Gerry Lopez

Gerry was at the Sacred Craft show today.

I took Noe back there today so we could see him shape a board and to get him to sign our book and poster.

I don't watch much TV, or pay much attention to any of the current gossip (Jon and Kate have got much bigger problems than where his next date is coming from or who's going to pay for the next Hawaiian vacation) - in fact I've appointed myself the social hermit crab - it takes a lot to break through my tough outer shell (just ask La).

But to see Gerry in action - now thats something to see! A shaper's dream!

And all for the bargain price of $5!!! It's great to know that someone that has such a great philosophy on life has blazed a trail living life as well as he has. I know what I want to do when I grow up!

May the Guru live long and prosper!!!

More pictures from the Sacred Craft show

White Hot Blanks was giving away small EPS blanks and small squares of sandpaper for kids to keep themselves entertained at the show. It certainly worked for Noe (bought me some more time to take in the vendor's booths).

A lot of standups. Dave Daum's shapes looked to be the winner in my book - a little thinner than I have surfed, and with a less drawn down rail than I use, but a solid offering (and the most balanced at the show).

The 8'10" Surftech Gerry Lopez SUP was also on display - if I didn't shape and glass my own now, my wallet would be a lot lighter right now - BEAUTIFUL board that looks like a ripper!!! But of course right??? Look at it's pedigree and you realize that what it's sole purpose on this earth has to be -

Sacred Craft Show at Ventura

The family mobilized and spent the morning at the Sacred Craft show at the Ventura Fairgrounds.

Just as awesome (eye popping boards, accessories and other things that pull at your wallet) as the one last October in Del Mar.

I'll post pictures over the few days.
