The Hole in the Hall

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.

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

History Lesson

Gary and Peter of Moonlight Glassing passing down some knowledge of past board design theory and design threads while peering down the line of the most recently shaped, balsa Simmons replica made by Terry Martin and John Cherry. A few of the names mentioned were, of course Simmons, but also, Woody Brown and Pat Curren. The conversation started with talking about Woody and it went from there. Whoa!
