Tony started his board late in 2005 and worked about once a week due to his busy work and family schedule. Enduring cold days in the less than fully heated shop Tony worked tirelessly to complete his vision. Some individuals create as go along. Tony seemed to know exactly what he wanted from the get go, and showed a keen eye for detail in his board during the building process. With a patient but inspirational work ethic Tony completed his board in February of 2006. Tony is a wonderful reminder as to why I (Surreal-G) do what I do. Every session Tony expressed how happy and excited he was to be building his board and how it was better than he imagined it could be. I was truly privileged to work with such a good man.

Enjoy it Tony and I'll see you on the beach.
