nostalgia via necessity.

schedule seems to be at odds with what little surf there has been to experience lately. it'd be a big lie to deny wander lust. the idea of warm water and consistency sounds utopic. without definite prospect of travel on the near horizon, nostalgia is setting in.

weber ski.

cool old dewey weber ski from the 70's. the weber ski is the board that nat young rode in morning of the earth. a hull bottomed board developed during the short board evolution. awesome piece of surf history. picked it up this summer. super good condition.

groovy 70's logos.

smith westerns.

went up to chapel hill last sunday 1.30.11. to catch some tunes from the smith westerns at the local 506. the boys (in the band) were young. extremely arrogant. looked like girls. a blatant marc bolan/t.rex rip off. that being said, it sounded f*cking great. killer guitar tones. sick hooks. and good fun w/ friends. worth the drive.
