Too Deep For Tears: A Lifetime Of Glory In 3 To 5 Second Intervals
I am an ancient master. Ancient, and frothy. And like a Master Samurai in Feudal Japan would construct his own sword, I began to forge my own weapon for the furtherance of aquatic glory... I began to forge the Superbiscuit.
It began simply enough... a way to cool off and alleviate boredom at the beach, advancement to more sophisticated setups, more challenging and powerful barrels; a chance encounter with a friend at a cold, slabby beach break north of Santa Cruz would provide the catalyst- an antiquated 80's hand plane, resembling a rainbow flip-flop with weird straps... the difference in speed and maneuverability lit a fire in my brain and the journey had begun.
And so was the birth of the Biscuit. It languished, nameless for years. At the time, nomenclature was not important to me. My first attempt, the Protobiscuit, was amateurish and rudimentary- but functional. I struggled for years to overcome the Strap Dilemma. Then, while suiting up for a session at It's Beach in the mid-90's, my eyes fell upon a windsurfboard and the way its straps were affixed to the board. An epiphany- and the ongoing engineering process of Biscuitry was born. It continues to evolve to this day.
