Sh!t We Love (+)


scope the 6'4" winged round-pin in the new issue of Surfer Magazine in the Sh!t We Love feature. That makes two months of pelican appearances in a row. Heavy!

It's pretty humbling, honestly. It's one thing to have a photo of someone shredding on one of your boards show up in print (amazing); But to whittle it down to JUST the shape, the lines and composition of the board (especially a clear sanded finish one), is a compliment that's reading off my normal meter. I can't tell you how many times I've found bits and pieces of my work through the pages of surf mags, to be a shot of the back of my head, or hands, or silhouette, anything that doesn't spell out anything about my work without being an article; but this. THIS one does it clearly and plainly.

I guess I'm trying to wrap words around something I have no words for, so I'll stop here.

Humbled and flattered.

Unless the editors were REALLY into the texture of that wall.
