UNDERTAKEN



"Ladies & gentlemen, I present to you our latest model - The Undertaker!"

The first British homemade surfboards were called 'coffin lids' because of how they looked – and also because allegedly the local undertaker made them! With a bit of tweaking here and there this could be my next shape...

And by the way, what a great word 'Undertaker' is, in recent years Funeral Director has become the more acceptable title. I don't know what the origins of 'Undertaker' are, but that's who I want preparing me for my journey into the after life.
