colin posted this up, i grabbed it. texas 10 toes!

these fellas from the Louisiana swamps below aren't so picky about their food. the irony (is it?) here is the best cook i know is from the swamps in LA. when he was growing up, he'd grab his gun and go out to get what ever it was he was going to eat that night.
i poached this minute clip from the history channel's show swamp people

cheyne skasic's '29 ford roadster and his blackboard flex pig!!!

cheyen skasic cc'd me this via surfapig@live.com: Hey gene, I wanted to testify again on this flexpig. I've been riding it non stop from bolsa chica and huntington cliffs to San O and really put a good beating to it. This board is Indistructable I cleaned the wax off today and there isnt one pressure ding on it. The board is probably the best board purchase of Id say 20-30 boards ive made to date. Still finding things I love about it daily. Keep on doing what you are doing.Here are a few shots of the board and my 29 ford roadster pick up...maybe i'll make the long haul down to San O one of these days with it!

i'm hoping Cheyne brings his flex and this beautiful ride to the pig luau on june 18!

hodge podge! flex! LACMA!

gene sent me this text: the bottom photo is my 9'0 before sanding. Top photo is maddog's 9'4" on the top and your 9'6 on the bottom. Shaped blanks to that i responed NICE!!! this shaped blanks photo draws me IN!

i went to LACMA yesterday on a field trip with my school. i love that shit. this is a photo i am choosing to post...however it seems amateur (which it clearly isn't) compared to some of the works there. humans are capable of some amazing sculpture and painting.
this guy was picking a mean string out by the tar pits.

surfsister!

gene sent me this pic of surfsister finding that clean slide on her cooperfish blackboard flex pig.

she then (upon request from me [ after i saw the above pic from Gene]) sent me the following via surfapig@live.com: Oh my god, Mike! This board is fantastic!! I thought, once I got it, it would be a beast of a board to surf. Well, it isn't. Maybe it's because I already have a pig. Maybe it's because the board is just perfect. Who knows? Gene is a master!

NICE!!!!

greg landers!

i was trolling the information super high way and saw this by greg landers...NICE!!!
