the real gent

a good friend from the colonies is going through his nuptials later this year and has asked a couple of friends to ush for him. what an honour! i’ll take any opportunity to get measured up in st james’. 

we visited messrs neal and palmer. mr palmer (parmar) explained that mr neal was no longer with us, we passed on our sympathies but it turns out that he hasn’t passed away, he’s merely not with the company any more. we’ll look dashing! 

today is the feasting day of saint george, patron saint of the english and various other nations, states and cities (although i’m not sure that preston and stoke-on-trent count as cities!) apparently he was turkish and the dragon was welsh so lets call the whole thing a multicultural mish mash and celebrate the lovable mixture that has become our fair country. 

huzzah for england, the queen and st george!

i’ll be celebrating with a pork pie, some colman’s english mustard and a tankard of the the local’s finest and i hope that you will too. 

gulfstreamsurfboards:

Another phase done on this masterpiece, full deck resin tint done. Hot coat done. Not long before Spoon has his new board, all we need now is some surf.

‘If you get a new board it will go flat’

That is really becoming true, especially for us. With most of the team demanding new boards it looks like we are set for a very long flat period. Sorry all. But with the in mind, you may aswell order yours now so it is ready for the first swell in near on a month!

Until then…

my new board. it feels so good to know that in a small shed in devon there is a man who understands what a client wants and turns it out exactly to specification. there is no denying that this is ‘for vaughan’
