Adrian Knott

Here are some rad photos that Adrian Knott, of Rake Clothing, sent me. Wishing I was in his shoes right about then... scoring some solid left point on the mini simmons he shaped for himself.

The Best I Ever Had

The Smart Brothers

Kookumber Inlay

The {Kookumber} might be my favorite board for chest to head high days. Really stoked that we've gotten some really good feedback on them this summer. Possibly the best looking one we've done.

Best Shark Video

It won't let me embed... so watch it here.

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.
