Avoid The Noid, Fear The NEARD

The Neard is a rare beast, vicious and manly yet timid. It only comes out at night and does not cast a shadow, if you see the Neard proceed with caution 'cause they are known to bite, but not hard. Luckily we have capture this specimen on camera. If you care to see one up close, its still lurking around the shop, which is the Neards natural habitat.

But don't say I didn't warn you

Does anyone know? Most say don't do it, but I don't think they know either. It says right on it that it works. (Greenough)

The Fog...

...is in the air, and in my head after them green beers... Hi.

St. Pats Night, or how to make/drink green beer

I couldn't do this at the shop cause I had no time today, (he he heh) but now I can! (since I'm not getting too crazy and staying in for the night) You're right, not much to do with surfing or the shop. Except that it is one of America's most popular and very important Holidays! A day committed to drinking GREEN BEER, ALL DAY LONG! I've heard it means something else, but not so much here in our most wonderful country! First off, the night before, eat something healthy, like this giant plate of asparagus raviolis accompanied by no less than one whole zucchini, one whole carrot, one whole orange bell pepper, some fresh chopped garlic, and a wink of good luck. This should help with any Irish car bombs, shots of whiskey, many green beers, or the fact that you started drinking at SIX in the morning, maybe.Next you will need beer. I suggest a light colored beer. I think most bars use Bud Light or something equally as cheap and yellow. Now this choice is not Irish at all, but if you do yer research, neither is this Holiday in this darn country! We R USA, we do what we want! I almost went for Bud, but thought Stella would be equally appropriate, being yellow in color, and not from Ireland! Plus it's almost my birthday so I figured I deserved the better taste and quality. I know some of you would argue that point, but this is about surfing, so just hold yer horses.Next up, you'll need some food coloring. I suggest green. Since this is the ultra modern world of technology, science, and fashion, they now offer different shades of green. Or maybe you are an aspiring artist, and would like to mix your own color, just like them fancy resin tints on dem dare surfin' boards. You know how they say these days, in total political correct-ness, "Just keep it green, bro." I got NEON green. It wasn't liquid, like that guy said. More like a paste, toothpaste? So mixing it into the beer was a bit of a hassle. I did not ruin a beer trying to stir it in. I accepted the challenge, and made a premix solution, therefore not harming any fresh bubbly beer. (thankyou) After you have made your premix (if needed) pour either before, with, or after the beer. I chose with the beer, so as not to further agitate the already unstoked beer, due to its origin changing it was about to face.

Here you get a glimpse of the green premix about to forever change the life of this not even Irish Brew. Oh the horror!

And here it is, the finished product! So beautiful on this day of Americanized Irish Holiday! Completely ready to be enjoyed by some confused soul who thinks he is actually part of something big! In this case, that would be me.

Oh the horror! A Belgian Beer disguised as Irish, shot against a Mexican Flag surfboard by an Englishman!

Such Glory in it's Green-ness!

Still looks good after it's used! Happy St. Pats!

Happy Feets

As a blogsterous hipster, I must always keep my eye out for photo opportunities. I saw this one and thought it was neat. These cool cats grabbed some kick arse Bings and a Mandala, shredded 'em, and we're gonna ship 'em over the pond for them. Wonderful display with the footwear, thanks for the photo dudes! Arigato!!!

Blah blah blog....

So the boys are foldin' up them new shirts, and I'm feelin blahg. I said via in that last post. In previous posts I've said things like small kine and personal slide. In real life I don't really say such things. Is it the bro-down? The pressure of hipsterous blogdom that I have put myself into? Did I just see a film called The Present? Have I been in the industry long enough? Not long enough? Maybe it's my long distance myspace relationship that lets me type every day? Am I in love with computers? Are the Japanese taking over the surfing world? Do you read Thrasher Magazine? Is Griswald coming in tomorrow? Do I really just miss my girlfriend? Have I not been surfing enough? THATS IT! Well, the last two. I'm done now. Check out Svrf&Destroy. They might be able to help. Me.

It's a Bird-It's uh....

Planer Tees just arrived via Sean from FWD Screenprinting. Art by world traveler Chris Del Moro. Also got some good 'ol Sprout tees in, but I'm too lazy to takapicha. Is this real life?

I HATE CARS (when they don't work)

So my truck died today. So stoked! Maybe I need a new chopper. We are right next to a chopper shop. The new trend that will never happen in North County is surfing bikers. But there is at least one- His name is Juice. Sick of the expense and troubles associated with transportation of the four wheeled variety, Juice had his beach cruiser converted into a pseudo chopper. Here he is performing daily maintenance checks required to keep him on the road and semi-safe, cause totally safe wouldn't be any fun.


Built for speed (low) and danger (high) this is his main transpo. The Good 'Ol Boys at Moreland Choppers assembled the Beach Assault Vehicle for a small fee, which surely delighted the young Juice. Lookout for him on the highway, he could use the help.
