ZEN AND FLOW


I cannot even start to explain how nice it is to have my new little surfboard studio up and running... I realize how much it has meant in my journey, how clothing and shit got in the way years ago... I am stoked with the way things are working out, and cannot wait to flex in that direction... Keep your eyes peeled for some new S/Double sleds to hit the water... Stand Firm... SS

NEW LAB


This has been a great two weeks around the S/Double studio... I got my new shaping room up and going, and today painted the first three boards in the new zone... Feels really good and brings a great vibe to the whole studio, finally getting back to what was my passion since I was thirteen years old... This is gonna be a great fall... SS

Dudes looking about as fresh as you can get... Gear is in serious order, glasses, time, kicks and hardware all simple and classic... How tight is the pad... SS

FAMILY SLED


Came across this photo of a great family/surf transport vehicle... Am thinking this is a good candidate for an aftermarket 4x4 set-up...

THE MAN






With the Tour start date just around the corner, I want to take the chance to give this dude huge props... Eddy Merckx ran shit, winning 5 tours right as the sixties were turning into the seventies, right when the counterculture was blooming... When gear was lowtech, and news traveled slowly... I dig the shot of him with DeRosa... SS

WORKSPACE


Check out P/Double's studio... Homeboy knew how to turn out the goods in a fly workspace... I would not mind having one or two of those gems sitting around... SS

GREAT SHOT


Great shot of Brando... I am feeling the sneakers and the whole pre-Bruce Weber vibe...

DC/GAVIOTA


Spent last weekend up the Gaviota coast, ran into Dave Clark on the beach... Good to see old buddies and talk story on a sunday with no pressure... We both were blown away with how grown the offspring are in both camps... Spent many good days on early Tavarua with Jeannie and Dave and their crew... Big John, Druku and little John were always amazing hosts... SS

QUIVER 1977?


This is my winter quiver for Kauai around 77-78 I think... These are all boards I built at the Brotherhood while working there throughout the seventies... I remember fanning them out in Bruce Cosbey's front yard in Kilauea and taking this shot... This era was really a great time on Kauai as I remember it, even I could get a wave or two out at the bay in those days... SS

GREAT COLOR


I have had this old photo laying around for years... Do not know exactly where it is, maybe old Killer Dana?... Anyway, I have always loved the handtinted color and great rusted pushpin holes... SS

WOW

Feeling like a Romeo Gigli boutique in the early ninties... SS
