SUMMER COLORS

HARD TO BEAT

Time slows down on Kauai, hard to beat the pace of the country... Like the Paula Fuga song says, "country side always mo' bettah than town"...

REMIX

Here are some shots of another prototype I have been working on... A mash up exercise in two valid schools that I feel have certain limitations in their original state... Remixing the Liddle egg school with a feel from the Simmons vibe is my point of view... The neutral rocker and slim foil will fit in perfectly around long points this fall... 6'8"x 22" for D.B...

WOW

MAN and MACHINE

When in New York last week I hooked up with Michael Halsband. He shot a portrait of my ugly mug using a vintage 8x10 polaroid camera for his current project... I really enjoyed myself at his studio where he did this amazing tea prep situation that was more of a ritual... I wonder how the photo will turn out...

WORKING

A young, hard working band early in their adventure... I am feeling the sweaters...

BEACHCRUISER

Another cool version of the mash up of bicycle and motorcycle...

SUMMER

Summer is close, get wet...

PROTOTYPE

Here is a new little 5'6" hybrid kinda deal that I have been working on...

BEACH TOWN

Got back home to the beach where flagstone and sand replaced the concrete of the trip, but still a fresh pair of Vans does the job...

MEAN STREETS

Another self portrait of a fresh pair getting worked in on the steamy streets of the city...

T/ADLER

Spent some time with Mr. Adler in New York city this week... Cruised around the city and talked story about favorite book stores and stuff...

TWIN FINS

The "Hottest Hundred Yards" gig in NYC got off to a great start with a fun gathering the other night... A solid turn out of interesting people came out on one hot, sweltering night to stroll this small moment in time of our surf culture... Randy, Charles and the quik crew get a big thanks for including me... Check it out if your in the city...

CUTE

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...

MOWING FOAM

Self portrait of a day at the office... Grinding on some foam is great therapy...

PEEPSHOW

Paula shot this footage through my unfinished shaping room door... someday I need to get a doorknob in that hole....

FLOW

Down the line on tiny craft, TW with a simple gesture of flow... photo poached from Surfknot...

WORKSHOP

Paula has been taking really cool photos with her iPhone... Here is a little nugget of a workshop still life...
