T&C

I spent the last few days filming these two guys. It was a crash course of what's next to come in log shredding in both style and innovation. The stuff they were doing was brilliant and to see it in prime Malibu conditions was just magic.

Tales From The Black Van & The Japanese Motors

Checked out the new surf flick, Tales From The Black Van at Mollusk Venice last Saturday night. It was good to see some fresh logging footage, and the flick's lo-fi B&W vibe was a nice break from the recent batch of "shot in Super 16mm"glossy film looks. As always the Mollusk surf shop contingent and the shop itself set a great vibe and ambience, Brett is running a fine establishment. After the screening the crowd was treated to a set by The Japanese Motors led by Alex Knost who was just as engaging to watch sliding down faces as he was fronting his band, here are some video grabs.

22 DREAMS

A brand new offering from Paul Weller hit our shores last week and I think it's amazing. A friend and I were reminiscing recently about the days when you would just get lost listening to a great "double album" with your cushy headphones on. I think this may be one of them for me.
