I found this series of videos over the weekend… it’s was so satisfying to watch. Dennis takes an old edition of Dune and transforms it. It’s one of those experiences where you get both the art and craft.
It could change the performance of a pickleball paddle, a snowboard, a surfboard, even a rally car.
