i forgot to add, Gorgeous George is one of our customers – Mechanics to the stars we are!!!

the place is finally emptying, all the trendy lisbonites are packing up and heading to the city again.  Cant say i will miss them, they tend to worry too much about how they look or what they wear for my taste.

And talk about attitude!!!!!! I guess that is just city life and what it does to you.

well i checked a shed load of beaches today looking for some surf to test the newly fixed long board but there was nothing – mareta, tonel, ingrina, zavial, tolheiro, ponte ruiva, castelejho and cordoama – all not work getting suited up for, which also means no photos of the longboard launch just yet.

heres hoping for a new midweek swell when all the tourists have gone, preferrable on the south coast so i can hit it at lunchtime and take rescue roland with me too ( the official space photographer)

more soon, i promise, keep watching

board is finally finished and loaded on th ecar – i love the smell of surf wax first thing in the morning.

Rescue has agreed to be the photographer tomorrow so look out for the board, the shorts and the wipe out.

all being well, new photos  on the site tomorrow night

it almost is now.  fully resined up, just needs a sand in the morning and then a good waxing – be on the crest of a wave for sunday.

will ask Rescue Roland to come and take some pics for the page

my fault i know, i shouldnt have thrown the core of a peach in the bin but i woke up one morning this week to find a trail of ants coming under my door, to my bin.  that on its own isnt remarkable but get this, they also found their way into my freezer but couldnt get back out so frooze to death – ironically, i dont have any food in my freezer

on the opposite side of the coin, they head for the kettle too – some like it hot i guess

need to let it cure, sand it again and then add my final coat of resin, by tonight, all should be good, maybe even get a surf on it tomorrow – i am getting excited now !!!

the longboard is back

just putting it on right now

enough for one night, gonna head off to the beach to see the new day in……..çiao babies – dont work too hard

sold today for the princely sum of 200 euros to a young lady from london called esther.

i was kinda sad as i watched the car in my mirror as we drove off, it looks so cool and relaxed.

another skin of resin on the board, final topcoat tomorrow, which is a holiday so the place will be humming with lisbon-ites so the best place to hide will be at work.

need to fix the bike again too, someone is taking a look at it on wednesday – for a rather handsome 750 euros – i only paid 50 for it.

that i found a good woman to share in this paradise………
