Surfrider SD Art Gala

I’m an art junkie, but I think any surfer could have a great time at the San Diego Surfrider chapter’s annual art gala. It’s a great excuse to put on a suit and your best Hawaiian shirt, get your girl on your arm, bid on art and drink wine. It’s not hard to leave with a beautiful wall hanger.

Last years event was a blast and helped raise lots of cash for things like fighting the Trestles toll road, beach cleanups and water quality tests. Plus, the chocolate fondue fountain was tasty. Tickets are available through the chapter, but sell out fast!

It's over. The last beautiful spot north of Ensenada is toast, and has been for a while. Wildcoast has some more story on Salsipuedes.

The gothic dolphins forenever is a black and white interweb existance that's a mess of sudo sociographical texts containing overtones of scientific theory laced between photos of broken boards and grainy shots of gluefoot, in trim. It is well fucking out there... Oakland maybe.

The Surfilmfetibal in San Sebastian (12-15th of Junio) has been running for 6 years. San Sebastian is definately one of my favorite towns in Europe, but I'd go just to put some sound to these band names: "Delorean" and "Los Tiki Phantoms".

The TCA isn't done with their toll road through Trestles yet. They've successfully appealed to the US Fish And Wildlife Service to reject the findings of the Coastal Commission. There is some insight into how the agency has been infiltrated by capitalistic pigs on the erBB. Keep fighting.

The brandnewest Hi-Shredability: Ford and Archy, part 1 and part 2. Fark! I love me some Hi Shred. Side note: If those hollywood dorks weren't such pansies, they would have cast Arch as Tyler Durdan in Fight Club.

If you live in San Diego and the 180 hour stormsurf.com models are correct, the surf report for the next two weeks is as follows: small to micro.
If you've got one of these 10 foot plus Chris Christenson gliders in your quiver though, you won't even notice how small it is. Check the video footage in the VBS.tv on Chris as well.

The DM3 is a new Fletcher Chouinard swallow tail thruster developed with and for Dan Malloy. Dan will be in the shop on May 3rd, answering questions about his new sled, which he says is... "The best all-around shortboard I've ever had.".
I own a KMRP, and I'll vouch for both the shape and the construction method. When you combine the weight, how it surfs, and durability, it equals out to the best thruster I've ever owned.

Oh yeah, the FC site is new, but it's pretty effing bland.
