Cowabunga

The good-luck duck-fish, with single-fin board: 

recycled sculpture mix, denim and blue/green glazes; abalone shell; 

twine; redwood bark; a broken bit from a sea urchin shell. 

That's a memento from Surf-Camp 2008 in the background.  The Richard Schmidt Surf School down in Santa Cruz: check them out, for they will treat you right.

Too Far from the Water

I should be out in the water more. Been dry-docked lately. Here's how close I managed to get this weekend.

Not close enough by far.

(That's me back in August 2008; photo taken by the legendary Richard Schmidt as part of his Surf Camp Santa Cruz. Great time; great people. I'm the first to emphasize that I belong under the water rather than up on a board, but good fun, nonetheless.)
