Ruby Starr Gets Stoked

Ruby Starr gets stoked from Little House Productions on Vimeo.

There is no better feeling as a surf stoked parent then to see your child in the water, catching waves and having fun. There is no better feeling then knowing you are giving to your child the same skills and stoked that has fueled your life. 

The star off this home movie is Assuie filmmaker Mick Waters' daughter Ruby Starr Waters. Mick is a friend of ours and I know how pumped he is to have his daughter in the water with him and catching waves. Ruby is the oldest of 3 and I must say she is having an amazing life so far. Not only is she a sprouting surf grom but she has already been featured in her dad's latest film Little Black Wheels, which if you saw you couldn't help but fall in love with her. Congrats to you Ruby on starting your life as a water girl!!!  And Mick, I know you have a perma-grin on your face my friend, well done.

Good Bye Leroy Grannis

Leroy Grannis 1913 - Feb 3, 2011

Thank you for the abundance of inspiration Leroy. You had fun and you took pictures of it along the way. I call that a successful life.

Committed to the impossible

Apparently the results of this drop made everyone cring. I have to hand it to Eli though, he obviously knows he is in a really bad spot and is still committed with style. I give him serious points for stepping up and going for it.

"Wart" by Rodney McCoubrey: Made from Enjoy practice piece and the nose of a Stewart longboard, Rusted Cans and Love: Size 19"x17

Our #1 right coast supporter Mike Brown acquired one of my favorite pieces from the Enjoy Leftover Art Project. Mike has been a huge supporter of our efforts and is now the proud owner of "Wart", a McCoubrey original. Rodney and I spoke about it this evening and it is so special for us to collaborate on this project. Not just as friends but as individuals who share a common passion for reuse and giving life to that once thought of as trash. Rodney's work is so special and it is truely an honor for Kipp and me to work with him on this. And it is great because a portion of the proceeds will be going to buy art supplies for Pual Ecke Central classrooms. Thank you everyone for supporting the art project.

EarthWalkers

The EarthWalkers from Skye Walker on Vimeo.

My friend Skye Walker is an amazing artist but I just found a whole new side to him that I had no idea even existed. I just found this video on his site and was blown away. He grew up in a family band that traveled the country to promote conservation and saving the environment. Amazing. Check out Skye's site for this and other great things.

Enjoy Leftover - El Pato by Rodney McCoubrey -Sold!

El Pato by Eco-Artist Rodney McCoubrey is made of salsa cans, broken board parts and lots of love.  This piece is part of our Enjoy Leftovers Art Project which hands over the leftover pieces of our handplanes to renowned Eco-Artist and Leucadia local Rodney McCoubrey for him to give life too and to keep the leftover pieces of the broken boards we use from the trash. This piece was purchased by local surfer and business owner Corey Messer to add to his collection of McCobrey eco art. A portion of the proceeds from the Enjoy Leftovers Art Project will go to buy art supplies for Paul Ecke Central.

Thanks Corey for supporting us and Paul Ecke class rooms!

What I'm Watching - Riding Waves by Cyrus Sutton

Seven years ago I watched this film when it first came out. It was really good and came from an unknown young filmmaker named Cyrus Sutton. A guy who I 'd never heard of. Watched it and was blown away. First discovered the magic of John Peck and Dane Reynolds in this film. We all know who Cyrus is today. It's fun to watch his early work. Check it out, it's only $7 this week at www.thesurfnetwork.com.
