Give the Gift of Love

Our Amigos, los Krochet Kids are working on a new campaign for this Holiday Season.

{ Ryan Burch }

Cyrus' friend Ryan Burch rides an alaia as well as anyone in the world.

Here's a video of him killing it on his self-shaped 5'4 Fish.

Tom's Creation Plantation

I had the pleasure of spending a few days with Cyrus Sutton last week. He left me a copy of Tom's Creation Plantation while he was here.

I get a lot of people asking about making their own alaias, and I would definitely recommend everyone see this film before tackling the project. Tom Wegener walks you through everything from the design concepts to the execution of making your own alaia.

The alaia riding portion of the film is insane. Ryan Burch especially will blow your mind
in regards to what you thought was possible on these boards.

Stoked I got a chance to meet Cyrus and talk with him. He's an amazingly talented surfer and film-maker with a really good approach and mindset about surfing and all that falls under that umbrella.

Almond Video Teaser

The White Buffalo

If you like music... check out the White Buffalo's new album. It's keeping me super stoked, as I'm pulling together the final details of Tomorrow's event. (natural transition)

Cruise by the shop tomorrow for an evening of festivities, including but not limited to: A Live Performance by the Smart Brothers, The release of 4 new shirt designs, The unveiling of the first batch of Almond Trunks, The first public appearance by the newly released "Nathan Adams Model" surfboard. And we might even have a visual treat at the end of the night. A little teaser for a film we're working on.

The Living Curl

My friend, Jason, gave me a copy of Jamie Budge's The Living Curl, and I absolutely loved it.  Some really good early 60's footage.  If we ever get a TV at the shop, we'll be playing it on the regular.  For now, enjoy the trailer.

Nathan Adams Surfing San Onofre

Some great footage of Nate at Sano.  He even arranged the background music for the video.

The Smart Brothers

How rad are these guys??

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.

Sea Walking Blues

Christian, hope Aus is treating you guys well. California has the surf blues again.

Back to Basics

Even corporate America digs the "back to basics" vibe...

Blackies Footage

Here's some footage from Blackies last June.  Fast Forward to 7:55, you'll see Al Knost drop in on Ludwig.  Haha, it's funny...

Other than that, it's just a bunch of good surfing.  I think King Rat even made an appearance.

Tyler Warren

How smooth is this....

Picaresque Trailer

Judging by this trailer, I think Picaresque is going to be a must-see film.
