So I just found out I'm NOT getting a new board

Postby waikikikichan » Sat Feb 16, 2019 7:43 am

So unlike OMS, who is getting a new board, I on the other hand am NOT getting one.

Last year on my trip back home to Oahu, I ordered a 5'4" Mini-Simmons. Not that I really need one since I usually ride molded-epoxy boards. The shaper, long time ago, offered me a free shape for letting him use my moped for a few years. I found some nice fabric and thought it would look good in a surfboard. Made the order and paid for the blank and glassing. Messaged him three months ahead to remind him. No problem. Messaged him this month. Problem. He can't get it made in time. I gave him a whole year !!

This is the exact same fabric. Damn, should of told him I'd be back in December, not March.
Thinking I just get back my money and use the fabric for a pillow case.

When you know someone is chronically late, tell them the party is at 5 when it’s actually at 7.

Shaper time ...it’s like island time, but slower and longer
