Just went up to drop a board off to get glassed and Darren "Dicko" Dickson was in there...what a guy didn't even ask my name just grabbed my board took me straight into the bay and spent the next hour and half explaining things and showing me a few tips and tricks to get a better result a cleaner finish...some stuff you just can't learn from the internet or watching videos...what a legend!

He sounds like a champion bloke Tux

you'd be frothing now to start a new board and try your new tricks out hey

Awesome that some guys are just genuine and prepared to pass on their knowledge, now get back in that shaping bay and show us ya skills!!!!

This is great news for me as Tux is making my next board

Double awesome!
Nice work Tux!

Good story and it's good to be able to watch it all happen. Back in the 90's a guy who surfed in the longboard club made me a board and asked me down to watch while he shaped it which I did. Then he took it into another room and I watched as he did this nice resin bleed on one half of the deck and bottom. He did it squirting pigmented resin out of plastic sauce bottles. Turned out nice.
