My friends wife had arranged a secret birthday shaping mission for him to have me help build a board for his son. Well, upon arriving to the Hole in the Hall, it changed in to HIS birthday board.

Unexpected East Coast Sliding Experience
This was an absolute honor and suprise for me when I arrived to the beach my second day in New York. To slide a Frye Fish Simmons at a Fish Frye in Long Island New York, based off the original event at my home break at Crystal Pier, at the foot of Felspar St, where Harry's Surf Shop dropped in November 1990 and kicked out December 2000; the very shop this exact board was born in and got to watch many of them be built. Talk about full circle!

Ando Boards land in Japan for The Greenroom Festival
I'm hoping to get more pictures from this event since I was not able to attend but here is a quickie snap shot of the booth we had there. To the right you can see a row of boards on the wall, 3 Skips and 3 of mine. The two fish in the middle are the boards Andy did for us. I hope the crowd was stoked.
Dream Quiver
Just going through some pld pics and thought I'd throw a quiver shot up. NO, it's not mine. Bummed.

Yo Josh,
I had about a 1 1/2 hour at a local point and the board is insane. It was glassy, about 2-3' faces. The board paddles like butter and freaking FLIES. Can't really describe it. It's actually pretty easy to turn and control as long as my foot is on the tail, no problem at all in that department. Turn, pick a line and go really really fast... I can't wait to get it in some good surf. Any bit of steep face and the board really started to shine. Great first session. Seriously, this board will make Summer in my area a whole lot better.
Thanks again for showing me around and the ride to the station yesterday. I raided a cardboard recycling dumpster up the street from the station and wrapped the board in cardboard, and the fins in part of a suitcase that was in there. It worked great and not a scratch on the board from the two train rides although the layover in LA from 11pm-7:30am fucking sucked. Give me a ring next time you're up here so you can give it a try. Hope you like the pics. I've gotten a ton of compliments and "what is that?" comments from people about the board. Even got the grand tour of the baggage claim area at Union Station in LA last night. Kept hearing Amtrak baggage staff saying "huge surfboard" on the walkie talkies.
take care,
Nick
