Never leave a possessed puppy alone with foam padding and new hats (sorry Ando!).




I guess the peanut butter-filled KONG, rawhide sticks, and stuffed animals just weren't enough for this demon child. Lucky it wasn't a custom!

Mitch's Surf Shop - Solana Beach

The burrito-eating shop rats at Mitch's North have finally joined nerd-dom and started a blog:

MITCH'S SURF SHOP



Opened in 1967, Mitch's is one of the last surf shops left that actually sell blanks and shaping tools, (how many of you out there bought your first blank from them?) have employees who know what spiral vee is, and they even sell bandoleros that hold cans of beer...

ppppppssssshhhhhhhkkkkkkk!!!

hey professor!

Mr. John Smart has been down to Moonlight a few times in the last few weeks to film the inner workings of shaping and production for his movie currently in production entitled, "The Tyler Warren Experiments".




Gary Stuber taping off laps for Tyler's new Space Cookie, a board Tyler and I designed for the movie. John's working on a new trailer with clips of TW surfing one at a certain point break south of the boarder...

Here's the (old) teaser/trailer:

Somewhere deep in the woods of Northern California lurks a guy named Seth Bowman. He shapes his own boards, is usually found fishing instead of working, and he loves to make sound effects when he shreds. Here's some pics from his humble abode:
