Home Grown Baby! The NightSUP Video From Tyler Knight

Built right here on Cape Ann!!!!!!

The NightSUP was designed by Tyler, Dominic and Sylvie from Cape Ann SUP.

We showed our designs to Keith Natti over at Twin Lights Glassing. He scratched his head and looked at us like we were crazy….but in the end, so was he.  Keith’s attention to detail has made this project even better than any of us hoped. We’ve tested these boards in lots of conditions and we’ve even had Harbor Seals use the light from the boards to hunt the fish below us.

So before the barage of Shark comments, We just want to say this: If YOU are the largest predator in your’ waters, then you need a SUP with LEDs. You will see your’ own waterways and wildlife in a brand new and magical way.

Double Waterproof LEDs and a rechargable batteries are the recipe for a whole new way to view nature and Paddleboard more safely at night time. This is the custom creation of a surf punk and a sup kook who put aside the chatter to come up with something RAD.

Origami rubber ducky represents in paperfolded Bethlehem

The nativity scene is folded from tissue foil using models of my own design.  Each model is folded from one rectangle.  The duck was folded my me, but designed by Gay Merrill Gross (diagrams in issue #5 of Creased magazine).

Are there any other Cape Ann origami artists out there who’d like to get together to fold? I’ve been thinking about starting a local origami group.   I don’t know how much interest there would be, nor how often we could meet. My parish schedule is pretty full, but a monthly meeting might be feasible.

How about starting a support group for those of us whose vacations are over-ha!  Could be called GMG ( "Grieving, Missing Gloucester")! There is still so much great stuff going on in town–love reading about it all!
