Brighton

Great day at Brighton with a solid crew. A foot of new snow and guided by Jake, Jeremy, Seth and Brock made it that much better.

T-Minus One Week

T-Minus one week and I will be landing in beautiful Salt Lake City, UT. I will be staying at the luxurious Hotel De Hobbs. Unfortunately Annika and Finn will not be able to join me but I think some face shots (no Stone not those kind of face shots) will help ease my mind. Looking forward to seeing SLC's finest.

Peter Criss/Volcom

So maybe not the real Peter Criss but I was still pretty stoked to see this kid

Truth

I stole this photo from Josh Hunter's Facebook. It is so spot on it's not even funny.

Visitor

The showroom has been an epicenter of awesomeness the last few days. Today Mr. Dustin Ortiz flew in from NYC to pay a visit. Dustin is a very talented individual and chances are you have seen some of his work.

Bill Walton Loves Volcom

Visitor

North County's favorite son Ryan Burch stopped by the office yesterday to talk shop with Mike and I. If you have not seen Stoked and Broke yet check it out. Ryan is doing some amazing stuff for a 21 year old surf bum. Shaping boards, having art shows and killing Cardiff.

Bat Wing

I ate my taco into the perfect Batman logo.

Blast From the Past

Film Roll

Lost my digital camera (again) 3 weeks ago. Broke out a camera I got as a birthday gift last year and snapped a few shots.

Almost Time

Sitting on the living room floor watching Another State of Mind setting up a new board. I love this time of the year. I should be watching Subjekt Haakonsen but I'll save that for next.

Vegas

Great night in Vegas with Jake, Dre, Tanner, Brendan and Dawley. Surprised Jake for his birthday and we all came up at the black jack table. Can't ask for anything more than that.

When times get hard in the home stretch call in the pinch hitter.

Tis The Season

Denim's New Project

I picked up Denim's new project while I was out in AZ over the weekend. A 1963 Yamaha Santa Barbara 125. This thing is going to be the baddest little machine on the 101 between La Costa Ave and Cardiff.

In all it's mini bike glory

Why waste money on a trailer when I've got a truck?

Tunes for a Friday

Harry Crosby

Annika and I are lucky enough to have a couple pieces by her Grandfather, Harry Crosby. A Man of many talents. Here are 2 of the prints we have from him. Check the dates on these.

Searching For Sun

Woke up to a misty coast. Kevin, Dawley and I decided to head East in search of some sun. After 20 miles in the rain it looked like we might not find it. It only took a 5000ft elevation gain to do so.
The start of the rain

We dried off and ate some Breakfast at Pala Casino. I had flash back of the good old days of SIA

Photography

Finding some photos I took a few years back make me realize that I need to start shooting with film every now and then. I know Bruns and Stone have preached it for ages but sometimes it takes a little blast from the past to make you realize it.
