Woody Jack boards and posca fun

Woody is a great shaper that grew up in Angourie and learnt his craft from the best in the industry. I got two boards from him about 6 weeks ago. They both go great. The little 5'9 is so fun it keeps me pumped to surf even when its small and onshore.
Woody was cool and organised it so I could do my own board art. I did a salad fingers tribute board (check out episode two- 'friends'). Thanks Wood and congratulations on your new baby daughter!
