Orange Egg

Does anyone remember the van with the external speakers in Robert Altman's (brilliant) Nashville? For some reason it was a highlight for me, as was seeing Elliott Gould in full 70s, gold-necklaced, hairy-chested glory. The van, a rolling audio advertisement for Hal Philip Walker's political ambitions, asks the question, "does Christmas smell like oranges to you?"
Well, for local wave-enthusiast Lucas, international shredder and dashing man about town, Christmas came a bit early this year, and it's definitely orange.
7' something egg, glassed with the lovely lady-hands of Leslie Anderson at Fatty Fiberglass. Lots of finboxes for lots of fin options.
Tight.

Oioi oioi, as my gramps used to say! Indeed Xmas and the entirety of 2011 has been looking, tasting, smelling, and feeling rather orange! And everyone loves it!

Seriously, thanks J-man for a dashing example of what a luxury it is to have a board shaped for the waves of SoCo. I've had a couple of epic sessions at Bean with it as a single-fin setup and a fair share of "Salmon-head" A's as a bonzer setup. Oi so sweet!

Hope all is well, and I'm ready to order a longboard when your bookings mellow out.

Tchau

Seriously, thanks J-man for a dashing example of what a luxury it is to have a board specifically shaped for the waves of SoCo. I've had a couple of epic sessions at Bean with a single-fit setup and a fair share of "Salmonhead-high" A's with it rigged as a bonzer. Oi so sweet!

Hope this finds you well! I am ready to order a longboard when your bookings mellow out.
