friday night / saturday morning

Last night I went to the Pheonix to see Rob Machado’s new film, The Drifter.

I had already seen it. I own it! But, I went anyway because it was a gig organised by a mate Tids, in aid of the Tsunami Appeal. The place was sold out, which was cool for him. It was also good to catch up with a few old friends that I had not seen in ages. I bumped into Clicky, who shapes some boards for me, and Andy, and a few of the old staff members from Tads. So that was cool. Here is Clicky’s website so you can check his shit.

I didn’t go to the firehouse and get pissed like some, instead I got up at 6am and spent my morning here at Saunton.

Head high and clean as glass. It was amazing. Then I bought a new hood in second skin on the way home.

Oh. Don’t buy nine plus gloves. They look really great, feel really great, are really warm, but you can’t paddle for shit in them. And Tids is now selling both cool and cold water famous wax. Its great stuff.

I am off to Morocco on the 5th of Jan. I have had enough of getting brain freeze at north Devon so I’m flying in to Marrakesh and then driving over the mountains to Banana Beach. From there i have some of Europe’s best right hander’s to surf. Bring it on. THere is a good possibility that instead of a lone wolf kind of trip, aka the drifter, Sarah Strack may join me on my travels. Which is most excellent. She speaks fluent french, i dont, but morrocans do, so she can do the translating and ill teach her to surf. I think thats fair.

Oh. I bought a new office pet. Here he is. He is a bit retarded which is cool.

 

He basically has two jobs to do. Be super cool, as a rad crew elite pet should always be, and to catch crickets with his sticky tongue. At the former, he is good. Real good. At the latter, he is absolutely pants. What a windowlicker.

We can’t decide on a name. Possibilities include:

Lance

Walter

Flat Eric

Len

Juan

Otis
