today's Channel Islands demo went off. Waves were super fun, head high peaks, People were amped. This old guy showed up with a Quiksilver wetsuit and made a scene. Great Day. :-)
Picked up my buddies from ET Surf and took them up to the Channel Islands Factory. I worked with these guys at ET before I turned into a snowboard dork. It is such a good shop, the people make it a really special place in the South Bay. We even got in a little surf at Emma Wood on the way back , we thought we were ripping, then Timmy Curran padded out and made us all look silly.
Surfride hosted a big Demo at Seaside Reef today for all their customers to come down and try all the newest Surf product. Channel Island Surfboards was there in full effect. Waves were fun and the sun was out.. Summers here.
Day 2 at the Nixon Jibfest 2011 . Such a sick setup ,, Gunny and the crew from SPT did it right. They set up about 18 different features , some were just super fun , and some were pretty sketchy. Everybody stepped up and was sessioning all the features. We had two spin wheels , basically you had to spin your feature, then spin what trick to do on the feature. It was scary spinning those things. Chad was giving out 100 dollar bills for a completed challenge. I'm so beat from the day. The hot Tub is calling.
Nixon Jibfest 2011,,,, best ever. magazine and web/video coverage should be coming out by Oct.. :-) the kids are sure ripping these days.. I was blown away with the talent, and the attitude of the new crew we had for 2011.
Rob Machado hosted a really cool pro junior event at Seaside reef. Lots of really good kids ripping. We had the channel islands demo van down there and people were getting on new boards out to the side of the event. super nice weather and some really good waves,, and of course lots of Heckling.
