This is part of a painting, on my board bag. I bought it white, white, white. It was the cheapest one they had, at Aqua East Surf Shop. I think I paid 99 dollars. I had no idea, at the time, what a good investment that was.
I had drawn a fish on it, with a black marker. I had to do something. I labeled the side of the bag with name, address, etc., like the airlines wanted me to.
It recently became handy, when having my Rozo brought to me in Nicaragua. After my first trip out of the country, I altered the bag. Now, I let it live in deconstruction.
One thing I figured out, through experience is – don’t buy new equipment, to travel to a third world country. Unless you just want to show off your shiny new board, to people who are doing unbelievable airs, and landing them, on big waves, on yellow boards.
What ever…..
What would granny know….

(jaja – I want to add on this day, January 23,23. Bradley Dunham took three brand new boards on his Nica trip. He was scared of everything. Unbelievable. He got a ding in his board and wouldn’t quit crying about it. I told him to put some duct tape on it. He kept crying. He found a guy who took him under his wing. A real good guy. When Bradley cried again about his ding. The guy told him,”Put some duct tape on it.” I got a big laugh.)
