For Sale

I moved into a new pad and I don't have room for this thing any more.

10'6" x 23.25" x 3.25" (I think) Eric Christenson Pelican (Quad)

Triple stringer, Royal Blue/Navy tint, gloss/polish, glass in fins, deck/tail patch. In super good condition (minor pressure dings and 1 encounter with the rocks at San-O).

Asking $600, paid damn near $1000 for it new, Come with a day bag.

Paddles well and is super fun for small, lined up, peelers. I had one day at micro Cardiff that was particularly memorable.

It is currently at Katin Surf Shop if you want to take a look.

Ohh P.S. the S&D movie is going to have epic mammoth footy from an upcoming trip in March.

Rise and Shine

S&D fan Dustin sent this gem to our inbox this morning. I need to figure out how to make this the alarm sound on my phone to rise at dawn for slashing.

This right here

is a damn good song that I haven't been able to shake the last few days...

Mail Call

I ordered these records in November and they didn't show up until today. I had more or less forgotten about them so seeing them on my doorstep today was quite a pleasant surprise.



I got Virgin Witch's self titled 7" and the Cracked Pelvis ep from Mature Situations. Mature Situations is a shitty punk band and the Virgin Witch 7" is kinda sludgy and evil. They're both out on free cake records which has a pretty killer media library worth checkin out: http://www.freecakefreecake.com/main.php?p=media. The Surroundings album on there sounds choice and I'll be ordering it shortly.

On a related note I somehow managed to slip out of Amoeba the other day with two of my favorite records for under $20. Tom Waits' Nighthawks at the Diner and Billy Bragg's Workers Playtime, shit yeah for me.

FINKTOONS

My buddy Jason and some of his friends up in San Francisco have been working with creator Brandon Fink on a series of skits and animations entitled FINKTOONS, here are two of my favorites:

If you like what you see pay their vimeo page a visit and have a click around.

Killer Goggles Man!

Stumbled across this video via fellow b9er killedbydeath. I guess his buddies were stuck in Santa Cruz the other day after a surf and had to thumb it home 21st century style a la craigslist with some granola head, good on em for documenting it.

Inside the Gold Mine

I think I have posted about this Onion-esque blog before: Inside the Goldmine. Anyways, epic post this week.

Legrope-Free Purist Slightly Less Smug After Fourth Swim To Beach.














Toonalook backbeach, January 18, 2010. – Local soul surfer Carl Reid's annoying air of superiority took a well-deserved setback today thanks to a number of tiring swims to retrieve his retro twin-fin fish.

Reid, 23, met two friends, John Mcphee and Wayne Tanner at Toonalook backbeach lookout at 3.00pm whereupon they agreed on a quick surf despite the marginal windswell on offer and rapidly dropping tide.

“We were getting changed and straight away Reidy was on our case for how lame we were for using a legrope on a two foot beachie.” recalls Tanner.

“Thing is, I kinda agree with him but there's something about the way smug prick comes over all fucken-holier-than-thou that makes me want to punch him in that goateed face of his.”

Reid, who adorns his boards with Sea Shepherd stickers, continued to lecture his friends about their 'infantile dependence' on the legrope as they made their way down to the water's edge.

Onlookers observed Reid’s legrope-free posturing and body language with distaste.

Bea Smith, 78, a long term Toonalook resident, walking her beagles along the beach at the time, commented to reporters. “Look at 'im, like a strutting peacock that boy is. Poser is what I reckon.”

Disdain soon turned to joy for the eyewitnesses as Reid lost his board four times in half an hour.

On each occasion he was forced to swim all the way to the beach.

“It was magic” claimed a clearly elated Mcphee, “the first time he swam in he was all like 'it's a good workout' and 'I'm feeling the flow' and stuff, but you could see him getting more and more pissed off. By the fourth swim he was fully losing his shit, swearing and carrying on.

“He'd be madly swimming after his board and every time he'd almost get to it, a little whitewater'd come through and take it out of his reach.”

Mcphee continued: “Kinda makes me believe that there might be some kind of karmic force behind the ways of the ocean after all., 'Cos anything that wipes that smug fucken I'm-more-in-tune-with-the-great-mysteries-of-the-ocean-than-you-look off his face has got to be good.”

well fuck me to the ground that's bitchin

Thanks for sharing this link in the comments section below Nigel. This is why technology is so damn rad. It used to be we wouldn't see these clips until the next Jason Baffa movie came out. Thank you youtube, and thank you all filmers.

Bayshore & Ocean

I always find it mysterious to see ridable waves break in LB, looks like today was fun.

So a tree at my work got blasted by lightning right in front of me. It was awesome, but I can't tell if this video is too?

I Have A Soul!

Youtube gold? I feel slightly bad for this kid but this is too good not to post. I'd also like to throw out that this is two ranga related posts for me in a row and it is merely coincidental as I have no negative feelings towards them...

Facebook Revenge

Nevadical just shared this with me.
Check out this link to see some ultimate brutal revenge. Some Asian grom's sister ratted on him for having beer in his room and he got grounded for 3 months. Seeking revenge while searching her room, he stumbles upon her, hmm how do I say this, very detailed hook up list and uploads/tags it to facebook. Totally immature, totally awesome. Cheers Asian grom.

Best Skate Video Ever?

Holy fuck. It's like a combination of extreme walking, urban gymnastics, and skateboarding.

Surfin' Elvis

Snoogins has had one of these pinned to his visor in his car for a few years now. I have always really liked it.

They have a life sized cardboard cut out and figurine of Surfin' Elvis for sale on the internets.

Fonzer

With all this swell I have been riding the 6'6" EC Fonzer a shitload. I seriously can't say enough good things about this sled.

Found this floating on the interweb today.

I got in, then she shut me down, just like Prom 2003.
