The Paul Surf Edition

13 semi-custom unique, thoughtfully and cohesively designed surfboards, entirely hand-built by
Paul J. Schmidt


One of the most popularly quoted koans is, “what’s the sound of one hand clapping?”

When I read this cube’s descent to dissolution, I am reminded of koans and the way they fall off without a goodbye


EDITION 2

A Visualized Koan

The space where events can occur has been broken into quadrants, through the disruption of the stringer line

The first quadrant depicts the image of a cube hovering in space

If one were to read what happens, beginning with the first quadrant and ending with the fourth,

we might say the cube has descended into the consuming void space, and finally rests,

indistinct of its surrounding


Does the fourth possess a cube? Does the first cube’s solitary suspension relate to the others?

Or is this just another clumsy attempt to make linear sense of an event based on one’s previous experience of narrative, gravity, space and shape?


I hope you enjoy the mental experience as you search your personal fourth quadrant.
