Rob Kulisek | Liquid Salt

I just read the Liquid Salt interview with Rob Kulisek. Check it out, I think you will enjoy it.

He's a creative dude, and he's doing some really original stuff.

Among my favorite answers:

What are you most grate­ful for?
Being an artist, being left-handed, the gift of sal­va­tion, and being able to noseride.

Almond Fins by Mark Stavron

Mark Stavron (o'Fish'l) is helping us get a whole line of our fin templates done as fin-box fins.

Mark hand foiled these sample fins for us. They're gorgeous.

(10" Huck template, and 10" pintail fin)

Just let the pure beauty of them soak in.

Mollusk | SF

I visited Mollusk while I was in San Francisco last weekend. Needless to say, it's a rad shop. They've used the space so uniquely; including the tree house they built inside the shop.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're ever in SF. Plus, there was a really good coffee shop halfway between Mollusk and the beach.

Hann Alaias | Korduroy TV

New All Yew episode on Korduroy TV: Sam Hann talking about the alaias he makes.

He makes Nathan's alaias, and he's a super nice guy.

Finless Foamie Fun

Inspired by some of the recent experimentation by Cyrus and Ryan Burch, our Northern seafaring amigo, Mikey, opted to saw his soft-top in half. Looks like a fun little upgrade.
