Novosel Film Photos

Here are a few film shots that Keith Novoseltook while he was visiting. Beautiful photos of the shop.

YouTube Gem

Here's a video that Nathan's friend stumbled across in the YouTube universe.

I'm 99.9% certain that the 1st and 6th waves are Nathan.

Talented Amigos

2 of the most talented guys around... Kyle Lightner and Theo Hetherington, hanging out with me at the Almond Grand Opening in March.

Happy Birthday Tyler

I surfed Sano today with Nathan and the San Clemente crew for Tyler Warren's birthday.   Super talented folks.

Novosel Photos at Blackies

Keith Novosel came out and took some photos at Blackies last week.  Waves were marginal, but Keith is a champ behind a lens.

Riviera Magazine

Check out the article on Almond in the April edition of Riviera Magazine.

Haha, I think the "Surf Shop Studs" on the cover is referring to myself and Robin Kegel.

Westuit Preview

Wetsuits are navigating their way towards the Almond shop through moderately thick foliage.

Here's a sneak preview of the new es.cent.ial suits that we're doing the collab with.

200th Post

I just noticed that this is the 200th post on the blog.  We're celebrating by showing off Nathan's new log.

Nosey Nate at Sano

Took Nathan Adams his slick new 9'9 yesterday. We surfed doho and sano all day, and he was killing it on his new board. I was super happy that he was stoked on his new sliding vessel. I could brag on his behalf, but I'll leave it up to you to ask him about it.


























































Here are a few photos of Nathan at Sano from last week. Gotta check with Nate on the photo credit.

Happy Birthday Taylor

T. Allee turned 18 yesterday, and celebrated by surfing with Gully until he was purple in the face.

Fine Surfing Boards - Easter Weekend

Cameron came home from Mexico to pick up his 6'4 kookumber.  Taylor picked up a 5'10 shortboard for his trip to Mazatlan.

"the board is awsome!

rides soo good, super fast, and the turns are so smooth.
thanks again!"

 

Pickled She Hull

Check out Tyler Warren blazing on Ryan Lovelace's She-Hull.

Krochet Kids at Almond

Krochet Kids International beanies are now available at the Almond Shop.
Our friends over at Krochet Kids have a really rad thing going. They went to Uganda, taught the women how to crochet, bought them a house and employ something like 11 women full time who crochet beanies and the guys sell them over here.











































Super rad dudes, with really good hearts and they surf good too.

Support sustainable business.

9'4 Lumberjack

Zane's new 9'4 Lumberjack.
