I’m back home and it’s pretty sweet. Day 1: 56 street and it looked gash but the session was good. Day 2: Trestles, looked gash, was gash, tried out the new wetsuit, it was sick. Day 3: Strands, looked alright, had some good waves, first time on a thruster in a few months, good stuff.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more stoked with my film pictures.

Fuji Superia 400.

Here’s a page where I doodled ideas for how to slice up the front panel of the wetsuit. I just like the way its all laid out.

Here’s a little video thing I made for the presentation of my wetsuit. I’m planning on making a smoother, better timed, non rushed version of it later on.

The music is by Of Melting Moons from Santa Cruz. Mitch Rossi says a few words of surfing in the vid.

This will be the first legit wetsuit I’ve ever made and I’m ridiculously chuffed!

Where to put the embroidered patch…

I stopped by the old surf shop today and there was a parcel there for me from Yamamoto. I asked them for samples of smooth skin neoprene about a week ago and they sent me super sweet stuff! I can’t wait to put this in my wetsuit.

It’s all about Japanese Mail.

Anything that comes from Japan is on the next level.

I was super stoked and very impatient about my first semi wetsuit so I decided to take it to the sea. The waves were breaking on shore so that was a bummer but I’m pretty chuffed that the suit didn’t come apart.

Shore dump wipe out.

Tom said I ought to put another sleeve on my  wetsuit just to really see how it fits.

I just need to to make the back of the knees and lumbar fit and the suit is sorted.

The best of the best. Since they made a blue smooth skin, it’s now even better than the best.

We’re doing a wetsuit project for Gul at the moment. I’m taking it alternative.

Today Charlotte, Lilly and I did a photo shoot at Gylly beach. It was to showcase Lily’s wetsuit and snow jacket that she made for uni. We were super lucky since the sun was shining the whole time.

There were some few waves that rolled in that might have been fun for logging. I won’t post pictures of Charlotte or Lily’s garments until I get permission from them.

Benji’s back from Super Tubes. We went to Pporth for some surf. It was pretty gash and I forgot my contacts and Ben forgot his ear plugs. We looked at it for a while and I finally decided to go in for a few minutes just because I believe if you’re going to drive that far to surf, might as well get wet. Duckdiving in -50˚C water almost makes it not worth it.

A nice arcuate green bench to sit on while watching some gashness. I think I got like three super short rides. It was worth getting wet.

Oh yeah, got that new Machado traction pad.

Draw. I bought to see if these Zebra pens to see if they were better than or the same quality as Asda pens. They suck.

Hear. These are the third JVC Gummy headphones I’ve owned. They come in awesome colours and once they break, they’re fairly cheap to replace.

Keep Warm. All three of those hoodies were freebies. P.S. I love my smoothskin.

Mitch, Mike, Zack and I went to the original O’Neill Surf Shop.

Thank you Jack for this kooky invention. The one above is the first one ever.

One of the first beavertail vests.

Right on River street.
