Absolutely Fin-atical
What’s the go with guys over the age of 30 choosing one of the three hobbies at obsessive levels.. isn’t it meant to be a choice of golf, BBQ’s or running marathons??
Well needless to say I missed the memo (though I love a good BBQ with friends!) and have found myself deep into a new obsession of fussing over surf reports and making surf fin art, not something you see much of I have made so far 20+ fins all shaped using my own board fins as templates!
Still learning to utlilise my camera to its full potential!
The work bench has plenty more in the works!
My big board for small surf days at 9.6 Foot long
Working in Ettalong has its perks!
Looking for ways to enjoy the warmer weather and boost my fitness its been wonderful to get back into the water, after work I have been able to sneak in some waves down in Umina, just a short drive from work.
If you have never visited this part of the central coast I can highly recommend it, from stunning beaches to scenic bush hiking tracks the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
At time of writing this I have 11 fins available, here’s a few different ones! Experiments with new timbers is ongoing, at the moment I have had requests for blonder timber, so I am looking for light shades of wood to work with for future models!
We also have some exciting news in the works!
I recently saw a call out for applications to be a supplier to the Gosford regional gallery’s new shop opening in November, of course I applied and I am absolutely thrilled to have been accepted to the next stage of the application process, next week I will be taking some items in to look at suitability for its sale in the store. In my mind the surf fins will be a great thing to lead with, being a coastal region with world class beaches I imagine the gallery would look good with surf inspired items on the shelves!
Worry rocks and my stacking rocks are just some of the other items I will be taking along with me to my appointment, so wish me luck!
On that note if you have been eyeing anything off recently I encourage you to act now, or let me know if you would like something put aside as I may remove some items from the online store for that purpose!
