kicking ass and taking names

Best rap cover ever, Lissie covering Kid Cudi.

Geriatric Beige

So, I get ready to glass this thing, tape it off, cut the glass, etc.  Then I realize, I am out of white pigment.  The next closest color I have is beige, which is either going to look like a million bucks, or a buck ninety nine.  I am thinking that white hardware, logos, and a white pinline will do the trick.  We'll see...

Getting Skunked in Style

This is the serenade that played as we rolled up to one foot slop. Thanks Blitzen Trapper, getting skunked never felt so good.

Sunshiney South Haven

Super fun session at South Haven today.  Only a hand full of guys and a really punchy inside section.  I believe that is Ryan catching a wave on his Dharma.  Where have these days been all summer?

FIST pump

This board has been a collaborative effort with a lot of different surfers, and the shape itself is kind of a mix up between a fish / groveler, Mini-Simmons and Lord Board.  To some it probably looks like a red headed step child, but I believe that it might be just what the doctor ordered.  The board is designed to make the most of lake waves, which move slow,  give you enough time for a few good pumps, and a solid turn before it fizzles out.  Also, I have recently learned that I seem to habitually pump my fist when I'm stoked.  Hence the name, Fist Pump.

The Life Aquatic with Team Sisu

400 miles north into Superior Country and three surfboards found their home.  I thought it appropriate to photograph them in the bay that they will all likely cut into their first wave.  The colors represent Cycling Team Sisu, which means "Guts" in Finnish.  Here's a link to Sisu Cycles: http://www.sisucycles.com/
