Men At Work

Mollusk got some visitors this week. Tiki from Down Under. He refuses to wear any kind of  wetsuit and doesn't like pants regardless of the weather. Tiki was cruising through NY with his wife and taking in the sites and sounds of the city. He stopped by a few evenings to chat about stories from back home, "Mals" a.k.a. Malibu style boards, and the kind of subtle V BK a.k.a. Barry Kanaiaupuni shapes in his boards. Tiki is a shaper himself and mows out some logs and various fish shapes. He even dropped by with a bamboo fin that he shaped by hand. Incredibly light and strong with quality craftsmanship...

...and Alberto from SF! His timing was impeccable. He smelt the 'za in the house and showed up right in time for some chow. Homeboys been on the grind from sun up to sun down. School visits, art openings, galleries, bar hopping, eating more pizza, and sleeping in abandoned warehouses in Bushwick...

Lurking in full effect at the Vans closing party for the Autumn Bowl. Dudes were throwing down in the skate jam hard body. OG Christian Hosoi was in the house flyin' faster and higher. At the end of the jam, he walked around and shook everyone hand and thanked them! Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Fyah Island's finest Q-Sherm was slidin' more rails than the Studio 54 bathroom...

International male model T- Honey was bonkin' wall rides all night...

OG H.J. layin' back in the cut...

Fresh of the truck, two new Kookbox log's shaped by Wayne Rich ...
