Yesterday I ordered my new longboard! It's a bit of a memorial to Dad, who would have loved the whole process. I feel like I'm continuing the tradition in his spirit. This is him when he bought his 9'1 which I'm riding now. He was buried in that shirt.
It's time for new adventures.
Aw. That's a very poignant story and alovely photo. Will you continue to use your Dad's board as well or is your new board too similar?
Definitely still use it. The new board is a bit better for weaker waves. I'm so excited. When I look through photos there's so many of the fam with their new boards!!
Sounds like a fun trip down memory lane.
