#StayAtHome with Robert d’Amico


 
From Roberto d’Amico in the midst of the lockdown in Italy:
As you know the situation in Italy is tough and the news has a way of presenting things in its own way without allowing you to know how the situation truly is at the moment.
We are under lockdown in our homes for at least the next 20 days.
This is a message for all of you abroad… BE CAREFUL! Don’t shake hands, avoid crowded places, as prevention is the only key to escape what we are forced to live at this moment.
This is a global problem, we as a nation made a giant error at the start of the epidemic, which became a pandemic.
Do not make the same mistake, nature will thank us for a stop.Hope you enjoy the video and my message.
Please spread as much as you can.

Shaping a big wave beast – Markie Lascelles crafting a Mullaghmore board for Conor Maguire.

Shaping a big wave beast – Markie Lascelles crafting a Mullaghmore board for Conor Maguire.

 

Ever wondered what a surfboard shaping machine looks like? We peeked under the hood of Markie’s, at Beachbeat Surfboards, as he was creating a big wave sled for Conor Maguire. It’s a fascinating process to watch as the blank becomes honed into the bones of the design. The machine madness is just part of the process and the hand shaping part is where the magic happens. Dive in to see the process unfold.
