This past weekend I went out to Rockaway to help with the post sandy cleanup, and as it turned out, the house I was sent to work on was his! Seems like his shaping room wasn't too badly hit by the storm, but the ground floor and basement of the house is a hot mess. Glad to have been able to help such a nice guy get back on his feet. Good luck Joe. Joey is a lovely guy and sold me a Pavel Speed dialer at Mollusk a couple years back.

]]> Comment on Latest board – Bamboo/carbon Floatey Fish by Martymo http://www.phoresia.org/?p=498&cpage=1#comment-8854 Martymo Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:35:36 +0000 http://www.phoresia.org/?p=498#comment-8854 Its gotta be said that an Epoxy / EPS board is very much less toxic than a PU / PE job. The epoxy is infinitely safer to work with than polyester as long as you don't use acetone for clear ups as it has no styrene and is low VOC. The EPS is recyclable, whereas polyurethane isn't in most places. I totally agree with you on the carbon fibre point! Someone on the web did a cradle to grave study of board building materials and epoxy / EPS came out as the best. Its gotta be a future! Nice article by the way!

Doesn’t hanging out with surfers…
And skaters…
Make the plight of the homeless at least understandable…
If not less tragic…
And don’t the struggles of at-risk youth…
Mirror the hunger…
Of surf starved valley dwellers everywhere?
Oxy codone and high priced boutique hand-crafted ale…
Seems a small price to pay…
Sorry to jest…
Love the site…
Yours and host…
And the commitment.
