hi mike, mike c aka micro from fishnlog here, love your blog mate, i was really gutted i missed you guys when you came to surfline that day, the boys often talk about the crazy invasion from planet c guys, i was chuffed to see the pic of roger on your blog and the link to fishnlog, ta much, the article on the pigs is awesome, i ride a fish, several logs, one or two come close to the pig type, a mat from paul gross and a handplane, the true pig may have to be my next craft, i can scan or take pics of the article in the slide mag and send it to you if that helps, cheers mike
ReplyDeletemicro,
ReplyDeletecheers!
I have the article on a pdf file. I am going to post it up here once the mag hits the news stands in the states for a bit. i appreciate the offer. I AM SO PUMPED to se it in print.
I am really anxious to see how that article is received. I put a fuck ton of work into it. its a touchy thing. people are passionate about taking credit for things. i tried to honor the board's design.
it feels good to have had the opportunity to write it. and to feels great to have accomplished it.
thanks for the support micro!
no worries mr b, i have just finished two articles for the pacific longboard magazine, due out very soon, a bit nervous but i hope they are liked, one on the fish fry in AU that roger and i went over to and one on the hyundai longboard series held in NZ, i fully enjoyed the article, you have done a great job, well done my good man, if you have the time on a rainy day check out my personal surf blog http://slopgroveller.blogspot.com/ which has my flickr gallery attached to it, and if you are ever in NZ again i would like to shoot you, on film that is, cheers mike c
