Mexico is home to some of the best surf around the world along with some pretty great weather. From the town of Melaque comes Cesar Cortez, or Tule as most know him. With skills that put him at the top of the class, he is a sight to keep your eyes on. Special thanks to X3M for putting together this little gem. Enjoy!

Hobie retail mural in Laguna Beach
“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/
