Splinters Surf: December 2011
http://splinterssurf.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 2, 2011. My Craft is making hollow cedar surfboards by hand, one at a time. True Craft lies on a continuum somewhere between Art and Science. It requires a balance of both creative talent and mastery of technique. Not a new concept by any means as the idea of craft reaches as far back as the medieval times. Industrialization did its best to all but destroy it with its mass production and economies of scale but true Craft persists. There is a simple beauty in the handmade and hand crafted.

Splinters Surf: January 2011
http://splinterssurf.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. 8220;The Journey, not the arrival matters.” –T.S. Elliot. In the past I have lamented about the beauty of wood, how it can be shaped, and molded and finished. I still find it amazing that you can transform a tree into a chair or a salad bowl, or in this case, a surfboard. But wood is fallible, it can check and warp, snap and burn. For my brother and his wife they became all too aware of the failings of wood. But with every tragedy, comes hope and eventually happiness. Memories ...

Holistic Health Coaching Nourishing Yourself Inside and Out. On November 9, 2012. How do you feel when you read a negative news story or are having coffee with a friend that is being pessimistic? Usually these types of scenarios create negative energy or feelings for the person in the situation and that energy or feeling is likely to stay with you throughout the day and you will likely pass it onto others. One response to “ Attention. November 25, 2012 at 10:25 pm. Hi Heidi, I find so many people donR...

Splinters Surf: More Wood....
http://splinterssurf.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-wood.html
Friday, March 4, 2011. I started Splinters Surf as a way for me to design and build a couple of hollow wood surfboards and paddleboards for myself and few friends out of my garage. But as I got nearer to the end of my first build I knew that this could be something some much bigger than that. Now I could lament about spiritualism, transcending cosmic plains and the transference of a piece of my soul to the board through my chisel. But I won’t. As hokey as it may sound, the thought of being able to build ...

Splinters Surf: More than just a Novelty...
http://splinterssurf.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-than-just-novelty.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. More than just a Novelty. The real ‘novelty’ of surfing the Great Lakes, in August, on the ‘best beach’ in Ontario started to take shape. The water temperature was a balmy 23 degrees so boardshorts and a rash guard was all I needed. Sure beats peeling on a 5 mil and booties, like I had to do the previous weekend in Tofino.

Splinters Surf: May 2011
http://splinterssurf.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Dubbed the ‘Fat Fish’, the Sea Bass is a 6’ 8” twin fin (FCS). Again Stu and Lana Holmes had a lot of input when I designed the board and I am pretty amped to see this one in the water. This is the first version of the skimboard designed and hot coated by my 9 year old son. The coolest thing about this project was how stoked he was to be a part of it. I turned around briefly when I was done polishing it and he had it set up outside and was shooting pics of it with his own camera.

Photographic adventures on the West Coast. The only thing I love more than the ocean is a boat ride on the ocean. Last week I went on the Ocean Magic, a vessel operated by Prince of Whales Whale Watching, and went on a 3-hour whale watching tour. The trip took us from Victoria Harbour, westward, to San Juan Island. It was awesome! It rained. It poured. The wind was blowing like crazy in Haro Strait, but it was AWESOME!
