Cool idea. If you are lucky enough to get in please surf with it instead of making it an "art piece". If I hear one more person say " I have to go do my art....." I will hurl. Why do you have to announce it? That's like tools that say "I have to go to band practice" really loudly. I get it: you're in a band. You're an "artist" . You are so" Portland". Actually you are pathetically begging for attention. Lame. Anyway, rant over, and btw there are pretty good waves here
Unless you are a very experienced surfer, please do NOT surf on a redwood board. Unless the boards have hollowed-out chambers within them, they will weigh around 100 pounds. If you're a newb and want to build your own board and learn to surf on it, redwood isn't the way to go. You'll fall, the board will hit you, and you'll be bruised or broken. And when you do manage to stand up and ride a wave, you'll be riding on a 100 pound board, and will not have a lot of control.
This class sounds cool, though - definitely. I'd love to make one, and put it on my wall.
And I agree with The Shitsayer about commenter #1.
Showstopper, please stop posting so much. You are ruining Blogtown for me. I used to think the worst possible commentators were Damosa, frankieb, Andy from Beaverton and Todd Mecklem but once in a great while those guys will write something interesting or funny. Your comments are pure bile and poorly written, please go away.

PCC sometimes offers a "build your own guitar" class...maybe I'll try that instead.
