Son of HA

Nobody shreds more than Chicken, not even his dad's secretary. Amidst all the stone kold he managed to carve this one out for his mate Chef Goldy. Looks like a moon-tail quad, height and dimensions variable. Stand tand tall HA, pet the kat and shred like a man.



Kids' wetsuits and rashguards from XCEL are in. Keep it HB in the shorey at any age!


Speaking of HB, HA was getting internationally sweated early arvo styles. Some of you may have been surfing.

A 27 minute "DVD montage" by Eduardo Madera and Andrew Kidman that comes with the new x-treme release of Litmus, featuring rad animation by Mark Sutherland, Mullet canned-beverage antics, Derek Hynd discussing 'economy of movement,' Wayne Lynch and things retro for better not worse, rare Dave Parmenter footy in the shaping room & surfing a 9' Bob Simmons dual fin and of course Neal Purchase Junior shredding like a man. Soundtrack by the Brown Birds from Windy Hill. ESSENTIAL!

The Girls Are Coming

Charles Gocher (1952-2007) lost a battle with cancer at the age of 54. To celebrate his life/death the remaining Sun City Girls, Alan and Richard Bishop have been touring North America in memorium and literally spreading CG's ashes. They'll be in NYC at the Knitting Factory Sunday. Thursday nite's Boston show featured a 40 minute film-sampler of select Gocher works and two EPIC acoustic sets by the Brothers Unconnected, plus vaudeville, comic relief, religion, the Celtics and the Kennedy's. And to think no ETOH on tap...Get blown out!

Relevé will open Friday June 20 with a reception from 6-8 PM and run through August 15. Gallery hours are: Monday - Friday, 11-6 PM. Andrew Edlin Gallery, 529 W. 20th Street--6th Floor.

Dain Thomas of the Sea Cell sent this shot of his dad's shed. The color of those boards says it all and brown channel bottoms do go faster.

CANNESURF

KLM New England hausitten sans Gribble Cam and subsequent seperation anxiety. Checkin' an inbox, TDC sent these from a recent trip to Cannes, where reportedly there weren't any surfboards within 50 miles. Nobody out either, where was Didier Pitier?

Bemused Fatigue

Things cooled off a bit today, it's only 86. Summer Rain came across this during a recent reverse-rodeo round-up sesh...


Been talkin'bout holding some clinics this summer, the proper way to apply sunscreen, sport a camo-leash or how 'abstract expressionists need to feel bad about themselves.' Bubbie dropped an impromptu waxjob clinic this afternoon with his new CC glider as guinea which he later rode with a red fin and red matching Molluskine proto-trunx somewhere on the south shore of Long Island? Hay Spacone!

Just off the Swift truck, BOOYAHA!

5'1" Casper shaped by Mr. Joe Bauguess as part of the Hydrodynamica test-pilot series.



5'5" Magic Carpet by Larry Mabile for Swift. A collab between RK Gloomenthal and Mr. Mabile and quite possibly more foiled than Dub's 5'5" Lis. For serious shredders!



6'0" Andrew Kidman diamond tail from Swift, designed by AK and shaped by Larry Mabile. Shortboardie rocker, rail and foil just in case you cared about shredding.



Speaking of AK, Mr. Kidman hand-shaped these two lovely fish for a couple of friends in Japan. Paging Dr. Diknamwer...
