Rhetoric Man

One from yesterday as seen by Dalton Portella somewhere east of Moriches...


Checkout these new cotton/polyester lined zip-up Pelican hoodies! We have 'em in blue,black and brown, Dave Muller did the drawing...



East Village apartment shaper David K. Browning came by yesterday to pick up this Bunker Spreckels-inspired beef-stick that Brian Wynn glassed...




Cornelius Blackpool sent this pic of his son Cornelius Blackpool Junior donning a Mollusk tee and mustache. Rad kids unite!


...looking at some small sliders in the AM with offshore winds...

Dat Rosa Mel Apibus

Richard Kenvin sent this funny little drawing...


There's rad footy of him as a kid in Steve Soderberg's "Ocean Fever" shredding a 5'10" Caster tri-swallow w/80's pink & orange spray...so insane. He, Bud Llamas and others take a trip to a some big-wave mysto island and score peeling rights... not unlike the vid-still below of soul-retro scandal revivalist Dan Diknamwer...

-5'10" Pacheco quad

Spirit of Azure Vista

Crucial clean and green session at Puff Cats this morning! Hope ya'll got some surfy love, very few people out due to the cold. Got in the car and was greeted by Van Halen's 'Jump' followed by 'Wish You Were Here' but for some reason had the Kit-Kat theme music in my head most of the session...weird. Hadda bounce toward Babylon at 10 to open the Fun Zone while Dubstar and Bubbie repped the 7'6" Long Quad fish that Mr. Josh Hall so graciously shaped us and had a BLAST! Talk of tube, trim and roundhouse cutties....seeeeeeeek! Thank you Josh! Some cool pix of him and Skippy inspecting boards in the Spirit of Azure Vista...

New Mollusk boardsocks arrived so we're reppin the full run! All the fishy sizes are back in stock. More XCEL rubber arriving this week. It comes in as quickly as it goes! Must be the recent frequency of fun-kine sliders......Tally Ho!

Other Ways to Blaze

Marc Andreini sent these pix of a vintage 5'6" x 22" x 3.25" keel fin fish that he shaped way back when. Even "Cowboys of the Waves" eat fish from time to time...

Thanks Marc!

Zoned for Fun

"I usually don't mess with kickers" said 16yo Gabriel after asking if he could try-out the ramps. Can you belive he's only been skating for two years? All rad tricks landed!

Crucial Chaos

Satellite series in the hour of Dressing Room chaos! Respect to everyone who reached last nite in the freezing cold, was a great night for snuggling. Strictly long-players early on due to only one working turntable, followed by flying needles and Dubstar dodging electric shock while dressed as the 6th Beatle (Geppy's the 5th). Deebow behind the bar engaged in pretty lady conversation, ignoring drink requests and verbally abusing the DJ's while plying them with drinks....Wicked ago feelin it today!

KLM Brothers in Darkness/Sons of Light...


Shady taking his dance moves to the street...


Next movie nite is February 6th at ROPE Bar, 415 Myrtle Ave in Fort Greene Brooklyn.

A Hull-oriented Fineline order should be here in a few weeks. Stone cold fascist ones like the Micro-Dirt to more user-friendly ones like the Micro-Ant. Speaking of user-friendly hulls, Mr. Andreini is currently mowing our next batch which should be at the Haut shop sometime late next week for lamination. He's making a run of Vaqueros starting at 6'0" and ending at 8'10"...a little something-something for everyone.

Around-the-block Vaquero slider David (Dahveeeed) came by this arvo to fondle the Bulkley's some more. We got talking about his childhood in PR, surfing macking waves with Peter King and the Pet Shop Boys video he did when he was 17 which has been making our Thursday...Check the Rusty tank top!

Tommy 'Snapwater' Colla sent these pix of the Dirty Jerz last Friday. Dub and Dutch hit it with the spirit of Azure Vista, a packet of Reese's peanut butter cups, 1 apple, 1 gallon of water and no gas!

Look, palm trees in January...

Mayonnaise Monday

Back to Biz on this cold-crisp MLK Day! Hope ya'll got some surfy action over the weekend. Friday was del fuego in the Dirty, a regular footers paradise if ever!

Some humor to start your week, Brady Dollarhide (real name!) brought in the newest model from GROM SKATES, the 'Mayonnaise Sandwich.' No doubt coined for Bubbies questionable relationship with senior men in hardware stores that sell knee-pads and club sammies.



Save the bones for Henry Jones!
