The Goldfish!

Postby kitesurfer » Mon Apr 28, 2008 7:06 am

Hey folks. Just finished the latest Harmergeddon.

This one was for James, a 5ft8 x 20 1/2 x 2 5/8 twin ply keel fully retro fish. Unfortunatley k-bay wasn't firing although we did find out that you can surf 1ft waves with it! 8)
I think James has surfed it again since so i'll let him tell you how it surfs.
In the mean time here are some piccies.

Nice board - you still need to mow your lawn though. Have you thought about getting a sheep? They will sort it out for you and you can eat them afterwards.

Maybe you should start up a lawn mowing business?

Don't worry fella, the lawn is now mowed.

Harmergedon, uses my workshop but getting him to tidy anything after himself is almost impossible, let alone get him to mow the lawn.

The sheep idea is a good one but I would be afraid for the sheep with Kitey about.

Amazing what you can come up with after a HobGoblin or 10, lol

Actually it's not nice, I take that back!

All I can picture is you beardy Devonians* sitting around in your speedos, drinking Hobgoblin and going "aaaargh!"




(for the purpose of this post Devonians covers all the counties of the south west England)
