Hampton Surfboard Soup / A fair Shake for the Andreini

A complete zoo and a very poorly behaved SUP'er.

The Andreini - Marc Andreini is one of the best shapers around, but the hullish boards are hard to ride. I was considering selling the pretty green board, but I need to give it time.
Here's a cool article about Marc Andreini with some amazing old pictures.

It’s so nice when this turn out better than expected.

The waves tonight were small, but the shape was super, and there were only 2 other surfers out. And once you cranked the turn, you’d fly. Yet another benefit of wide boards.

The Olympus 1050sw goes in the water, shoots great pics, and you can surf with it, it’s so small.

The water was trunkable – yay.

There was a 10-year-old butterball of a kid playing in the waves with a body board. Kinda in the way, but not really. It was, after all thigh, occasional waist high. I had to pull out to avoid hitting him. It was like a hall of mirrors, I think that he was me in a time warp. That could have been me circa 1975, a goofy kid with a kick board from Mal’s department store, resplendent with STP stickers, happier than a pig in you know what. Same deal 34 years later.

The Hive Cape Ann - opening show this Friday

P7060005.JPG

Featuring Tom Torrey's robots, and a bunch of other swell stuff, like my pictures. But seriously, Tom doesn't say much it seems, but his robots speak volumes to his talent. They make me wanna freaky deaky. Maybe not, unless they come with the TK421 upgrade.
