Surf City before dark
Maybe 5-7 times a year do swell and no wind come together for afternoon sessions. This winter has seen several days with favorable conditions for after work fun, this may lead to a great spring season..

Crazy Neighbors
I am blessed as a surf photographer. you see i live on the same block with three world class surfers. Ryan and Timmy Turner live on one side and aerial wizard Ryan Carlson the other..Ryan Carlson huge Kerrupt flip
I received an email yesterday with this photo attached. That is Ryan Carlson and Timmy Tuner in New York during the peak of the mother of all blizzards on the east coast. These nuts were filming Timmy's new movie Cold Thoughts.

50 Years of Harbour
Rich Harbour has been making surfboards for over 50 years now. The Honolua company is coming out with a book soon "the harbour chronicles". My first experience in the working world was at harbour's shop. Rich took a chance and gave me a job stripping the resin floor in the glass room. i promoted to the sales desk and the life lessons learned were priceless. 30 years later Rich and i are still friends.
Congratulations Rich on 50 years of success. 
There is going to be a grand opening (Feb. 13th only) of the exhibit at the Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion on the campus of Orange Coast College. It is free admission, free parking, will be catered by the OCC culinary class with beverages provided free by Starbuck's - once again, all FREE! The exhibit runs until April 9th, but there is only one Grand Opening ceremony.
The book is being printed and bound in Asia, and the Chinese New Year is right in the middle of the process. This complicates being able to exactly predict the book's delivery as they all go on vacation, but our best estimate is March 29th. It is hard bound containing 144 pages of many, many pictures and stories.
Signed and numbered copies (150 only) will be $49.95 and unsigned are $29.95. At present we are not taking reservations for the signed or unsigned copies .
On March 29th (if the books arrive by this date) there will be a VIP (special invitation) book signing of the numbered editions, plus LIMITED EDITION #3 Curly Redwood/Balsa will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. There will be a $10,000 reserve and it remains un-glassed, waiting for me to sign it and place the happy, highest bidder's name on it.
