THE TURN

A moment in time when the lengths of things started to drop...

FINE

Another fine vehicle from a simpler, gentler era... I wish you could go down to the Chevy dealer and pick up one of these all spanking new with all wheel drive...

PERFECTION

Why can't they just make a new one of these that's all green and safe and shit?... I know I would not be the only one in line...

CUTE

BEAUTY

BUFFED

Two OG heroes looking good in their prime...

GIMME SHELTER

SUPER FLY

LEATHER

HERBIE

Another great, squared off and committed bottom turn... This one is Herbie Fletcher in the early seventies...

CLASSIC

One fat, squared off bottom turn... It doesn't matter what era your from, you know this is all good... I think this is BK, or someone else doing an impersonation of the man... UPDATE, yes it is BK, and was shot in 1971 by the master, Jeff Divine...

SHADOWS

TOUCHE

A very interesting read should be had by all who are interested in the artistic dance we partake in, some compete in, but all have had their lives tweaked when we have fallen into the arms of her... One of surfings brightest lights has his own take on what it means to him, and it is a noble pursuit to know when the time is right to follow one's gut...

SURFBOARD SHOP OPENS

Tomorrow, Wednesday December 8th, my little hole in the wall opens for viewing surfboards... The hours will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday 2 to 6pm... Located in Montecito's lower village at 1187 Coast Village Road in the back of Richie's barbershop... Did a few simple pieces of gear you can check out on the S/DOUBLE site to go along with the boards... Stop by to size it up and talk story...

LOOKS MODERN

This old shot of Nat looks like the boards I have been shaping recently... Everything that is worthy seems to have more acts than their first...

RELUCTANT PROPHET

As time marches on, the work of this man seems more and more important... Thanks for being so engaged in the act of surfing...
