JP’s New Blog
Did you know JP at Surfy Surfy used to do a column for the print mag Surfer Surfing? Pinliner told me that off hand while he was putting the pins on my GH. No wonder he has taken to this self publishing thing so easily… he’s an old pro. In addition to moderating the erBB surfboard design blog since day one, JP also runs Leucadia!, which takes all the boring out of local politics, calls a spade a spade, an Aceti an Ass and makes it so fun to blast all the people trying to ruin this small town that you HAVE to get involved.
I’m not sure how he has found the time to do this, but he’s started another blog, this time at Surfing Mag. His first post is a manifesto of sorts and a shot across the bow of the popout industry. Keep in mind that this is on a blog, which is part of a mag, which makes lots of money from popout ads. Sounds like someone high up over there grabbed his sack and said, to hell with it, lets let surfers cover surfing however they want.
So anyway, you knew he could take a good photo and stir up the pot with his witty banter, but did you know he could write as well? If you didn’t, check out the new Surfboards Blog on Surfing mag.

Big ups to JP. Any master crafstaman has the right to call out cheap, socially and environmentally irresponsible drool passing off for a surfboard.

Thanks for the linkage man. I am going to try to ease off the political part and just share the stoke mostly.
Oh yeah, small correction, I used to write for the print mag Surfing in the late 80’s early 90’s. Not Surfer.

JP’s got the know. He’s a lucky man having so many beautiful Boards pass his way. I guess if you’re doing some of the best craftmanship out there that’s going to happen. The hat, I tip it to him. Tip Tip.
