Jeffs shaping video


Pictures , Videos and Story from Jeff of the The Sounding Drum
Scratchings by Tales from the river
Hawawians and many other Island cultures have a history of surfing logs, back many years ago as we know .

http://www.myspace.com/soundingdrum
The art of carving a tree Koa surfboard and surfing it is held highly by Jeff and others .They pursue the love of shaping out of raw fallen trees and creating canoues and Treeboards for the locals and other wood carved prouducts .A Philosphy,Tree surfing like our humans long ago.A lost but not lost art thanks to shapers like Jeff and the tree form true to nature .I Imagine a great way of travel and sport back in the day and survial from storys i have read .

http://www.myspace.com/soundingdrum
Jeff and Friends and the KOA tree surf boards are like staring into Surfings shaping past.

http://www.myspace.com/soundingdrum
The shape shop looks like a fun place to me Jeff.

http://www.myspace.com/soundingdrum

The shop making wood wonders with past and present tools and skills working together as one.

Humans building with their hands and crafting tools with nothing more than what nature provides.These skills of living off the land from our fellow Humans ,Indian cultures must not be forgotton in this world of man made prouducts.In my opinion.Indian culture practices should be taught everywhere .Tribes and these cultures should not be left out of the world and lands they respect.

http://www.myspace.com/soundingdrum Wood plank test shape ,The board blocks surf stand is sweet.

Here in pre shape Jeff said alot of time and care must take place in the choppin fingers that is .....

This is my opinion of what i know about Jeff. He is a true artist of pure soul and vision you have to see his other works of art at his site. He loves to surf trees shown here in this video with the finished hand carved and polished surfboard made from nature .The possiablities are endless as is what can be made out of stumps and wood considered junk .Underneath all that worn color of old battered wood lies a gift from mother natures spirits. Ghosts of the forests she gives new life to those who care for the air we breath leaving us with her fallen dead .plant a tree today and Maybe you will see a tree surfing in true spirit again in a ocean near you.

Thanks again Jeff

Jeff started a group called H20 on myspace we are members as are many others who care about this planet .Jeff is Political too, Alfered E Newman for President i think hes right.Very smart man from our chats and his love for Earth and surfing in the Island home he loves. This video of a step by step will show more about Jeff and this links above to myspace the Sounding Drum.

Paddle surfing Clear creek,widow maker would be fun?

Thanks to Hawawian legends and crew and the Gamms

Low flows got you down ?Paddle surfing will tune you up! Thanks to World paddle surfers.I ventured to clear creek for some practice stayed till 10 oclock at night. Twice now afterwork.

Wind surfboards work well for surfing up and down the rivers as local S.U.P.s surfing on the roaring Fork and Colorado rivers ,have been testing the waters. I have paddled down the Colorado grizzly to south canyon and it will work you out but is truly a great way to see the waves and river canyons that snake you into Gtown.

International Surfing Day - ISD - June 20, 2008

A message from the ISD site CRSA takes the challange .

Surfing is a sport of challenge - challenging balance, challenging waves, challenging yourself… For 2008, International Surfing Day will unveil a new element; signature challenges. These “challenges” are micro-events that will be taking place on local, regional, national and even global levels, and give ISD participants the opportunity to compete against themselves and others in surfing and environmentally themed competitions. Join in a local Surfrider chapter location and take the “challenge” to win tons of prizes.
The goal is simple: take the day, or at least a part of the day, to go out, catch a wave or three and -- while you're at it -- help clean up your favorite beach. Check in with us often and we will be providing more information on how you can take a challenge and help conserve our mother ocean.

International Surfing Day - ISD - June 20, 2008 get ready time to surf and clean our rivers and oceans everyday is ISAday for the waters we love far and wide .
