The painting is by our favorite Merry Prankster Jeffrey Meyers. Painted on a sign liberated from a certain infamous local bar. Its from a snapshot of a Baja Pont to remain nameless. Painted around 1980 or 81 we hung it and have been waiting for Jeff to come finish the foreground ever since. If I remember right his exact words were”Go ahead and hang it I’ll be back tomorrow to finish it.”
to those of you awaiting your Pavel foil(s), take a deep breath, hunker down… or do whatever gets you through cause it’s gonna be awhile.
i empathize with your frustration – i’ve been waiting longer than both of you (who have commented here)- we want it all and we want it now. but for me, anger and frustration directed at toby is a waste of energy and time. i have other boards to ride and great waves in my back yard, …and bigger battles to fight. i may be a sucker for waiting sooo long, maybe not. what i do know is someday soon i’ll be stocked and laughing when i pull into a screaming blue meanie on my pavel. aloha.
Sorry.. No Sympathy for those waiting for your Pavel. You knew what you were getting into, it’s not like this is new information. You made the choice to order the board… Now stop whinning, and accept what you have stepped into. I don’t own a Pavel, and to be honest with a wait time like that I will never order one. But there are obviously plenty of people who think it is worth the wait. Good luck, be patient and hopefully it will all be worth it.
I don’t want your sympathy kook. Pavel is just a big Ego. He acts like he’s cool or something. I should have stayed with my local shaper he has more soul in his big toe than Pavel has in his entire body. Honestly my custom guitar from Kirk Sands has taken 2 years but its made of extinct planks of brazillian rosewood. Not Walker foam. hahahaha.
P.S. Stop complaining and get on with your life already. If that is the case then fix the situation and stop calling names. Don’t get the board if that is the case. I am sure he won’t lose any sleep over your order. The other guy just said get on with it, now take your bad vibe elsewhere or continue calling names under an anonymous alias. It looks like he wished you well in getting your Pavel. I wish you the same, and do what you gotta do but don’t air your dirty laundry out here and call names on this stokefilled blog. Thanks for the great pics as always J.P. Unfortunate people gotta bring their baggage here.

February 5, 2008I love this picture. I rather have the rack than a Porshe.

February 5, 2008I’ll take the green single fin. And I’ll second what the anonymous poster said. A quiver is cooler than a Porshe any day of the week.
