Hi mitchel

Hope you are getting a few big ones mate......such a perfect
day....sorry that you are in the pit again......if surfers only
appreciated how you've carved your life out to please them - ungrateful bunch - well not all of them. i'm sure you probably have more good ones on your books than anyone.....certainly those that manage to find theirway into your creative bubble will never be disappointed and never leave........i dont want to piss in your pocket too much - rather see you in one......especially one of those magnificant beauties at sanur......the 7'2'' you made me is jut perfect for that wave......when i took the drop on that flawless cyclinder  last time around in bali - the board just slipped in - it was like "old home week".
As soon as the waves get to that level your boards come into their own......often you just have to let go and the spear will do the rest.....i remember thinking on that sanur wave - which is something on that long perfect wall you get time to do - "this is the best wave i've had since the last one i surfed here". the board was just peaking - flying. the wave was so perfect that i wanted it to last forever. guess that's where i fucked up.....had the little voice inside saying "you better get out of this" and caught in the dream state ( again ) and blissed in the
experience i stayed there and got bounced off the reef as you do now and then ( it humbles you )......and there i will stay.....thanks to
you......some people build up stock options or invest in property
.....the quiver you have made for me goes way beyond that....and
thanking you a thousand times a thousand would never be enough.......love

you mate....
