More Snow...and More Swell. This past week, we got a little more of both.

This past Thursday, January 27th, we added more snow to our already large snowfall totals...with it came some nice waves.  I took a few photos...enjoy.

An old Cat that wandered into the shop...

A little ways ago a Vintage Greg Noll Cat wandered into the shop...A solid example of Miki Dora's signature model.  It has seen more wear than it would have liked, but is still solid.  The fin is nice and in great shape,  the lam is in nice shape except the "greg Noll" is faded, there are no delams on the board, just dings and some water damage but not soft.  The board hasn't seen water in over 10 years and weighs real close to what it weighed when new...no excess water weight.  9'8"...22 wide... 3 plus thick, 16" nose and 16" tail...FOR SALE  -*SOLD*

A Few memories of Last week's Blizard...

What a wild storm this one was...I can't remember a crazier snowstorm in NJ...ever! We got a total of 34 inches....34 inches! What's crazy is that it all fell in less than 24 hours. The winds were humming at about 30 to 45mph causing blizzard conditions and almost no visibility...not great to be outside. The worst part of the whole thing was the lack of waves. For those that could get there, there were chest high waves for half a day.

The BEST part of the whole thing is that the conditions caused me to come to a grinding hault...I got to spend tons of time with my family...and that's what life is really all about!

Next morning's aftermath...at the shop.

Early in the evening...

snow barrell on the roof...
