Nigel's

Nigel S. took a little trip out to the left coast and shot me a few pics he took while he was surfing in the SB area...I'm dreaming of:

Painted Cave

Kabir sent this photo over to me last night from his view of the fire from up in the hills...pretty insane no matter which way you look at it.

Also check out Morgan's Bogus Blog for some more stunning views of what's going on here in town.

FireProgress

Took these yesterday starting at around 1:30 when the first flames spouted, pictures were taken every couple hours through the day from the shaping room.

This morning the fire was hardly visible at all, by about 2:00 I was watching flames that must have been a couple hundred feet high, spreading all over the back of the riviera, from the water here in town...now it looks like armageddon again:

Hullibut's fine fin, flexing the day away.

I'd like to think I'm at the leading edge of cameraphonetography, but I can't say for sure.

Reluctantly Crouched at the Starting Line

Keith Novosel sent me some more shots of Albers and the Vamp. that really stoked me out...Can't say I've seen these angles shot often at malibu, its cool to see something new; and especially to see a good friend of mine burying some serious rail!

May Day

So, I feel like typing, lets chat about Trevor's new board...7' x 22 3/4" x 2 3/4", slight pull int he nose from my ever-favorite She hull template, mashed with a tail template that Kyle and I drew from the bill of one of my hats...much like Othello, but pulled in a tad bit more.

The belly on this board has been pushed back a few inches in search of more projection and roll for the summer, the rails have been bladed like a mofo, and the rocker is nice and flat...I'm really excited to see Trevor ride this thing, he's ridden Dead Sled and the Vampire board over the past few weeks a bit and has taken to hulls like cinnamon to horchata..........
