This man and his style are so timeless and spot on in my opinion... He took traditional clothing and busted it in such an effortless and masculine way... Not shouting that I'm rough and tough as with other choices from his day... No leather jackets or bad boy trimmings... SS

I really like this photo of a young musician starting out... Before it all got crazy and new and shit... He looks like he could be a cool surf kid from your beach... I always like the photo of the very accomplished person right as it was starting to happen for them, before they become the iconic thing they became... SS

UTILITY PORN




Any one of these three vehicles could slide right into my garage if I had my way... Perfect for the surf gear and a road trip... Got my eye out for that next whip... SS

Just like the mighty penguin, when the batteries fail... Got me jumping through a hoop of real fire, kleenex wrapped round the coat hang wire...

NO CARES


Who would not love to enjoy this beach and sky on a fall day, and of course a 5 foot left running up the beach just out the right side of the photo... No worries, keep it simple... SS

THUMB UP


At first glance it seems as if Miki is giving this kid a cool and friendly thumbs up... Then it hit me, I think he is telling this stoked young grom to get the hell out of his face... Either way, I am feeling the two long channels on the Greg Noll board... SS

WAYNE LYNCH


All of us have one favorite surfer, skater, skier or snowboarder that was just in the right spot for our evolution in the thing we live for... For me, as a young surf guy, the dude was Wayne Lynch... I think we are pretty close in age, so he was not from an older group ahead of me, but my same age group... Boards just dropped in length and the movie Evolution came out soon after... For me this is the iconic shot that was the mackdaddy of them all... I made at least a dozen boards with the same big black band and two little boxy stickers on the bottom... Today this photo has the same gut feeling for me as it did forty years ago... Damn, did i just say "forty years ago"... Holy freakin' mackeral... Hats off to Mr. Lynch for jah inspiration... SS

MR. MIKLOS DORA





So out of the blue Tom Adler walks up to the studio with Mr. Dora to say hello... So you could imagine my delight to be meeting the pops of a icon from our world... At 96 years young Mr. Dora has a twinkle in his eyes that is unbelievable... It is very affirming to meet someone engaged in life for the whole ride... Posted are some of my favorite surfing shots of Mr. Dora's offspring... SS

LOOPWHEELER



This big box shows up at the studio... Suzuki-san from Loopwheeler in Japan surprised me with this big ol' bearbrick guy... It's tightly covered with the killer fleece they use on their goods they produce in Japan... Very interesting what the fabric does to what usually is a shiny or smooth kinda deal... Thank you very much Satoshi... SS
