Interesting afternoon in Ventura checking out the latest and greatest on offer at Sacred Craft. I was really excited to see Gerry Lopez mow some foam and tried to get a decent spot to view him in the booth along with all the others. It was somewhat anti-climactic when he showed up with a computer shaped blank. I know he doesn't have to prove his skills to anyone but it sure woulda been nice to see him create a board start to finish. I was really impressed with Wayne Rich but would be amazed if he shaped his production boards in the same way as he did at the show. He was very meticulous and his John Bradbury replica turned out beautiful. Kinda strange that they have Firewire and Surftech showing boards. Seems like they've let the wolf into the chicken coop there. A celebration of hand shaped surfboards right. Why are the pop-outs there???
