This video blew my mind…

Ohhhh, Cardiff Kook, how we love thee.
New England is windy
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010There is lots of wind this week and with wind comes surf and in New England that means exploring and with exploring comes long hours in the car which leads to hiking which leads to… No posts yet this week. Call me lucky.

Here is something from last week…
Just a small clean Maine morning. Not like today.
Northern California Adventure
Saturday, August 21st, 2010Northern California is great in the summer. Its windy and cold near the water then hot and dry inland. I got a new Palm Board to Roy who is quite the waterman for a guy from the Great Salt Lake. Before we got too far we had an impromptu photo shoot with AB and SB. They always seem to have a good time!
We drove around Western Marin looking for a couple body-surfable wedges, fresh oysters, and cold beer. Mission accomplished.
We wrapped the weekend up with an engagement party on top of Sonoma Mountain. Cooking on a oak fire, copius amounts of great beer, better wine , and the very best of friends and family made for a perfect send off for the west coast kid. Thanks California.

Palm Boards East Coast Fun-O-Rama
Monday, August 16th, 2010Today Palm Boards dipped into the cold North Atlantic. Waves were great! I’m the li’l guy in the lower left.
Sarah Brown and I left Cardiff August 5th with a trailer full of all our possesions. We landed in Kittery Maine on the 13th. Over the eight days of travel we talked to some artists, distributed a couple handys, and enjoyed the US of A.
I’ll be dropping a couple stories over the next two weeks starting with a profile of Northern California’s body surfing and photography guru Nick Allen!
Stay tuned for pictures and stories from the road.

Tommy asked for a Palmboard for his birthday, but his mom got him He-Man. Don’t be like Tommy’s mom.
What Riding A Palmboard Feels Like – Part 1
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010
Just caught this trailer on a website for some company called “Apple.” The energy and colors (“It’s so vibrant! What does it all mean?”) are exactly like jumping in with a Handy…except completely different. Maybe it’s the french dude waxing philosophic or the girl in her underwear in the kitchen. Who knows? Transcendental. Is the whole movie looking at the back of the main character’s head?
Gaspar Noe’s last film is almost as amazing as our Facebook. Almost…
Go East

Henry and Soon-To-Be-”Mrs” SB pack everything they own and move to Maine. Palmboards…in Maine? Yup.
Look out for updates from the road as they evangelize the nation on the ways of the Handy.
Palmboards in Production
Sunday, August 8th, 2010
Posted a few pics on Flickr of a batch of Palmboards nearing completion. After getting sanded down, the boards come out of the shop for a coat of seal and end with the addition of a neoprene-covered strap. In this picture, Henry is asleep standing up after inhaling enough varnish fumes to take out a small village. Last reports had him wandering around the train tracks “looking for his bicycle.” Good luck, big guy!
Shark vs Kook
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
(From korduroy.tv…)
An anonymous interview with the creator…
The Cardiff Kook was originally created in 2007 by Hemet, Calif. resident Matthew Antichevich. Since its erection, the bronzed, limp wristed edifice has been subversively celebrated with all kinds of creative costumes. From crucifixes to jack-o-lantern heads, we thought we’d seen it all that was until Sunday, July 25th, 2010… Despite numerous petitions to “Save the Shark,” the great white and grey paper mache masterpiece was removed by city officials 3 days after its creation. In the wake of this ephemeral masterpiece, we wanted to hear from creator first hand. Shortly after a post on Facebook, we were contacted by the artist. The following clip offers a little insight into the man behind shark and how he pulled off the prank of the summer.
