The Hole in the Hall

Lady slide...

Soryr to have been away this last week. My computer was on the fritz, taking 25 seconds for each little thing to click or load, including emails. It's lucky it's not in two pieces yet! Any ways just came across these pics while browsing around. Women's Longboard World Champ and good friend Jen Smith, riding a 5'4 J Hall twin fin. The board is clear but I think the gilrs went crazy with the Kyrlon!

Get Farked!

Its extremely fun to do! JP over at Surfy Surfy enlightened me to some extremely funny and extremely talented photo shop editions of a post he put up a while back. Below are some of my favorites! I laughed for an hour looking at these things! There are some extremely talented people behind some of these, hmmm, maybe they'll want to do a t shirt?

It's that time of year again everyone! Come to downtown San Diego to celebrate this annual fundraiser for WiLDCOAST. The event formerly known as The Vanguard is being presented this year as The Sideways Riders Event. Sponsered by Essentials Gear Clothing, Art by Shay Vision Josh Hall Surfboards and Revolt Magazine; it will be a great evening of Art, Clothing, Music and Surfboards. Come early as this event looks to be a sell out. And yes, Eek a mouse is playing this year. It will be an amazing time to support an amazing cause. See ya there.

Mollusk Venice, Ron Stoner Show

Had an excellent time this past Saturday night at the Mollusk Venice shop. There were tons of heads there, from Kirk Putman, Brian Hilbers and Esteban and Karen, to the crews from all the Mollusk Shops, mike, Chris, john, and of course the local cats. Headed up the 5 with friend Mike D from Cardiff, along the way picked up Tyler Warren and Bucky Barry from the doho region. And Denny Aaberg and crew rocked the house all night! All in all a great time. one thing I am realizing is that i need to be waaayyy more proactive about getting photos. HA!

Fishy art

Andy Davis stopped by last month to lay down some fresh paint on two freshly shaped 5'11 keel fin fish, one from the skipper and the other one from me. Look for the two boards to appear on a DVD being put together and to be released in May in japan at the Greenroom festival. DVD features the 3 of us, plus Daniel Partch foiling fins and doing some wood burning art, also moonlight will be featured as the premium ichiban glasser to finish the boards. Should be a really fun film!
