Goodbye crap surf of the SB summer, hello this weekend.

Enjoy, everyone...I'll return to the blogosphere when I'm back in civilization...I've got some tasty treats from the past week in the boatyard to share with you all shortly.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEW!!!!!!!!!!

9'0 Fo' Sale

9'0 x 23 x 3 Pointer...MmmmmMm.

lightly used and in reeeeeal nice shape, hardly a pressure dent on it.

Slightly rolled bottom, 50/50 rails and a thinly foiled nose; she loves to turn and has a real sweet vee panel off the tail that slips'n slides you right into the pocket.

Askin' $575.00 and she's located in Santa Barbara.

Midlength Madness

I've been all about midlengths for a few years now and it's been a little quest of mine (amongst too many others) to nail a couple of designs that just plain stoke people out every time they ride 'em.

Midlengths are tricky business and I finally feel like I've nailed two designs pretty hard...One for juicier waves, and one for head high and under days, both get my blood going just thinking about the lines they've been drawing recently...a really smooth mix of powerful flow, glide and some deep carves to top it off.

Call me stoked.

Here's Travers Adler showing us how it's done on v.Bowls...Step 1, the planning:

step 2, the execution:

step 3, rejoice:

For me, the coolest thing about these is that everyone who snags a few waves handles them with some serious conviction right off the bat...heres Connor getting finding some time in the slot on the same board:

...shape it and they will trim. Greg Swanson poised for success on Silky Love:

red fin for the win.

Management

It's a tough thing these days, trying to follow your heart without following the falsities that are flashed and danced in front of you. The farther I remove myself the more I feel like me and the more I feel like that's a good thing to be.

Growing up a normal middle-class white kid in the US, I was told by modern culture that I needed to have to be a legitimate human being. These are most of the things that seem to slip through my fingers when I have them "at last"; leaving me with my truths and my intentions and few physical things. While my path through life is becoming anything but normal, it's 100% mine.

Sometimes looking from the outside makes you wonder how you got to where you are today. This is where I am this morning:

This is where I'll be this evening:

A visit to True Ames fins out in Goleta never, ever, disappoints...The first time I went in there I had a wee heart attack, so many fins, so many sizes, such a beautiful sight!
