metal and earth

I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion. I want to know what it feels like to care about something passionately.

Coffee table delight

Yesterday

Sometimes we have to take a moment to look into the past. Maybe we too can find the passion, love, and thrills of the generations before us.

trying new things

Black Friday

Went to San O with my friend Michelle today funny weather but got some fun waves in. Nice to get away from the grind

Gully Hully Island and more

Work canceled and went and surfed HB cliffs this morning with Graham and saw greg and a few others there. Waves where fun but the lineup was crowded with HS surf team groms. After I cleaned up the EC pistolera and decided to take it to SHelter for graham to sell do to the fact that I'll probably never ride it now that I'm in love with the Almond Log. While there I ordered a 5'4 Mini Simmons Lemire shaped board, and picked up a ubber cheap 6'3 near new Displacement hull. So with the intentions of thinning out my quiver i took " one step forward and two steps back" haha oh well

Special Delivery Shelter Style

Shout out to graham for gettin me squared away with a custom Reunion wetsuit and this 9'7 almond Lumber jack

Displacement

Picked up my Fineline hull from Graham at Shelter today first hull I've ever bought hopefully the waves will pick up in the next few days.

The Sea it brings me back to you

Carlsbad camping and early San O story onshore winds from this past weekend

Grabbin Gears

Well things come and things go, I sold my rhino to get out of debt and am much more relieved. Bought some rear tires finally for the Coupe. Gonna really start plugging away at it as long as work stays somewhat busy. Next plans are to pull everything off the frame and de rake it back to stock the stink bug look is just not my style did a lil photoshop of how it should look and here are some pics of how it looks.

Innocent Vigilent Ordinary

"Oh No I Said I Think About The Times...."

Treked it down to San O saturday afternoon. Biznitchel, Ryan, Nicols, Drew Bitch, Dewey and Danielle all where there. I marinated my carne asada I always did and played dad. We surfed for about 4 hours saturday. It was good to all get out 5 guys all having a good time despite the high tide and walled surf....we made the best of it. Sunday morning didnt offer as good of surf a strong onshore flow mixed with a weird draining tide crapped it up pretty good. But in the afternoon I headed to Shelter Surf Shop to get fitted for my Reunion 3/2 fullsuit super stoked on that should be bitchen I always have a hard time buying suits cause my greek god of a body is not of the common man I have shorter arms and legs that of a dwarf HA HA larges always seem to be a bit long in the arms. Either way the suit should come out Killer Yo got my order and should be here end of next month. Thanks again to Grahm and Kim Day of Shelter it was a pleasure getting fitted.....and drooling over the Hulls that temp me each time is always fun too.

Pride and Joy and lost virtue?

Its been awhile since posting. Havent been up to much money is tite feel like I'm in the great depression just been surfing as much as I can its the cheapest and most gratifying thing I can do at this point and time. Really want to get my 31 coupe finished up but the time to grow up has come and I have to save my money this recession has really opened my eyes to the hardships that life can throw at us. All you can do is take it one day at a time and not stress too much. I go to Hawleywood's Once a month and meet with my friend Travis AKA Noodle to get our hair done. Its nice to have some sort of a tradition like that. We have been friends since grade school and both still make the time to get together even if its just to watch each other get our doo's did and grab a few beers afterwards. I gotta say Eli at Hawleywood's is the man. I have much respect for anyone that enjoys and takes pride in their job. The experiance there is top notch it takes you back in time. Its my favorite time of the month. Not much for photo's this month just a pic of my dooooo and some old photo's i've saved off google. Hopefully will have some San O pics up after our camp trip this weekend.
