For the first time in about 4 years, I ordered a custom shaped board. Yesterday, when I went to pick it up, I felt like a little kid in a candy store...giddy with excitement. The board is an exact replica (or so close I hope I don't notice the difference) of a Neil Purchase Jr. board I picked up at a garage sale about 3 years ago. I surfed the life out of that old board and it is hands down the best board I have EVER ridden. All those times I claimed that a board was a magic board, well, I lied. So I am hoping that this board is just as special.
How could you not love a new board...with blue fins (my favourite colour)
I am sure you can see how excited I am by all the pictures I have posted. I couldn't decide which angle showed off the pure beauty of the board. I think all the photos are essential, and clearly you need to see a photo or two of me with my wave craft ;-) Hopefully the next post will be of me surfing my new board. x

Some wonderful tunes
Triple J (for my American friends, this is a national radio station here in Australia) has a weekly time slot called "Like a Version", where artists go into the studio and play a version of another artists' song. Recently I discovered (well, figured out the band that belonged to a song I've been singing for a while) a great Australian band, Busby Marou. Their version of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna have fun" is awesome, so I thought I would share.
