The Upsetters - 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle -
One of the first dub albums to surface from the mega watt depths deep inside Jamaica circa 74. Originally released in a batch of 300 LPs, now available at your finger tips remastered and restored. If you don't have this, do yourself a favor and jump into the abyss.
More On
- A rare Pendoflex on craigslist. Sadly, no photos.
-comment- - This video-gif explains why there isn't a subset of surfers that drive around looking for gnarly roofs to drop in on.
-comment- - Traveling and surfing around Europe (and especially Portugal) by train sounds really good right about now.
-comment- - Kookbox (Joel Tudor's new board company) launches it's site. DONT MISS the trailer for the new jbrother film Shorter (Click movies/shorter trailer) or the JT Archive. I wish I could log as good as mini Joel circa 1989.
-comment- - I've been following Malwitz Custom shapes from his beginning. It started as a way to watch the east coast scene and the backyard scene grow at the same time. I really couldn't believe that surfing had spread so far and wide, that backyarders were popping up in major cities with intimidating routes to the beach. Fast forward to today and the duder's shapes are looking really straight and he's moved on to harder game, like hollow wooden rides. All I can say is "wow" and keep blogging & shaping brody.
-comment- - Surf Art Fridays: Chris Robb's alibi.
-comment- - Thomas Campbell has a brand new site up! It's absolutely insanely packed full of art, crazy films, a blog (we demand more blogging Tmoe!), a shop: (art, ts and movies, books, oh man...). Just go go go go.
The site is the work of The One Peter McBride.
-comment- - Drift Mag issue 07 is out now. You've got to give it up to Drift... they cover the surfing the other rags don't. It's the surfing you want to see... logs, fish, wooden shelf material as surfboards, thrusters, everything, AND they support the surf blog community. The content has only gotten better over time, but is Drift suddenly no longer free? Is it no longer a digital download? Has it tossed the free love direction it started out in, in favor of a traditional mag model?
-comment- - If you want to go to a real show, the one for the public... the one for surf RIDERS, not wearers, mark "Sacred Craft" on your calendar for the 11th and 12th of October.
-comment- - Would you believe there are still boards in the ASR? Check this thread on the erBB for proof. Some Highlights:
9 Fish, the kookiest of popout sellers has gone to new heights. (12 foot or so)
Insane channels
Bikini Babes
The SkyRock chinese pop out booth with a seriously lonely seller.

Cool find. I love reading stuff like this.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:42 pm
check out www.seshn.com its alot cooler.
April 7th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
hey brabster… if you actually work for seshn, that was very weak of you. Child like.
If you don’t, then never mind.

Hey, thanks for the mention. Just wanted to drop you a line saying that we launched v1.0, new design and all. We went silent for awhile last summer but have been writing good-original content since the end of last year. If you haven’t been to the site in awhile you should definitely take another look.
@brabster - seshn is a very cool site. I vaguely know the owner and respect what he’s doing, albeit a little different than 5ones. Apples-to-Oranges if you ask me. They’re different and to each his own… I like both.

I liked the action sports insider perspective, just don’t make me wade through ASP coverage to get to it. If I want that, I’ll wait three months for the print mag article. Heh.

Rob - interesting feedback, thank you. I can certainly see where you’re coming from. For what it’s worth - I’m trying to get the writers on a different track when it comes to ASP coverage, more original and unique opinion/commentary instead of just the bare-bone facts of what happened. Besides, you don’t really want to wait 2-3 months to find out what happened do you?

PS - You can easily ‘wade through’ the ASP stuff by clicking on either the brands or industry category links. And if you prefer your content through RSS here are the feeds for just those categories…

@ Mofo
Hey this is Brandon from seshn.com… Did not make the above comment nor did anyone affiliated with us. I actually know Cameron at 5ones and think what he is doing is great. I actually check it from time to time. Completely different model than Seshn, but they are doing a good job.

Thanks for the clarification Brandon. I was hoping that it was just an over zealos fan! Great site, btw.
