BARRY,LARRY & FLOYD,RON and GREG.

Every once in a while to opportunity arises
to view a collection of boards ready for some restoration work.
This week I was lucky enough to.
All four boards are all owned by the same person.

Barry Bennett circa 63.
Running man logo on tail.
Purchased new by the present owners father.

G&S
Shaped by John Monie.
Glassed by Dave Wilson.
Custom order by present owner.

Ron.
Pulled in gun style tail.
The no 30 on deck @ nose.
The no 830 on deck @ tail ?

What a shame.
This McDonagh is completely
delaminated top and bottom.
The 2" balsa stringer has turned to mush.
It's still going to look good on the owners wall.

CULTURE NORM CULTURE

We headed off down to the big smoke post christmas
to partake in a little culture.

First up.
Picasso.
Well worth it.
A once in a life time chance 
to see the work of a true master.
Got to love the goat. 
Then over to the surf city exhibition.
At the Museum of Sydney.
Also well worth it.

The evening view from our hotel room.
