Good friend Gav Webster<br />
recently sent in these photos<br />
of the new stick he made<br />
at a wooden board-building<br />
workshop on the northside of<br />
Brisbane run by Stuart Bywater.<br />
Stoked with the experience<br />
he is already planning to<br />
head back and build another<br />
board or three. Not a bad idea<br />
really. At the rate Gav dings<br />
his boards it’s always handy to<br />
have a few in the quiver. Here’s<br />
hoping anyway his wooden<br />
board is a bit more sturdy than<br />
his fibreglass ones and can<br />
withstand him landing on them<br />
as a regular occurrence, or Gav’s<br />
occasional trip to the rocks. We<br />
are sure in due course Gav will<br />
be able to put together a column<br />
for <strong>Smorgasboarder</strong> on, “How<br />
to repair a wooden surfboard.”<br />
Well done Gav. Great to see you<br />
have caught the bug. Impressed<br />
you even managed to place<br />
under the glass the Webster<br />
family coat of arms. Hope it has<br />
a big fin. Stay Moist.<br />
