6'4" Nugget

Nugget in front leading the pack !

Well started work today on a new board for myself it's a 6'4" 21 1/2 by 2 5/8 thick.

I have decided to name the board nugget after a  mate that passed away a few years back. Much like nugget this board is short and wide up top in the chest area. 

Nugget was an Aussie i worked with at Whistler Glass,  we became great mates and in summer Nugget , Steve and I spent most afternoons after work in the bike park riding our downhill bikes till the park closed followed by beers in the village.

It came as a shock when Nugget passed away 3 years back in whistler after I had returned to Australia.. He died from a heart problem when he was going to bed he was in his early thirties and a year older then me at the time. He was loving life and had been in Whistler for a few years living the dream. Nugget was from Queensland and enjoyed a surf and i often caught him on the net in Whistler checking the surf cams.

In memory of Nugget !
