Floaty Toys...
Above, Big Expensive Floaty! Kalie, and Uncle Mike, on the rarely floated Boston Whaler 22' off Santa Cruz '03
Whoever dies with the most floaty wins! More on that later... I am a little tired tonight so check out: "the big table" a cool left wing blog, funny but true, by my friend John Logic.. John came into my first store, in I don't know '89? bought a Gnu Vertigo, green one i thinks. Maybe one for Lisa too... John was a DJ for KROQ and KMPC aka KMET?? in LA before settleing in Seattle.. (actually worked with jim ladd) Whooyaa, maybe that was paraquat kelly? Make sure to check the piece on the California Secession from the union. John now owns 2.5 Snowboard Connections in the Seattle area. He also makes by far the funniest radio spots ever done for snowboarding. More tomorrow..
This one floats on snow.. 1979 Sims Snowboard, #2, number two!!! designed and bulit by Chuck Barfoot located just south of here... in La Conchita
This one is a dead soldier, and now put to rest.. Sold it on craigslist this summer. It is the board that, for better or worse got me back into surfing after a pretty long break. Bought at the Action Sports Show in San Diego many, many, moons ago?? Over ten years??? Longboards are fun, and there is nothing wrong with that. Last owned by my brother, then borrowed by Andrea, broke the nose on a semi-big day at Mondo's.. Sold it to a cool women in San Roque who gave it to her brother-in-law for a wall hanger. "Hobie 9' shaped by Chris Slick" RIP '05"
