Sea Lion – King of the Beachbreak

While out surfing this morning, a rather large sea lion nonchalantly swam in front of me. Glad he was in a good mood, because he could have easily thrown down.
Orb Weaver Spider at Dusk

This orb weaver spider has a large web set up between an orange tree and another tree in my back yard. I found him sleeping in an a leaf on the orange tree yesterday afternoon, and decided to take some pictures of him at dusk when he wakes up and tends his web.

Saw this little dude surveying the Heirloom Tomato plant in the backyard. How cool are his dark metallic green fangs? Yeah, you’re right,…… that cool.
Alaia surfing sticks
March 18th, 2010 • Art, Culture, Slice O' Life, Surfing
I just built these two alaias recently. Inspired by Tom Wegenger. The first one I made was the 5′ out of an old oak and pine laminate desk top a friend had found. The 7′ alaia is made out of marine grade plywood. Both alaias finished with boiled linseed oil.
The 5′ alaia is too small for me to surf, but it’s really fast to ride prone with fins, and is possible to kneeboard too. I can’t wait to take the 7′ one out on a good day with nice peeling waves. It’s been mostly windswell lately, with nasty closeout beachbreaks. I took the 7′ alaia out in a lumpy beachbreak swell and stood up for a few fun short fast rides. I can’t wait to take it out in smoother clean peeling waves! Both boards are 3/4″ thick, with roughly 1/4″ rails. The 5′ is 17″ wide and weighs 8 pounds. The 7′ is 16 1/4″ wide. It probably weighs around 12 – 14 pounds. It weighs 17 pounds! We’re talking old school. Ancient Hawaiian Surfrider Old School.

A little self promotion never hurt anyone, right. I just signed up to bandcamp.com. Looks like a pretty straight forward website for sharing and selling your own music. Just what I need. The only drawback is you have to upload each track to an album one at a time, but who cares.
