some good stuff.

Grab the wheels, time for a Monday night ride in the woods. The skies were looking black and menacing, but somehow we didn't seem to care. We weren’t so much disregarding the fact that it was about to pour; as we were not wanting to let a little rain stand in our way of some fun. Needless to say it was a wet and soggy mess. Fun, but a mess.

Rule of thumb: when in doubt, GO.

Didn't have the waterproof Olympus along, otherwise i would have had some good shots, pre, during and post down-pour on our ride. Definitely some nice light coming through the soaked and humid forest after things moved on.

And, always a nice monday surprise to find the latest SBC Surf on your doorstep at the end of the day. Plenty of great stories and photos, worthy of some quality mind surfing time. Especially if your in the summer doldrums like here and haven't had any surf in a long while.




Surf or no surf, a gorgeous summer evening is something you
can't argue with.

DRIFT North America born July 16th, 2009. Well, in reality the idea and the percolation of this latest creative, collaborative, cultural surf spectacle has been in the works for a while, with many thanks to Joe Conway (Editor) and his crew based out in Maine. Expect regular blog style posting from around the world along with feature pieces in web reader format. These folks are no slouches when it comes to producing a slick online publication. For added variety make sure to also check out the European Edition of DRIFT, which is equally rad.
Jamie Watson at PineappleLuv got Joe to give a run down of the mag, so you may as well cruise over to her site and read his words for your self and check out her fine blog while yer at it.
Anyways, good stuff.

Perseverance and Pendleton plaid.


Yep, that's what it's about. Early mornings, long days, nice days, take some pictures, cold hands, smelly hands, wade, cast, break off, re-tie, hook set, burst of adrenaline, fish in hand, take a good look, do it some more.
