I've been addicted to surfing for a while now. I think most long time surfers eventually dream of building their own board. So did I. One day I decided the time had come, I would take my obsession with surfing to the next level. I started to build my first board. I'm starting this blog as I'm about halfway done.
It would get too tedious to recount all that has happened up to now, both with surfing and with building the first board. My approach in this blog will be to just give you a glimpse of what is going on every now and then, as well as my time allows. I will also use this blog to record details about surfing and board shaping that I want to keep track of, things like the effect of wind and swell on a certain surf spot, and mistakes that I do make when building boards. That way I can use these pages as a reference in the future.
But most of all I hope you'll enjoy reading this. Don't hesitate to post comments!
Surfing makes me happy.

First to comment suckers!!!
Rippin' Blog Sven. Great way to demonstrate/share your skills and inspire others!
I must brag about today's Swami's session(actually two seshs). Let's just say the police waking me at 1am for spending the night in my truck bed at Swami's parking lot paid off dearly. Board, trunks, sunscreen, and my REI paddlers hat = 5 hour session. Stoked! I admit I had to take a break for breakfast at Swami's Cafe after about two hours, but smooth, ripping shoulder/neck high rights all morning long before the wind came. How about them apples? ;)))
BTW. Last night I saw the premier of a new surf movie, Waterman, in Encinitas. Super chill, no-mainstream surf flick starring Laird Hamilton, Dave Kalama, Gerry Lopez, Rob Machado and the Malloy brothers; Keith, Chris and Dan. Dave and Rob were present at the premier. Gave them a firm hand shake and a thank you for everyone up North.
Look forward to viewing the glassing section in detail. Awesome dude! Take care.

Hey André,
That's hilarious. You are truly dedicated, I'm impressed. What did the police say? Did they let you stay there for the rest of the night?
