Canada steps up
If you don’t think Canada is about to become a major surf destination then you’d better think again.
“Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world. The coastline includes the mainland coast and also the coasts of offshore islands. The total length of Canada’s coastline is 243 042 kilometres.” — atlas.nrcan.gc.ca
Take a look for yourself and pack a warm wetsuit.

“Thingiverse is a place for you to share your digital designs with the world. We believe that just as computing shifted away from the mainframe into the personal computer that you use today, digital fabrication will share the same path. Infact, it is already happening: laser cutters, cnc machines, 3D printers, and even automated paper cutters are all getting cheaper by the day. These machines are useful for a huge variety of things, but you need to supply them with a digital design in order to get anything useful out of them.” - Photos for Eddie Vedder – Listen free and discover music at Last.fm

The Epitome of 1986
The Gonz never fails to inspire. He may act crazy now — but you gotta love him. 20+ years of style personified.
The Epitome of 1986
Toss your hammers and bangers to the wayside for just a minute and focus on this classic image of Mark Gonzales doing his thing in Eugene, Oregon in 1986. One of the original street masters of our lifetime, many eyes follow Gonz’ line as he draws upon the simplicity of a boardslide with style. — Photo by Paul Zenk

Art for a Dollar
Excellent statement on the American dollar from artist Scott Campbell. Wonder how many bills are in each piece?
“Critically acclaimed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, recently showed his work at the O.H.W.O.W. gallery in Miami, FL. The highlight of the evening was a series of laser-cut etchings, each on a stack of $1 bills. The collection is entitled “Make It Rain” and shows a sampling of the artist’s dark and beautiful undertones.
Scott Campbell was born in rural Louisiana and began his career illustrating before mastering the art of tattoo. In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn where he perfected his signature style. More at scottcampbelltattoo.com.”

Johan is in the process of starting back up to make some more fine boards after taking the winter off.
“The spring season is upon us, and if you are like me you are stoked to be getting some cold early season waves. This post is to let everyone know that I am in the process of finding new digs to shape in. If you are interested in getting a new board shaped for the coming season or some travel destination, get in touch with me and we can discuss what you are looking for in a board. Then as soon as I am setup the shaping will begin. The contact info is all on the contact page.”
