Journal entries
Days 1- 3 I traveled from San Francisco to Ithaca, NY via Brooklyn. Received orientation to Ithaca, Comet facilities, and introduction to Comet staff. I developed a plan for internship with the owner and Comet team.
Days 4-9 I learned how to use various skateboard making equipment, I also learned internal workings of the company. I worked in shipping and receiving. I also began working with the owner to develop my own pro model board. Then worked with a designer on artwork for my pro model deck.
Days 10 - 13 I traveled around the upstate New York area with owner and other Comet team members, skating and marketing the Comet brand. Finished work on pro model board and got ready to put it into production. After I got my board finished my time had come to an end and I traveled back to San Francisco.
