COFFEE
Self portrait starting the day grabbing a coffee... You know that point when your Vans get worn in just the right amount, almost too hammered to wear to dinner, but they just feel right?... This is one of those pairs in their prime... This could sound corny to some, but for a lover of the game this stuff matters...

FROS AND TWINS
A big influence at a very influential time, Larry B. at the zenith of the scene... For me, one of the best times to be a surfer, the world moved slower and more to a jazz beat...

NEW YORK SHOW
The four boards in the photo below are going off to New York for this gig launching a book on an era that happened right as I was starting my own board company, way before I even thought of making clothes... My buddy, Tom Adler, art directed this book of Mike Moir photos with Jamie Brisick in charge of the words of this moment in time... Check out Kelly as a grom on the invite...

WORKING
Sorry for the lag on this blogfront, I have been in Hawaii for awhile and recently returned to Santa Barbara and have been working in the board studio... Drove six new boards to Moonlight down south for them to do their magic on the glassing, painted some up in all their eighties regalia... Also working on boards for myself and a few buddies, I will keep you posted here as things develop...

A DREAM
The list is smallish of things I would really like to own in my lifetime, and at the very top of that list sits this puppy... A 1954 Bentley R-type Continental with coach by Pininfarina... This is the ride for my next chapter of life, of course a surf vehicle would sit elsewhere on the property at the ready...

DOWN BY LAW
Check out this movie if your looking for something to watch... Jim Jarmusch directed this film with John Lurie, Tom Waits and Roberto Benigni in 1986... It is one of my favorites...

MY FAVORITE
This is my all time favorite wagon... The lines and styling for the very early sixties is perfect...

A DUDES RUN
These shots strung together have a boys life vibe to them, hanging with your buddies, plenty choices having to be made, major consequences from those choices, etc. etc... As my boys become teenagers I find myself reflecting on my adventure at their age, what was I going through, how was I feeling about things... Recently I rewatched A BRONX TALE directed by Robert DeNiro, about a bus drivers son coming of age in his neighborhood, in this spirit I put these photos together as a west coast version...

S/DOUBLE BROGUES
Just arrived... These beautiful longwing brouges showed up, Made in England by "Sanders and Sanders, Ltd" with the help of Mark McNairy on the east coast... I put on a wedge sole and silver eyelets to get it more in the work/uniform category and away from the too little of suit wearing kinda dudes that frequent this particular style... Whew, that was some babbling description... Anyway, I used two textures of leather on the uppers and kept it at that... I hope you like these as much as I do...
WOODY G.
Gotta love the impact made by this dude, also his style sense seems to be very timeless... Check out the suit and shirt in the bottom photo, the salty dog get up in the middle photo, and the top picture seems as if he could be in The Clash, Joe Strummer seems to have taken notes from the poet... Anyway, just some babbling observations from a lover of the game...
