CR FIN III



New film put together by CR Stecyk III called "FIN" is showing up Costa Mesa way soon... As cryptic as the OG is, I am delighted to see the show, can't wait... Ask around for the specifics on time and stuff... Also, I don't think these images top and bottom have anything to do with the movie, I just like them...

GIVE THANKS

ALL TIME


This shot of Tom Curren is at the very top of my list of all time favorite cutbacks... Almost could be considered vintage, it is hard to better the commitment factor... Hats off for burying the rail and riding the curve through...

FINE


Another fine vehicle from a simpler, gentler era... I wish you could go down to the Chevy dealer and pick up one of these all spanking new with all wheel drive...

PERFECTION


Why can't they just make a new one of these that's all green and safe and shit?... I know I would not be the only one in line...

HERBIE


Another great, squared off and committed bottom turn... This one is Herbie Fletcher in the early seventies...

CLASSIC

One fat, squared off bottom turn... It doesn't matter what era your from, you know this is all good... I think this is BK, or someone else doing an impersonation of the man... UPDATE, yes it is BK, and was shot in 1971 by the master, Jeff Divine...

TOUCHE



A very interesting read should be had by all who are interested in the artistic dance we partake in, some compete in, but all have had their lives tweaked when we have fallen into the arms of her... One of surfings brightest lights has his own take on what it means to him, and it is a noble pursuit to know when the time is right to follow one's gut...

SURFBOARD SHOP OPENS




Tomorrow, Wednesday December 8th, my little hole in the wall opens for viewing surfboards... The hours will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday 2 to 6pm... Located in Montecito's lower village at 1187 Coast Village Road in the back of Richie's barbershop... Did a few simple pieces of gear you can check out on the S/DOUBLE site to go along with the boards... Stop by to size it up and talk story...

This old shot of Nat looks like the boards I have been shaping recently... Everything that is worthy seems to have more acts than their first...
