Roller Derby Fun Smile Time

IMG_5963a.jpg
Always a good time, and there's one hell of a post-bout stomp afterwards. The dames are super good will ambassadors, they work hard and it shows. They're about as stoked as stoked can be.

There's probably a derby league in your area, open yourself, have cup of lighten up, and check it out.

Space shuttles rock, or should I say rocked, 'cause after this, they ain't flyin' 'em no more (and no replacements - a mistake if you ask me), and I love this picture - it's from Flickr.

Respek part 2 Jon Chino Surfboards

Respek part II
Jon Chino Surfboards
Jon Wong, aka Chino has been shaping boards in Boston's Chinatown for years. He's about as stoked as you can get, and is one of the few New England surfers who can really charge the heavy shit like Ruggles and big winter Rincon, to name a few. He shapes a damn clean board, and is now venturing into Logs and stand ups. Also, he fixes dings like they never even happened, I can attest to that.

Aural fixation


^Not my ears by the way

My doctor says he'll turn me away if I show up with another Good Harbor aural petri dish.

It's enough that my ears have to listen to a lot of shit on a daily basis, but to immerse them in it is sheer self-neglect.

Dippin'

May 3, and we at the tyde were able to log in a respectable "first dip of the season sans-wetsuit" at Hob's End.

Dippin' - creating anticipation of warmer water, like last summer (above). It's also a Hank Mobley album (below).

The Hive - it's what's happening, there's some cool joints in the pipeline.
