Allan Gibbons Skunk Works

If I were mildly rich I’d have an contract for 5 of Allan Gibbons’s skunk work specials every month.

Rasta got one of the Grain Surfboard guys to fly out and help him build a board in front of Pipe. I bet whoever got that email at Grain promptly deleted it, bought a plane ticket and told his partner he was going out for a sandwich.
