Will This Fit In My Truck?

This is like porn for printers & artists alike. I love the sound it makes & I'm still amazed at the quality of printing from a letterpress as old as it is.

ALMOND SURFBOARDS & DESIGNS

I stumbled upon this shop online awhile ago but I figured I'd share it with anyone that hasn't had the pleasure of checking it out. Dave & crew over there in Newport, CA are really churning out some great product. The boards look gorgeous and the overall vibe and designs really capture a different essence then most surf shops. They follow much in the footsteps of the new frontier shops that MOLLUSK has spearheaded, but still take it in their own unique direction. Makes me wish I lived closer to these finer shops... I still have to fight the traffic of Long Island & NYC to get myself to the Mollusk NYC shop, but oh it is always worth it. It's always been a dream of mine to own a shop and these stores really capture the essence of something I would love to be a part of... so support the good salt shops out there.

Ground Swell (finally)

Well it looks as if we will finally be getting some long period ground swell headed our way by the end of the week and into the weekend. I think this is the longest we have had to wait for a named storm in decades. Now we just need the winds to work with us...

Throwback Cruiser & Other Classic Rides

I won't even tell you were I picked up this cruiser because you wouldn't even believe me... and I'm not really too proud about shopping there... but c'mon could you pass this ride up? She's a darling of a ride... just wish I was in a beach town someplace where she could really stretch her wings. I guess Wrong Island, New York will have to suffice for now.

The vintage whips are from the Sayville Street Fair > I couldn't get enough of them.
