• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• 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.

• 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.

• Sportsknack is a board rental program that works like Netflix. You pay 10 bucks a month, and ride as many boards as you want as long as you want. I'd get started early though, before the boards get dinged up.

• Fish Flops. Stylish, but stinky after a few days.

• Great graphic comparing Gustav with Katrina. What caught my eye though, was the map of oil rigs and piplines in the area. (Click on the Oil Rigs checkbox in the upper right) It's absolutely out of control.
