"Wart" is Sold
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
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.

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.

The Frankensuit 4/3
For those of you who have seen 180 Degrees South you'll remember a scene when they show the divers in Chile with the swim fins put together like they are for Frankenstein. I have to admit that scene stayed with me as in our throw away culture the sight of those fins still in use and put together with so much care moved me. It made me think of what I could use longer. So in the spirit of that I have decided to attempt my own Frankenstienian repair job to my beloved 4/3. She is 4 seasons old now and has given me some of the best cold water sessions of my life.
Today I patched her up with some extra neoprene for the decayed patch and a bunch of glue for the split seems. (Wonderful ladies at Swell Stuff, masters of wetsuit repair... look away it is very ugly.) Although I thought I was done with her and destined to be recycled into handplane handles desperation has set in with a 7am bodysurfing session scheduled tomorrow. With the 3/2 wet and barely holding it's own in the 53ish water the Frankensuit is getting called into action. Please don't fail me now!
Hopefully she is still going strong tomorrow. If not, with the cold water, it is time to start looking at some new eco suits out there to take her place for the next 4 sessions. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Happy New Year from Tak and Jaime
In Japan, people exchange New Year's cards that usually feature the animal from the Chinese Zodiac for the new year.
Tak, being Japanese, has kept the tradition alive since moving to the States with Jaime. Rabbits surfing on carrot boards--here's hoping for good waves and a warm summer in 2011.

Happy New Year and Happy Belated Birthday to The Leucadia Project
(A look back at the different banners we've had along the way.)
I got sort of distracted this year with all the holiday stuff that I missed the second birthday of my dear friend The Leucadia Project. The TLP has been an amazing ride for me and it is hard for me to believe that it has already been 2 years since it was born into our community.
This project was created out of pure chance really. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I had no idea that I would be obsessed with posting and sharing what our wonderful community was up to and all the amazing things we as a collective soul would find inspiring.
Now that I look back I am amazed at what was created here. It is a space that is a place of refuge for me, a place that I can pour positive energy into and watch how it comes back to me, and others, who participate.
Here is to The Leucadia Project, Happy 2nd birthday my friend. May you live a long positive life and share inspiration into the New Year and years to come.
Ed
