SEWcreative is Motown Bound









My buddy Ian hit me up to help spread the word about his new project he has going on over at SEWcreative.

He is embarking upon a road trip to Detroit, pretty sure they are in Salt Lake City as I type this.

Taken from their site Motown Bound, this is what they are all about.

We at SEWcreative believe Ford is doing great things; from refusing government bail outs to shedding light on homelessness in America through the Invisible People Project. We also believe that we can help Ford come alongside human beings in unique and genuine ways that simultaneously drive real and measurable social change. So... with the help of our good friend Stewart of the Krochet Kids, we are driving out there to let them know!

Life is our journey, this is our mission.

5 days, 5 events, 2600 miles, Costa Mesa to Detroit.

Motorin'!


Take a gander. Also, this is surf related because more than likely, Ian surfs better than you.

Toons

Here's the latest skit from Jason and his buds @ finktoons

Me getting punched in the face by a chick

The scene of the crime

I was in Vail CO a few weekends ago for some snow slashing.
It never ceases to amaze me how totally belligerent ski towns get after 2'Oclock. I know, I know, elevation and what not but seriously nobody can really handle their shit there at all.
So the story goes ++ This poor dude walked out of the restaurant we were walking into (in the middle of posh ass vail) at 7:30PM and proceeded to projectile vomit a 5 foot stream of chuke all fucking over the place. I know, damn hilarious. What's not funny about barf? Anyways, me being the asshole that I am immediately went for my point and shoot (love that little elph) and tried to get the tail end of the chunk blowing. His lady didn't like that very much and smacked the fucking shit out of me. Full on punch to the nose. Such mixed emotions. I was laughing, deserving, and incredibly pissed all at the same time. If i was from Jersey I probably would have snookied her ass.

Check out my sticker placement bro

this photo's from the wall of shame in the Kanvas By Katin office. Cracks me up every time i walk past it.


Lovin the new trend of sharpie drawn corporate logos. Thanks Dane.

Freshie

Picked up this gem today at Furnace. I've been longing for a square tailed 8.5+" for a while. With Lance Mountain art i had to set it up on the spot or else i would have ended up putting it up on the wall. I can't wait to ride pools allll summer.

Introducing...

Massa Tom!

TJ is a good buddy of ours. We go way back. I've posted some videos and photos of him in the past, his first post is below.

I took this photo of him when we were maybe 15 or 16, somewhere in Maui.

Fuck. It's not working. I'll try later.

knotty pine

hello. knotty pine is a song by Dirty Projectors & David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame). i made the music video for a film festival at school. radical song

Don't Fuck with the Ocean

This whale has killed 3 people already...No, it wasn't Dave Rastovich or any member of Whale Wars. Maybe next time.

Yes, the Orca below has ripped that seal in half.

Anyone else want to party?

Jaws

I was in Malibu today and had to pull over to take a picture of this. It has to be a good 7 feet tall. Hopefully whoever put it up will touch it up soon, its fading a bit.

Count the assholes

wearing this shirt on St. Patty's day at the bar this year. I'd recommend a clicker of some sort or maybe even a sharpie to do a hand tab. You'll sure as fuck need something beyond fingers and toes.

Killing time waiting for dudeconomy to pick my drunk ass up, I stumbled upon the new Daughters single I've been anxiously waiting for. Been wayy into this band for awhile(03), so needless to say I'm looking forward to March 9th and the release of their newest record.


Quite a departure from old daughters . . .

Stupid Shit That I Find Hilarious

read it via the link below (it's easier):

http://www.woosk.com/2010/02/awesome-email-chain-about-disguised-weapons.html

I just lost my shit reading this, you may or may not be severely disappointed. I'm pretty sure it's old as fuck too, but I don't care this is the internet after all.

Why I hate SanO


This post has been along time coming. I'm ready to vent. I Peacefrog, completely confess that I can not stand the new crew at San Onofre state beach.

Today was a prime example of what irritates me the most about this place. . . The fucking new jack hipster loggers. I don't care how you dress (lord knows I get ripped on for my threads), what you ride, or even how vocal you are. I care about your fucking attitudes. Primarily focusing on the oh so evident staring problem everyone seems to have. What in the fuck are you staring at me for?

Seriously somebody please tell me if they have noticed this and please share any thoughts or ideas on the matter. Maybe I'm just an over analytical asshole who needs a xanay bar.

I sat watching 1 foot windy dribble for 15 minutes today and counted 3 different sets of beamers giving me neck. Straight eye balling the fuck out of me. I'm minding my own business looking at the ocean, not high, not paranoid.

As my tinted front windows began to roll up I also began to speculate. Checking out my board? No. It's in a bag. Me? No, I'm not that interesting. Car? Can't be, it's nothing special. Then what? I came to no conclusions except these. . .

++ The recurring traits every eye baller seems to share are as follow++ Shiny black westuit or odd color scheme wetsuit CHECK! Heavy log with resin swirls CHECK! Smug attitude, staring problem, and not smiling Mother Fucking CHECK!

Surfing experience extending beyond 5 or so years (or whenever sprout came out) EHHHHHHHH. Nope!
I remember allot of faces (not so much names) from along long time ago and none of these staring individuals are familiar. They all seem new to me and their surfing ability backs that theory up nicely.

Sano used to be cool, mellow, and not a total scene. I'm afraid these days might have passed. God, I can't wait till longboarding goes the way of POGS and just goes back to being lame and uncool. Maybe then I'll have a comfortable place to surf down south again.

Fred

Every spot has one. You know who I'm talking about...it's that older dude who smokes cigs in the parking lot, shapes his own sleds, has unique style, flowy long hair, and a positive attitude?

Well, that's Fred.

I first introduced myself to him about a year ago by snaking his buddy. They both yelled at me. I apologized and Fred introduced himself and shook my hand. We've been acquaintances ever since.

Fred surfs, shapes, and paints his unique craft all on his own. He foils his fins too.

He seems to know everyone in the lineup.

Anyways, here he is with the squid. Looks somewhat similar to what the Mirandon's are doing with the Porpoise, as far as the outline goes.

Dawn of The Dead

This is my first EC as well as my first fish which I got in 2004. I rode it nonstop for 3 years until I got some new shit and put a hole in this one that I never got around to fixing. The board felt a little small (5'2") and I was just over it so I cleaned it up and stuck it in my room for some eye candy and it has been collecting dust ever since.


However this afternoon I was watchin my sports center highlights and it hit me how kick ass and fun as fuck this board was. So I fixed it up and will be recommissioning er tomorrow, and I'm thrilled.

L O L

Many times I ponder about this blog and think that it is full of non surf related web junk....then something like this comes along and I think to myself, "Who the fuck cares"

Maybe surfing isn't interesting enough to blog about every day. Maybe there is a reason I haven't surfed for 3 weeks.

Thanks Joey.

Back in the day



++I love old photos like this. This takes me back to the middle school days when these dudes were in high school++

Jody Lemmon of the bolsa chicos. Tim Senneff when he still longboarded, had dreads, and wasn't "SennelHoff" the lifeguard. And Tim Johnson who I really only knew of from watching Travis Karian's first flick "The Awakening". They won the longboarding state title back in the late 90's for Los Al.
I heard a rumor along time ago that the coach got fired for taking them to Mexico, then got drunk and stoned, then disappeared leaving the kids on their own. He might have crashed a car too, I really can't remember and don't know if there's any truth behind this. Maybe I'll ask Senny next time I see him.

" That's fucked up!"

Kicking it around Kyle Mcgeary for 4 hours today reminded what a funny little fucker this kid is. Talented little fucker too.

++A single session a few weeks ago++


++Frenching his best friends sister++


++McGeary's all about air reo's, AW cream sodas, bud, and McDonalds++


That's my McRib in the foreground (Fuck Ya I'm serious)

Thumbs Up Framing

I ventured over to Dick McCoy's on Sunday to drop off a print to be framed.

He runs Thumbs Up Framing with his wife. Awesome dude. Blackies icon. Stoke has always been a corny word to me, but I don't really know how else to explain him.

The walls of the place are adorned with photos framed and signed to Dick from the likes of Devine, Campbell, Templeton, etc. He always has cool stuff laying around and he'll talk story for days.

Anyways, here is one of many.

Murder Treats...

Josiah Gatlyn just got recruited as Ashbury Eyewear's newest am

Ashbury is a goggle and sunglasses company that my friends Nima, Mike, And Lance own.

Congrats to him and Ashbury for snaggin' him up

Come meet the s&d dunes at the Bear Face CD Release Show (mention s&d for a free ep) next Saturday @ Proof in Santa Ana. They opened back up the back patio for max loungability and its FREEEEE hope to see you all there

Instead of sitting in traffic. I opted to pullover and watch the sunset last night.

Music



It just seems so bland today, with all these watered down Pitchfork "Best New Music" bands it's refreshing to see bands that push musical boundaries. LIFELINE is a band who combines punk, reggae, and metal like no one else can. My band bear face was lucky enough to share a lockout with these legends. Please watch entire video to grasp full epicness.
