Hi There JP,

Love your blog, very cool boards indeed, I have put a few guys onto your site and they are stoked to see what you guys get up to. Especially the retro tragics amongst them : )

I do a bit of airbrushing when time allows, mainly my own boards and canvas work more recently. I had a friend ask me to spray up a display board for him, with anything I liked on it. After much head scratching and searching, I stubbled across some photos posted on your site that struck a chord and decided to lay-down a Mexican dream line-up on the deck. Please see the result attached.

Source of inspiration

- Freehand airbrushed on the glass
- Automotive base coats
- Around 4 days work to complete

Cheers

State of Surfy Surfy, mid-summer 2008

Hola and Aloha Surfy Surfy peeps,

This is your State of Surfy Surfy Summer 2008 update.

You may noticed I just switched over to a 3 column format. I did this because the righthand link column was getting absurdly long now that all of you have started blogs.

The left column is mostly dedicated to info about the shop that builds the boards shown on Surfy Surfy, Moonlight Glassing. The right column has all the blog links and other junks.

I also added a translation tool, see the flag icons on the right column, for all our international Surfy friends.

The 3 column format does look a little cluttered but it stays for now. I would like the center post photos to be larger, and I'm considering switching over from Blogspot to Wordpress.

You may also notice that the Surfy Surfy url has changed from a blogspot address to surfysurfy.net. I finally coughed up the $10 bucks to register my own domain, heh.

I'm working on creating a companion site to Surfy Surfy for those of you who want deeper info on the boards shown and soon I'm going to be taking over the Destination Surf blog (D-Surf is a surf accessories company, board bags, leashes, traction, that my wife's family owns) so look for the launch of the D-Surf blog in the near future.

Moonlight Glassing should have an official website fairly soon, including an online store. That will be nice for those of you not in the southern California timezone.

If you want to be linked on Surfy Surfy or want a photo of your board posted feel free to e-mail me at surferlabor@gmail.com

If you already e-mailed me and I didn't get back to you, I apologize, it's been a crazy summer. Please send me another follow up e-mail (and, as much as I appreciate the free offers of cases of vitamin water, energy drinks and triple blade razors I don't plan on including any viral corporate marketing on Surfy Surfy-lol).

Thanks for supporting Surfy Surfy for the past 3 years, see ya on the interwebs!

your nerdy blogging pal,
J.P. St. Pierre

Check it out friends, I got this new thing called "a book". It's like a blog but it's not on a computer, instead it's a bunch of pieces of paper bundled together and if you read them in consecutive order they form a narrative story. It's crazy!
