ROSS WILLIAMS / (N11)

I WAS CLEANING THE SHOP AND I CAME ACROSS SOME OLDER MAGS. HERE IS A COVER SHOT OF ROSS AT J-BAY IN AFRICA. HE PLACED SECOND IN THE EVENT AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOTS. I LIKE THE WAY HIS BODY AND BOARD A (N11) IS POSITIONED. WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING ROSS'S BOARDS FOR MANY YEARS AND HE IS A GREAT GUY AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. WISH HIM ALL THE BEST!

SURFER AND ARTIST

HERE IS THE "MYSTERY ARTIST" WITH ANOTHER ONE OF HIS CREATIONS. THIS BRADDAH IS TALENTED. HE RIPS THE WAVES AND HE RIPS THE CANVAS. THIS IS ACRYLIC AND THE TITLE "FROM KUALOA TO CHINAMAN'S HAT" HE IS AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST!

SMART PEOPLE USES SMART CARS

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TINY SMART CAR WE SAW IN PARIS. IT'S VERY POPULAR THERE AS THE PARKING STALLS ARE PRETTY TIGHT. WITH GAS PRICES BEING SO HIGH, IT'S THE SMART WAY TO GO. NOT MUCH ROOM TO SQUEEZE YOUR BOARD IN THOUGH

GROMS

HERE ARE A FEW MORE KEIKIS THAT GETTING LESSONS FROM COACH RAZAMATAZ. THE KIDS DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN AND WANTED TO SURF LONGER. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE STOKE OF SURFING ON THE KIDS FACES. LOOK AT THE FUTURE EDDIE AIKAU SURFER IN THE MIDDLE. ONLY A SURFER KNOWS THE FEELING.

SPAIN (ZARAUTZ)

HOLA
THIS IS A SHOT OF THE SUNSET AT ZARAUTZ IN SPAIN. NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO IN THE WORLD WE CAN APPRECIATE GOD'S BEAUTIFUL CREATION AND HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO BE ALIVE. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN A LITTLE AFTER 10 PM. I WAS AMAZED AT WHEN THE SUN WOULD SET.

THIS IS BRADDAH JOHNNY AND ME GOING OUT TO DINNER. IN SPAIN THE FOOD IS DELICIOUSO AND PEOPLE ARE VERY NICE. YOU CAN SEE THE BUILDINGS THERE HAVE HISTORY. THEY ARE HUNDEREDS OF YEARS OLD. I AM GLAD I GOT TO SPEND TIME THERE AND EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT CULTURE. GRACIAS

EUROPE

BONJOUR

SORRY FOR NOT UP DATING THE BLOG. I WAS ON A SHAPING TRIP IN EUROPE. ANYWAY HERE IS SOME OF THE SITES I SAW THERE. THIS IS THE EIFFEL TOWER IN PARIS. IT IS RECOGNIZED ALL OVER THE WORLD AS A LANDMARK OF PARIS AND FRANCE. I GUESS IT' S ONE OF THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD. THE OTHER SHOT IS LOOKING STRAIGHT UP THE EIFFEL BUTT. WORDS OF ADVISE THE FRENCH LOVE THEIR DOGS AND THEY LEAVE THEIR BROWN FRENCH FRIES ON THE SIDEWALK SO WATCH OUT!

MERCI

QUAD MADNESS

EVERYONE IS QUAD THIS AND QUAD THAT. WELL HERE IS SOME MORE QUADS. TEAM RIDER MR. A GAVE THIS ONE A SPIN AT D-HEAD AND THE VERDICT IS THUMBS UP. I RODE IT AND GAVE IT GOOD REVIEWS TOO. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE ONE OF THESE IN YOUR QUIVER. IT MAKE SURFING INTERESTING. ALOHA AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
