.surfboardshack.

My laptop died last week so sadly it has been near impossible to update or do much of anything that requires the internet. Miraculously though, I've been coping surprisingly well with the loss [if this had happened a few months ago while I was still in college and attempting to hand in my senior portfolio I would have had a meltdown] but the laptop gave me four good years and I suppose it is now the time to let it rest in peace.

Anyway, I finally got around to having Neal post my shortboard [one of the two that sit in my storage collecting dust] on surfboardshack.com and within less than 24 hours I had a phone call and email asking about the board. One of the guys even stopped by my house to check out the board and said that he'd think about it and make a decision by this weekend. Also, surfboardshack is free so I get to keep all the $100 I asked for which means $100 more into my puppy/new surfboard/trip to the Centennial Party fund. Hopefully it sells, so that I can move the four-fin that G. has been letting me hold into the storage instead of letting it sit on a chair in my grandmother's living room.
I've been shortboarding the past few days because it's been small and rideable and duck-dive-able. I'm slowly [think: pace of a tortoise] getting the hang of it but since there's a south swell due this weekend it's back to the longboard for me. Hopefully I won't un-learn everything ...
