Meet and Greet














Today I went to the Ruffrodders.com BBQ hosted by Eean at Champion speed shop in Costa Mesa. I was very humbled to have such a warm group of people that all have the same passion treat me so well. Special thanks to Markie for the warm welcoming and introductions. It was great to meet guys like Rob, Arie, and Derek. All great guys with the same interests. Hope everyone had a safe trip back to the corners they came from. Here are a few pictures I took.















Lost Forever

Picture above taken off of cyclezombies blog...them were the days






We headed up the coast this last friday to camp Malibu Creek campground. My truck was already packed due to the cancelation of Bonneville. I loaded up my surfboards and headed up mid day friday. I have never surfed above El Segundo and was very excited to surf Malibu Point finally. When we got there it was just as I imagined. A perfect right pealing peak for a good 200-300 yards. As we walked through the block wall entrance I realized these were the same steps legends such as Miki Dora, Phill Edwards, Greg Knoll and many others took to surf this great break. It was crowded which was expected. We surfed for probably a good 2 hours before it got dark then proceeded to head up Malibu Canyon road to the camp ground. The Campground was very nice and peacefull rolling grass hills with Oak tree's spread about. The next morning we woke up and went back to Malibu to surf once again a blast....until some hodad cut me off and took his fin through the nose of my brand new board. Bummed I got out of the water and got my short board and surfed the break farther north up the beach.

Its sad to see such a seminal place...that holds such magic and history over populated like it was. Miki Doras mindset was all right. Movies like Gidget, and the surf craze that hit in the mid 50s ruined the seclusion and unknown all these places had. I wish I had gotten to see these places before all this happened I wish I got to surf the breaks before they were crowded....Theres places out there just gotta go find them I guess.

Beach Gray











I love the beach. I have many good memories in the water and camping. These are the years to remember. Soon we'll all go our own ways and get caught up in life. For now "lets sip this wine and pass the cup, these avenues and resivors lets show this town how to kiss the stars"

Bonneville or bust




Well we've decided to head out next saturday make the 11 hour journey to watch two days of racing then turn around and head home. It'll be nice to get out on the road and pop in some good tunes and just drive. Plan on taking plenty of pictures stay tuned. Also today while poking around the local ghetto swap meet I found this nice vintage glass door knob gonna use it for a shifter on the 31

Generation Lost

I say this over and over again. I feel like I'm growing up in the wrong time. Everythings to complicated these days. No one I meet is on the same page as me or has the same values and appreciation for the simple things in life. I need to find myself a lil Betty trapped in the 40s a bonnie to my clyde. I feel like I'm on my own in the ways I think and I'm crawling out of my skin going crazy in this time of Dior sunglasses, Luie Vetton or however you spell it purses, and apple bottom jeans.....I dont need no boots with the fur....

I feel a major picture bregade coming soon....I shall post as soon as I return
