ready set go



In between meetings i found a couple of hours to test the room...template cut and skinning the blank....i need days with 32 hours...
Entre reuniões lá deu para cortar um outline e desbastar um pouco de foam...preciso de dias com 32 horas....

guns ship ear plugs and some concrete


I'm having too much fun mowing foam with these gunship ear plugs...

Wife checking the mess a week ago

and again checking some concrete on a construction site...this year were running out of time...our small practice in architecture is starting to be in cruise control and a good way to measure it is by the amount of concrete we have to play with...

this one will have 700m2 layout with reinforced concrete bearing walls and it is a house!!!!

The Twin reverb gets a new baby brother fender champ...love to crank it up and overdrive the 2 valves in the play room
i need some waves....

stubbies!!!!

Every one around me seems to be into stubbies lately...
First stop: a FCP local fan, Paulo's "surfcenterchaos" stubby.

from France Pierre Mourai and Florence are the happy parents of Oscar

Congratulations from me and Raquel!...we look forward for some more good French wine and good company around the dinner table!

Stubby is a word associated in surf craft world with scoop decks, blade rails, flex fins, smooth outlines on all round form...everyone following the saga knows the names: Greg Liddle, Klaus Jones, Brian Hilbers, Marc Andreini and a few others...not known for his hull displacement designs but instead by his longboard craft skills is French shaper Daniel Creignou. It seems that he too is into stubbies lately, check out his design with a flex tail:
