Thanks Thanks Thanks

Closer

I watched a documentary on Joy Division yesterday but really it was just about Ian Curtis. But he was joy division (the rest of the band really being New Order). It was really good and led me to appreciate the band more (oh which i am not a huge fan). Overall i don't feel it shed a lot of light on the band or it's inner workings but still a grand little watch.

Blackies was micros and sucking out yesterday but heaps of fun to slide. I really love that place and just wish i would catch it on the good days more often.

Below is the best Margarita i've ever had in my life... OH and it was the hugest and probably the cheapest. BOSS. below that is my sister Kacy drinking the best margarita

So i am back from Mexico aka the land of mexicans. Everyone in my immediate family went along with three other uncles familys. drank heaps, soaked the sun beams, went to piano bar and ate heaps. Grand times all around. pictures next time around

Yesterday i went to yo gabba gabba to record some songs. Put it lots of work and i think we got some really great things out of it. Below are pictures from the head honchos door. by the way i took a free wish and can't wait to cash it in.

summer doldrums

I cut the legs off my yamaha suit making for a super sick summer suit.
The waves have not been grand lately but the people i've been surfing with have been. Heck i even managed to catch danimal from svrf and destroy on a surftech before i paddled out.


the picture below is of a place in Long Beach that breaks every once in a while. when it's on it's on and you would be hard pressed to find an easier wave to get pitted it.

Why so serious?

So here is my first post that i ever did. It explains where i got the name for my blog from




The Beginning
i decided to start a blog in hopes that i could share some of the passion that i have for life and it's many facets (news, surfing, music ramblings et. al) and hopefully offer some knowledge, love or stoke on those of you who may read this; or at least provide you with something to check out every day.
I am also open to critisims, questions or whatever else you may want to share with me. It can be a two-way street. shoots


This picture was taken by Kevin Carter in Sudan. It is of a 2 year old girl walking to a food center. She would take a few steps grabs her head and lay on the ground to rest then try with all her might to get up and walk a couple more. Kevin also shot photos of the turmoil in South Africa before apartheid ended. In life he was frustrated by people not understanding why or what he was doing going into such places and taking pictures and in the end he killed himself saying that he was haunted by in ghosts of the victims he shot.

what a babe

There was an earthquake and thank god i survived it. I'm a survivor.

This may be embarrasing but i am really into America's Next Best Dance Crew. If you want to watch super sick dancing and get your mind blown then check it out. For realz.




Okay but for reals isn't this the sassiest thing you ever did see?


I love this monkey picture

Tales from the Black Van

So i've gotten/been given heaps of new serf videos lately and have decided to try and review some of them. First on my list is Tales from the Black Van.


All and all i really dug it. Saw it first on a bigger screen and a little tipped but it was a sick time. The music is great. Faster no sleepy time music from the likes of The Japanese Motors, Embalmers, Drowning Men and maybe more? Shot in exotic locations such as sano, newport, seal beach, malibu. Oh and it's black and white so it throws down a really great vibe. the best part of this video i think is that it has some of my favourite logg heads especially some that not nearly enough people know about like J Mell and the stopniks (although i think they should have shown more short board shredding by scotty). Super sick film all and all

24 Dollars 24 minutes there are worse ways to spend your money.

below is a different preview of the movie

I've ordered a new board to get me some summer stoke and should really help me whip my sled around and get way creepier on the nose.

Poufta Buna

Pictures i found from when i was hanging out in Romania. Beware there some of Dracula's castle and it's not nearly as macabre that
it should have been. I should be back there again for more trouble in next summer

Cj is super stoked on a new project that i think he should have done a while ago. He's started his own shred sled company. City Fog Surfboards (get it?) www.cityfogsurf.com website is not complete but i'm sure there will be more soon.
You can check out two board models here:
