    Not a dad, but nonetheless I got myself a Father’s Day gift.

    Picked up a 1968 9’4” Hobie w/ a glass on for a fair price. Pretty stoked on it. Thing is a straight up tank, heavy duty. Looking forward to riding on a little piece of history.

    Will definitely try to get a shot of her maiden voyage. I’ve ridden plenty of logs, but nothing glassed this heavy.

    The good news is that I will plow through just about any and everyone in my way.

    THIS is how to ride a longboard.

    Cigarette smoking surfers and super cute blond surfer girls.

    All the elements for a cool vid and a couple good memories, thanks

    Figured Kanman could appreciate the native Jersey man's interview, before venturing out on the ride. Should be fun, worthy of many pics/vids.

    I watched that interview last night. It was awesome. When he spoke I could almost visualize his experiences. What a time to be a surfer.

    I have a few resin touch ups I gotta do before she gets wet, but best believe I’ll be back on this tread with some shots or vids.
