005 is up
6'0"x19 1/2"x2 1/4"
single wing, 2 channel, dove tail quad fish.
you know when you have that feeling where you're just really stoked to try a new board?
just by the way that it feels in your hands, you can imagine what it might be capable of doing in the water?
i feel that way.
tried 2 channels this time with a quad setup again.
made a last minute decision to try a dove tail which seemed to resolve the inner channel better.
we'll see how this one does in hawaii...

fluid
the texture of the ocean holds so much expression.
you can read into so many subtle variables in the atmospheric conditions, the variations of light, the hidden kinetic energy. it also connects to the element of time; present state (urgent or calm), the motion representing past/faroff occurances, the inseparable fluidity passing to the future.
what?
who is this guy wearing a tux on the beach at waimea bay during the eddie aikau big wave invitational and why isn't he watching kelly slater getting shacked in the 12' shorebreak just behind him?

Cristiania
Denmark has a history and a passion for public gatherings.
this image brought back memories i had of the public demonstrations (read: riots) in copenhagen ahead of denmark's absorption into the EU. the first public vote came back a resounding NYE. when the parliament decided to recast the vote (which subsequently came back a contrary JA), the public went berzerk and took to the streets protesting against the decision. coming from the united states, where we very seldom see the public manifest and rally around a political (actually any) cause, it was shocking to experience and get caught up within this intense public energy/movement. As an observer, it was interesting to see firsthand what was happening, then read the contradictory or euphemistic descriptions of the events in the media. i had never witnessed large groups of people physically battling the police and with each other. portions of the city were locked down by the military and we were unknowingly trapped in the middle of it all. we watched people being shot with water canons, rubber bullets, and this was the first time i had ever experienced the effects of tear gas (which was highly effective i must say). the policemen organized into rows with full riot gear and shields pushing forward against a wall of people hurdling cobblestones that they had recently torn up from the streets as primitive ammunition. the seriously injured laying lifeless on the ground and the bloodied retreating to the shadows. others told me later that the some police had changed to live ammunition, firing on the crowd and killing some. this was never mentioned, however, in the media.
