Them Mackrel caught a mean Velzy fin to the head.

Little olive oil, lotta spices, supa' tasty.

Dinner is served.

Nick Cook layin' it down on the rasta Hullibut...

I always urge people to push these boards in all kinds of conditions, Nick does that quite often.

I'm very glad.

Truth in Lines

My close friend and inspiration, Nick Cook, finding his freedom.

Nick Cook, pulling in on the most well-used hullibut to date...Brandon DiPierri shot this sometime last winter, it's a new favorite!

FFWD

I'm pretty constantly mesmerized by the way hulls move through water; every curve and every line is optimized and planned to create as much speed as the wave will give...efficiency is the name of the game and to get it you don't have to sacrifice anything in terms of how 'extreme' a shape is; You just have to understand what it's meant to do and enjoy the simplicity.

If you've ridden these boards you understand what this video is showing, it looks boring but the sensation and fluidity is quite a different story.

Stage III in Moving Pictures

Took some time to throw together a bit of a short on Stage III, a spoon, my daily driver (6'7 fish/hull thing) and some of my friends...hope you enjoy it...It was a blast to film and put together!

Nick Cooking

I'm sure you've seen Nick's name splattered here and there along the PCProgression, but lets go a little more in depth today.

Nicky has been pumping out some really killer photos lately; I'm really enjoying his latest work, and his hair is as majestic and glorious as ever.  

He snapped some specifically great shots of Lando and Albers spreading some Duckula over a non-descript point wave once upon a time...

I don't think nick knows how to work a digital camera, or at least i've never seen him near one, he's a master of the manual film realm and cares deeply about his subject matter.  

Nick's work is supremely unique and simple, usually black and white in nature, these color shots really caught my eye and I thought some of you kids should take a look at what he's up to
