Everyone at work knows I'm some kind of land locked surfing nut. So I'm sitting down at our daily project meeting and the project manager starts reading a quote from the top page of his day planer.

" THE SHAPERS | Once a shaper, or surfboard maker had selected a tree from which he would build a board, he would dig a hole near the tree, place fish among the roots, and offer a prayer to the gods. He would then chip away at the trunk with a stone ax and shape the tree to the desired dimensions. He would then pull the tree to the beach place it a lodge for finishing work. He would use coral and stone to smooth the rough surfaces and then stain the wood to the desired color.”

So what’s the procedure for a modern surfboard, I mean where do you bury the fish? Near the 55 gallon barrel of epoxy?
