Our friend Patrick in Germany has a Blog and recently he used his new Victoria board to demonstrate how to put on traction. Check out his Blog at http://www.inlandskimgermany.de/2011/11/waveskim-how-to-do-traction-pad-on-the-board/
Times in Germany are cold but Patrick and his crew brave the harsh weather for some good Flatland, Ocean, and Kite skimboarding. More power to you!
“A Day In The Life Laguna Beach” is a public art project that master sculptor Randy Morgan has envisioned and is to be gifted to the community. It is a bronze bas-relief sculptured mural 40 feet by 12 feet in the classic old world style. Randy’s vision for this piece pays tribute and homage to the rich ocean heritage and waterman culture pf Laguna Beach.
The finished piece will be placed on the Hobie building in downtown Laguna Beach. The art has been approved and accepted by the city of Laguna Beach and will be presented in April 2012. To see Tex Haines involvement in the project, check out the website @ http://adayinthelifelagunabeach.com/
Our friend Joe Ade contacted us about making him some custom boards and we did just that. Take a look at some of the shots of Joe with his board having a blast. He has style for days!
