Journey of a Quad

surely the life path has many turnings. it dips & bends, rises & descends. the roadsigns are joy & despair, wholeness & disintegration, achievement & disappointment, strength & weakness, belonging & loss. we who do travel upon it would do well to heed its lessons, to tread lightly, to walk gratefully, to help one another upon the way.

Mysto Cali

Found this picture of my old Toyota, from a trip up to Big Sur/Monterey before moving back to the Bahamas in 2002. As you can see, noone out and a fun chest high left breaking...

Thats a 9'6" Velzy on the roof. Glory days...

More english humor

"long term chart's looking about as enticing as an offer of a lift from a
moustached transvestite with an axe and a body bag on the back seat."

Bros Who Knows

Some of the best friends I have made in life, are the result of surfing.

Jefferson Lopes is one of them. By far one of the most gentle spirited

people I have met, plus a great shaper. That's his son Nick in the picture above.

Abracoes, Irmao!

Some scenes from the weekend at the Fish Fry

in Wollacombe, Devon, UK

nothing a gwaan inna babylon

Well it's looking like we're moving to the Brighton area this summer...

At least there's some good music. if not waves...

Also, I have started a new blog, that is more about music,

and randomness, so this one can remain more surf related.

Check it out and let me know what you think:

Rednecks and Rastafarians

Pavel Dog Pile

The UK Fish Fry was a huge success, and I thimk it is safe to say that everyone thouroughly enjoyed themselves. So much so, that at the Jube bar after, Manny, Chritenson, myself, and the crew from Scallop(portugal)had a dog pile on Pavel after he won a game of fooze(or was it booze?)ball...

I would like to publicly thank Jules, Skelly, and the entire crew at Gulfstream for being such perfect hosts.

Jim, Mick, and the guys at LOKBOX for organizing the event.

To everyone who went, it was a pleasure meeting you all,

and look forward to seeing, and hearing from you again.

The memories(and possibly the hangover..) will last forever, and am looking forward to the next one. Did I hear something about Portugal?

What Makes Someone Build Something?

Whitby Cathedral built 14??

Of course its in ruins now, but to walk around it,

and see the scale - even of what's left is inspiring.

Doesn't hurt it overlooks a classic NE UK wave either..

My Old Rides

Found some pictures of my old car, and scooter from my days in OB, California.

Good days....ah, the memories...

'69 Squareback. The best year if you ask me for style.
Prior to that, while living in SF, my mode was another '69

Innocenti Lambretta SX200, with skimmedhead, and expansion chamber exhaust.

It would pull wheelies, and make all the bikers double take as I passed them

on the freeway at 70mph...

All the lights worked too. Look out ladies!

What went wrong?

As always, Derek Hynd has a great comment in the Surfer's Path

about the state of current surfing:

"There's so much muck; Imean, surfers are just so stupid sometimes; they have to face up; the message is so distoreted. What's been done to the Fish for example is just a disgrace."

Anything but 3

Well, those guys out in California really know how tho have fun.

lucking into good waves more often than not. why did we all
