Thanks for the kind words. Don't look too closely! ;)
Yes, the "Nereida" Njord was made for Gonzalo in Barcelona, Spain. Someday I'd like to visit Spain. Heck, I'd like to see somewhere other than North America! I DID honeymoon in the islands (Aruba, Curacao, St Marten and St Thomas). Does that count?
Can't wait to see the finished board.

: I have stared and stared at your site before. You've got talent not
: just in the inlay but the design too. Wasn't this kayak sent to
: Spain? I did a "Buen Camino" board to comemmorate my
: fiancé hiking the Camino de Santiago (across Spain). We just
: returned from hiking it together. The Buen Camino has the shell
: of the camino inlaid in sea snail and the cross of St James in
: red lacquered abalone. For the Abalone there could be no sanding
: due to the lacquer. I had to get it perfect on the inlay. The
: Cross of St James is now my surfboard logo and will be inlaid in
: some fashion on every board henceforth.
