Echo Beach

Echo Beach is playing at the Lido tomorrow night. See it, it's rad.

Alaia Wake Slide

If you've been wondering (or even noticing) that there have been no blog updates this week, it's because I'm visiting my Grandparents in Sandpoint, Idaho.  In order to cope with the separation from waves for a week (because wakeboarding just doesn't quite cut it all the time) I embarked on an a little wegener/sutton inspired experiment.  Turns out alaias are perfect for dragging behind a boat.

Airstrikes Against Bodyboarders

Apparently angry surfers have been taking drastic measures to keep body boarders out of their lineups. Military air strikes.

Hand Planes by Gully

With all the buzz about hand planes, Gully couldn't help but try making some. I was shocked by how much of a difference a hand plane makes on a wave. They're super fun, and the Gull has applied his precise craftsmanship to these little planing devices.

My favorite part about having them in the shop has been how many people ask why we're selling wooden sandals.

There's the new reef sandal idea, forget a bottle opener, how about a sandal/handplane... let's see it happen.
