Local Fundraiser

Check out this special local event happening this Saturday. Come out and support if you can. Live music, catered food, local SD brews and great raffles (which include a sweet *enjoy handplane).

Lucas Foster Styling

Here's a few shots of Lucas Foster, Encinitas local, San Dieguito Academy Surf Team member, and friend of ours. He has gone from a scrawny little grom to a full-fledged young ripper - and is extremely polished on his longboard. Recently picked-up and sponsored by Murphy Surfboards, we think this upcoming year is going to see many good things from this talented wave rider. Thanks to Pierce M. Kavanagh (PMK) for these fine photos.

Art by Paul “Ugie” Uglow

Paul “Ugie” Uglow

Native Californian has lived in Hawaii, New Zealand, Mexico and Australia. His world travels influence his Tribal prehistoric Sea Creatures. 100% recycled surfboards and paint are used. How cool is that? I got to do a show with Ugie a few weeks back and his work was inspiring. His use of color is great and his creatures are just plain fun! Good job Ugie!

Contact Ugie here if you are interested in purchasing his art or would like to invite him to an art show. 

Thanks to everyone for supporting your local artists.
