Manufacturing Stoke
Our friend Pierce Kavanagh of misfit pictures is making a documentary on sustainability in the surf industry called Manufacturing Stoke.
We first met Pierce at the Cardiff Classic Green Fair where after meeting a host of green surf companies had a spark of inspiration and the idea for this film was born.
Pierce, who recently graduated from film school went home that night with the idea for the film and proceeded to put a crew together to take on the task. Originally set to be a small web piece, the film suddenly took on a life of it's own and quickly gained attention from companies and personalities in the industry who had a thing or two to say about the subject. In the end there are some 30 plus interviews and 80 hours of film on the subject all of which have been kept under wraps as to who they all are and what they have said. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together and what these industry leaders have to say on such a pertinent subject.
As for the the trailer, which was released last night, it is a monumental step for Pierce and his indie crew Petra Kavanagh, Max Schmige, Geoffrey Smart and Sara Iyer who have been working nonstop for months now.
I personally can't wait to see how the project all comes together and to finally see who everyone is that was filmed and what was said.
Pierce, Petra, Max, Geoffrey, Sara congratulations my friends and good luck!

Sending Our Love To Japan
My sister lives in Japan with her husband and three kids. My Brother-in-law just happen to board a plane to the US the day before the quake and is now here while his family is there. I tough one for a loving father and husband.
So far so good for them but there are so many Japanese that are having a hard time. She sent me this link this morning about the Japanese and I was inspired. All she said in her email was "This is So True!". They are are model for us in deed.
If you have a moment each day take a minute and say to yourself, "I Love You Japan". Thoughts and words are powerful and especially those with messages of love. In times like these we can all feel a bit helpless but doing something so simple and sending a loving message can make a world of difference.
I Love You Japan.

New Environmental Art Show Coming to Town- Sacred Alters
From the mind of Eco Artist Rodney "Rodrigo" McCoubrey comes a group show about the things that make our lives worth living. For the show Rodney handpicked a group of local talent to make alters of things they feel are sacred in their lives. Each piece is to be made of at least 25% recycled materials from their own environment. We have created a blog for the project and will be posting the entries as they are completed so keep an eye on it to see what people come up with.
If you'd like to make your own Sacred Alter at home please do and send pictures of them to us and we'll post them here. The more the merrier. This is a healing subject and one that is great for everyone of all ages to participate in.
First up is Genie Huey and her piece titled "Dog". Genie is a Leucadia resident and an amazing artist. I was blown away by the piece. Enjoy

An Ode to the White Fence
Circa 1925 the famous White Fence was built on a stretch of bluff in this here Lecuadia-- a sacred spot known to it's locals for it's gift of extra ordinary aquatic fun. Our friend, eco artist and perfectionist of the white fence aquatic dance, Rodney Rodrigo McCoubrey was able to save a piece before it was torn down and make this keepsake. He keeps it with him while he works so that he is never too far away from the place he loves. To a water dwelling Lecuadian this is a treasure indeed.

Ruby Starr Gets Stoked
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.
