However, these photos of White House staff members Ben Finkenbinder and
Nick Shapiro carrying surfboards upon their return from Hawaii
definitely raises questions. Was it their boards? Did President Obama
sneek off for a surf session during the Holidaze?
The boards don’t look brand new. They have the appearance of the wax
being cleaned off. The leashes seem to be intact, and traction pads have
been stuck on the tails. One of the boards looks like it was shaped by
Rusty Preisendorfer, with the other a Tokoro board that Jordy Smith
likes to ride. Makes you wonder if President Obama has surfing skills,
and whether he took one of these sticks out for a paddle. He certainly
knows how to drop the shaka, one of the many cool things about our great
nation’s President.
