Currently my mind is searching for the source of *inspiration* and why.
To channel the energy of inspiration into art is in itself art and is quite unexplainable. No machine or computer could ever re-create this energy… If this were possible there would be no need for galleries nor live concerts nor traditional shaping shacks.
A great board is created with love; the love of the ocean, art, physics, people, laughter and this world is poured into every board I shape.
Nothing in this life exists in a vacuum. Each board is built to last a long time.
Long Live Love…
