J-Bird's New Custom Surf Board shaped by Ward Coffey

Yesterday, I finally retrieved my new custom board (based on my friend Beth's hybrid surf board) from shaper, Ward Coffey. When I saw the board with my design and purple all I could do was smile. 

(I know my bird design is girly, but I love purple)

I was so excited to get in the water to try my new shiny toy. I had to wait for the tide to go down so Luke and I got lunch and headed over to 38th. Cynthia was meeting up with us but I was too excited to say hello and ran ahead. It took less than five minutes in the water when i caught my first ride on my new board.

The board paddles really quickly, drops into the wave easily and turns so smoothly. My first ride filled me with so much excitement I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. Ward definitely fulfilled my expectations beyond my imagination.

Today I went to the Jetty with Jacob, Luke and Dugen. Beth took some great pictures of me on my new board:
