the ABSOLUTE best the WEB has to offer

Stranger than Friction... filming for "Stoked and Broke" from http://vimeo.com/apeel on Vimeo.

after a couple of years of blogging and viewing tons of other blogs, this is the best thing I have discovered (it is from korduroy.tv but I ran across early pictures on the hydrodynamica blog, both incredible sites). The surfing in this video represents the thrill I've been searching for my whole life when it comes to sideway stance sports...its the classic "lunch tray" ride down the snow bank to the umpteenth level....the surfing makes me smile everytime, and it explains to me why I gave up snowboarding for snowskating....the board being ridden is a straight chunk of foam, no rocker, no glass, no rails, no fins, no lams, just good old fashion float and excuse-less surfing...congrats to all involved!!!

Lakeside protos 39" & 35"

Lakeside from new Hampshire contacted me a few weeks ago looking for a custom longboard that he designed..... Included in the email was a decent drawing of the design....lakeside is a big dude, somewhere in the 6'4" range... His design called for a big wheelbase.. Longstory short I was short one ply.. Six ply prototypes pictured here, both flexed to much... Waiting on a shipment of long veneers ... Love this design ....he called for a swallowtail and notched front wheel wells ... To be continued

Half way through on the cambered mini

The Past Couple of Months now

my brother has been telling me about this movie that combines climbing, surfing, and exploration, called 180 South directed by pro surfer Chris Malloy...

....a few weeks ago I finally saw it. I think about it daily ever since. Somehow the surfing and climbing become secondary to the story...I cannot articulate what I like about this movie, if the trailer captures your attention, then watch the movie, you will truly enjoy it...if you surf you gotta try snowskating this season, and if you snowskate and would like to try surfing beware of surfing, it can ruin your life (or make it)...lots of behind the scenes snowskates stuff going on over here, please send pics of snowskating I'm seriously ready to start focusing on the winter...thanks for checking in, kev

ps I can easily envision a snowskate on that movie, more so then a snowboard

viva snowskating!!
