so i got me new board from the rulers at Chilli surfboards. (thanks Taylor). Chilli shapes for guys like Dorian Andy Irons and Chris Ward when they're in town so he's the goods. in fact he's shaped for half the top 28 before. it was meant to be for Chris Shiflett from the Foo Fighters but he couldn't take it out, so.... its mine. for now anyways. so thanks james and Taylor and thanks Chris.
