah Legion - I'll have no excuses now. There's a function which causes the phone to tazer me if I start ad-libbing on dims.

DV8's newy will be the first one to go out with the chip all dialled up with data.

The Kaos - 6'2 x 20 3/4 x 2 1/2. (But you just never know....) Bump squash.

Hey Josh,
Not that I understand it entirley, but the article on you in the SMH (online) this morning is interesting.
Great idea for those keen to follow the board production throughout the process. Great idea.

Well I for one am a little confused but the RECOMMENDED reading at the base of your story, "The Large Labia Project", could be interesting…

Is that a new model name?
