eavey mini simmons.

5'6" eavey mini simmons. 
little nugget of fun. slightly pulled in nose and tail. subtle s deck. glass on twin keels and a fcs stubby stabilizer. 
sold my last simmons before my trip out to CA. went to greg and told him i wanted a 5'6" and left the rest up to him. couldn't be more stoked on the outcome. thanks greg. this thing is a ton of fun. its a good bit smaller than my last simmons but im not missing the extra volume and length at all.

reggies fest.

what can i say about reggies fest. i f*cking love this bar as much as a man can love a place. i will happily drive 20 mins into town just to slam some drinks, talk sh*t with the boys, shoot a game of pool, hear some sh*tty/good music, or get embarrassingly drunk and not be embarrassed about it. reggies fest was everything i love about this place rolled into a weekend. good bands, good people, good times, hot dogs on the grill. matt, chuck, and rich many thank you's for all the good times.

thunderlip and asg. 8.24.12. brooklyn arts ilm.

more shows and more shows. everybody has been playing a lot recently. weekends have been rocking. last weekend thunderlip, asg and a handful of other local bands played the brooklyn arts center. another shining example of the multitude of talent this small town has to offer. the show was well attended. drinks cheap. tunes loud and the venue is cool as hell. big old church with vaulted ceilings and stain glass windows. good times.

christenson boneville.

9'6'' chris christenson bonneville. 
probably one of the best turning longboards i've ever ridden. pulled in nose, wide point back of center and lots of kick in the tail. i slapped a greenough 4a fin in there and love it. this board comes around quick as spit with almost no effort. it has a really shallow concave that runs almost to the center of the board. it noserides well in the steeper sections of the wave, not so well in fatter surf. also has some concave on the deck in the tail and a nice wedge stringer that narrows towards the tail. not sure if or how these elements contribute to the performance of this board.
mike was kind enough to give this to me on a demo from surf city. i had the pleasure of riding this beast for about a month before selling it to smith. during which time it became favorite board. fun in good surf, fun and shitty surf. a good all around board. deemed my bing a one trick pony. i was sad to hand it off. if you're looking for a new longboard in the wilmington area, head down to surf city surf shop and pick one of these  suckers up.
