Faria is where I picked up nearly all of the driftwood for this:

That is sick...nice work.

x2 That is incredible! How long did it take you to build that? Were you contracted to do that or did you just whip it out on your own?

and did you fireproof it?

hehe....

I made it in 2005/6 as part of my thesis in art school. I spent five months on it (nearly every day). It now lives in a guy's yard in Palos Verdes. It is definitely NOT fireproof, but we agreed that when it was ready to disintegrate that he would demo it at his discretion. He also bought a painting that he will not be destroying...


Moving it was fun. It's made in 20 modules that bolt together for "easy" setup. I rented a 24' flatbed and moved three modules at a time (seven trips to move it), and another three or four trips to assemble it.


now we need some more surf pics!!!!

Oh yeah, one more. La Jolla Cove, not sure who shot it though.

. . . and that is why I avoided Swamis. If my buddies wanted to surf there, I would surf Boneyard or walk down to Pipes.

I've seen the cove like this. It's an amazing sight!
