Kenji runs his palm down the rail of the blank, eyes closed, then opens them on you. "Feel this. No, properly, with the flat of your hand. This is where the board will turn. It takes me three weeks to get one of these right, and I like my customers to know what they are waiting for." Dust has settled and the blank is almost there. Come in, put your hand where mine is and tell me how you want it to feel under your feet.
