    Really, I better check that right away. Come to think of it, thats why I stopped shaping 35 years ago… I thought if I waited long enough the problem might go away. Damm! Back to flipping eggs.

    So very stoked to see Duncan Campbell back in the shaping room again! It was surely all meant to be and good timing with all the swells set to roll into Haleiwa soon come.
    Shaping your own board & surfing for the better part of the day today is good for your Soul…no matter the wind.
    The 5 fin Bonzer that Malcolm shaped for Davey Miller back in the late 80’s worked great today in some local Kona juice… a friend of mine surfed it for the sunset session and was hooked…true story.
    Stoked to know that I have an early Duncan Campbell Bonzer Vehicle in the quiver! I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the “Evolution of the Bonzer Vehicle” 2011A.D.+
    Much aloha & all the best fron Big Island!
