Collabo Emerald Barrel

My buddy Tony Farmer has been borrowing the beloved Collabo board that I did with Josh Hall like 2 years ago. Yes the board is still around and despite its slightly battered candy shell its still magic. This is one of him getting a little emerald tube action in the badlands of east NY. The photos were shot by Matt McGinley. Matt is a radd photographer check his stuff out here.

As rad of a surfer Tony is...he's and even better Skater. This is him doing his thing in the Autumn Bowl. Brooklyn What!

I've been anxiously waiting for this board to be sea worthy ever since it took shape back in march. It finally arrived about two weeks ago and I got to ride it for literally 3 days. The 3rd day is when tragedy struck. It came in the form of a nervous barney that was sitting on his board on the inside. While I was surfing by, barney got nervous and thought that I was going to crash into him. In a panic he decided to dismount his board and push it in front of me. It was too close I couldn't do anything but jump off my board and hope for the best. When I got back to the beach I found my board laying in the sand with one of the leading fins dangling off. Luckily the fin wasn't damaged and neither was the board. I punched the fin off and paddled back out to try to cheer myself up and salvage my session. The rest of the session was pretty good and I let the board sit for a week until I started production. The fin is back on now and getting a fresh hot coat tomorrow. Your never safe. Beware of the ghost in the shorey. Unnecessary beef is more cows to feed. Peace.

Legend Lore

At first glance I thought it was "The Swamp Thing". However the primordial looking figure in the photos is Wind and Sea local legend "Kneeboarder Steve".  I saw him while meeting up with J. Hall at Wind and Sea last week. Josh and RK said that Steve has been kneeboarding at Wind and Sea for as long as they can remember. I was blown away just watching Steve gracefully slide, while dodging the dry reef and remaining completely elegant. While surfing at Wind and Sea for the first time the next day with RK, Steve was out there so kneeboarded a couple waves on my 5'5 Keel in honor of him. Keep Shredding Steve!

East Meets West

On my current visit to San Diego my amigo Josh Hall

showed much hospitality in letting me shape myself a board in his factory, which he shares with Larry Gephart's protege Daniel Partch (Who had insane war stories from his time served in the Gulf). Aside from letting me shape my board in his factory Josh agreed to collaborate with me in it. This the first board I've ever shaped on Cali soil and its turned out to be a Grey Ghost x Josh Hall Collaboration/Double label board. Big Ups J. Hall. Hall surfboards haul ass!
