Find the monkey and get a treat.We're moving offices from the airport area to the West Side of C.M. this weekend (downsizing). Took the 1st load over this evening and stopped by to see Dan at the shop. A generous host, he gave me the full tour, as it'd been almost 2yrs since I've been in there. Last time was to place an order for the board/van swap.
They've expanded quite abit, and have lots more room than before. Met a few around the shop, and fondled a few new and old boards to my liking..
Even overheard an unsolicited mention of "Daily Bread" while I was poking around amongst the racks, small world who was name dropping.
Thanks to Dan (DanO Surfboards) and Jim (Pure Glass) for giving me the tour. Stop by and order a new ride and have it shaped and glassed under the same roof.
Regardless of what's going on in the economy, it's wise to keep your money in the local community. The money you spend here, (mostly) stays here. Invest in your local businesses as without them, you may have to go farther for the goods and services crucial to your daily lives.
My nanny (grandma) used to tell me as a kid..."You get what you pay for"...you buy cheap, you get cheap.
If you don't know where to find your local shaper and glasser, then go to your local surf shop. They can point you in the right direction. Go to the source. If they tell you to drive to Santa Barbara and go talk to Al, go find a different shop.

I need as many people as possible to show up at the next Costa Mesa Planning Commission meeting or to send Jim Righeimer emails that explain to him that the Westside of Costa Mesa is an important part of the surfing world and he should leave this area alone and stop pushing residential redevelopment at the benefit of a few and the cost of the rest of us that enjoy our surf culture and our random uncrowded days.
