Will Surf for Food

I went to pick up Thomas this morning to head to Bolsa and he was standing in the street holding a cardboard sign that read "Will Surf for Food"

I'm fairly certain he managed to make it while standing on the curb waiting for us, although we'll never know for sure.

Simon Perini

Was super stoked to finally get to chat with Simon in person. He was in town from Australia, and picked up a 5'6 Kookumber to take back home.

Simon and his Wife are wonderful individuals.

Here are some of Simon's wonderful photographs.
































Best wishes my GiG Amigo.

Almond in Taiwan

I hung out with our Taiwanese distributor, Jerry Yee and Matunas' Matt Mattoon yesterday.

Here are some rad photos of Almond represented in Taiwan that Jerry shared with me.

(Notice the almond shirt on the guy in front of Jerry)

Keith Novosel Australia Adventure

Here are some photos of Keith, and his 9'10 Almond Log, living it up down under.

We had a blast at Sacred Craft this weekend. Met some great folks and hung out with some new friends.

Here's a photo that Zane sent me of Nathan at Sano for your viewing pleasure.




















Big thanks to Taylor, Oden, Carl, my Parents, Mochi, and everyone for helping pull things together for Sacred Craft. It was a super exciting weekend.

Sacred Craft Surfboard Expo

Come down to the Del Mar Fairgrounds and visit us at Sacred Craft this weekend.

The show is open from 10 am to 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Here's a sneak peak at our booth.

Cam and the Jammers

Here's Oden and his new 9'4 Lumberjack with a fabric inlay deck patch.

The board will be on display this weekend, at Sacred Craft, just so he has to wait a few extra days before he's allowed to paddle this gem out.

SWELL

Some select Almond T's are now available from swell.com as a part of their new Core Shop Directory project.
