Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
Check it out Surfy peeps, our entry in the Sacred Craft Expression Session contest thingy, The Jelly Egg, won the popular vote for coolest board (or something like that, I’m still unclear on how the whole thing went down). We won a $1000 gift certificate to HANSEN SURFBOARDS as well as a “DESIGN FORUM” feature in SURFER magazine. Not too shabby!
The 6’2″ Jelly Quad Egg was shaped by underground guru shaper Gary Hanel out of Leucadia, CA. It features removable bamboo fins handmade by Marlin Bacon of 101 Fin Co fame, the Lokbox fin system, and a really trippy airbrush tribute to our pelagic jelly friends by Peter St Pierre.
All the boards entered in the Expression Session will also be on display/silent auction at Hansens Boardroom in Encinitas.
The boards in the silent auction are by Matt Biolos, Danny Hess, Craig Hollingsworth, Dave Daum, Stu Kenson, Ron House and us. The winning board of the silent auction gets $1000 to give to the charity of their choice. Moonlight Glassing’s charity is Smile Train, a group that provides surgeries to kids with cleft palates.
If you want to bid on any of the boards you have to visit Hansens in person. I’ll find out if there is going to be any online bidding for those not in San Diego county.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE GH/MOONLIGHT JELLY QUAD, WE ARE SUPER DUPER STOKED!
Also, big thanks to the crew at ReviewSurfboards.com for organizing the Expression Session, building all the racks, standing at the booth all day Saturday and Sunday and counting all the ballots.

October 16, 2008How much do you think that board is going to cost me? Or if I wanted to get a replica done? Ball park…
John
October 16, 2008well Joe, you better buy it now, because after your Obama tax increase, you won’t be able to afford it

October 17, 2008Why, does Joe the plumber make over $250k?
Sarah
October 17, 2008no, but his boss does, and he’s going to have to let Joe go.
meh
October 17, 2008Don’t raise taxes and never dare question the $550 Billion dollar war in Iraq that Joe the Plumber loves and supports but has no idea how to pay for.

I didn’t like the tone of this article but it’s difficult to argue with the facts. It’s astounding.

October 17, 2008ha! I was just joking around, it’s election time, couldn’t resist.
JP, labor unions always endorse Dems for obvious reasons. But Joe isn’t a member of the union, he’s not even a licensed plumber!

October 17, 2008Why don’t we just get rid of taxes if they’re such a pain in the ass? I don’t get how Republinuts claim to be the party of business. Keep up the deficit spending boys, the Chinese love you.

October 17, 2008The last 8 years: brought to you by the fiscally sober party for small government.
I’m going to spend my next totally inappropriate tax cut on one last new board. After the economy collapses, I will ride the rails like hobos of yore, except with a thruster instead of a bindle.
Joe the Plumber
October 18, 2008No one ever answered my question. How much is this little nugget going to cost me? McCain’s giving me $5000 grand, should that cover it? Or wait a minute never mind, I still have that $600 dollar check Bush gave me a while back, that should be sufficient. Man I love Republicans so much money to spend and to give away…
Meatheads for Obama
