Blood Sucking Maniacs Are Loose!
5 days ago
Big ups to Matthew for letting me get all bohemian at work! While the name is more complex than the design, these Vans Organic Canvas Rata Plus are super comfy. I love secret gifting. Thanks for keeping a lookout for me. See you soon!
Speaking of bohemian... It's the summer, Friday afternoon and about time for one of these:
Rad little teaser of a video by the folks at Korduroy TV. This was hipped to me by NC's own, Ryan Tatar.
I noticed some Greg Weaver footage in there. Duane and I interviewed him in Park City a couple years back. Mr. Weaver proved to be both humble and hilarious. I'm sure that Duane would agree that hanging with him was the highlight of our trip. Here is a snippet of that interview:

My oft-mentioned friend, Duane, sent me a surprise package a month or so ago. My daughter was extremely excited, as it had all sorts of toys and goodies stashed inside. With my interests, it was difficult to tell which items were specifically for me or for the 2 year old. There was a smattering of fun and random trinkets, all packed carefully with thought and anticipation. Thanks friend! T'was ahsum. I'm glad you liked your response delivery.

I was a little worried folks were thinking this was turning into a blog about hats. Nope.
The above pic is probably one of my favorite photos that I've ever taken.
And it was nabbed with a 35mm disposable camera no less.
Shot in El Porto, Mr. Scott Rhodes is taking his Galveston crafted Fry for a test-drive after one of the numerous rehab sessions. That board went through a lot and probably weighed twice as much as it did when it was originally purchased. Always fun and ready for a stroll up the bow. It's currently the wallpaper on my phone.
Here's the history of the board from Scott himself:
"This board was my first long board, given to me by my parents in 1990. It survived flying out of the back of pick up truck, floating (scraping) down a very shallow Guadalupe River, two cross country LA - TX moves, and still pulled off the steep drops of dumpy Manhattan Beach. Many, including me, rode their first wave on this board. She will be remembered fondly. Custom built 9'0" Fry board out of Galveston, Tx.
80% of the top had completely delaminated, so we had to cut off most of the deck and reglassed it. She rode once again, and gave many surfers their first and last ride. As stable as a coffee table, she turned where you wanted to go (as long as you were on the tail!) The last man to ride her was Powell Williams. Tragically, he passed away soon after, so we had her painted (Bret Toyama, artist) and dedicated it to our lost friend. (PDUB)"

Another Duane shot from his time here in NC a month or so ago. This one is at Kure Beach, NC. Coming in from a tiny surf session on my 80's Becker 3-stringer log. Heavy, slow to turn, and way fun!
Best Flyer Ever? Yes. That pretty much sums up what will be going down out west. Jealousy & yikes at the same time..jpg)
Just picked up the Durham Bulls new road cap. Kept it clean with blue, grey, and black. Fun touch switching out the orange for this one. Anyway, I swore it was wool, but it ain't: New moisture wicking fabric (polyester) replacing the wool hat. No more sweat stains, cooler and not going to shrink like the wool version! Yurp!
