WatchNewport Beach, California based Almond Surfboards take us through the process of creating one of their boards from start to finish. It is definitely an art (or four.) Shaping, laminating, fitting fins, hot glassing and finishing. Top it off with some fine music and it’s ten minutes well spent.

WatchThe dunes often contain a veritable pic and mix of characters. Couples sharing an illicit moment, runners training, families exploring and the odd musician.

WatchUnder the Weather - Surfing in New Zealand.
Funded by crowd sourcing this surf film documents a trip from the North to the South NZ. Big waves, small waves, messy and clean waves… Damon Meade has got it covered. Not only that but the surrounding scenery is breathtaking.

WatchNice short film about Danny Hess of Hess Surfboards.
Danny makes beautiful boards from a mixture of recycled EPS foam cores and wood along with complete wood boards. He’s also got a great looking shop, an enviable boardroom and super wood workshop.
Check out the boards on his site, the Snaggle Paw is my favourite.

WatchWhilst reading Liquid Salt Magazine I came a across a post / interview with Artist Alex Weinstein. Intrigued I entered his name into a popular search engine and found this video about Alex by Eric Minh Swenson.
His sculptural swell/wave pieces are incredible. Well worth a watch, super inspiring.

It’s a musical Friday… thought i’d share this mix by Cyril Hahn. I guess it’s not for everyone, but, if hints of house, slow tempo’s and a liberal dose of R&B sound interesting give it a try.
Should also point out there are a few rude words floating around the mix, so might not be work safe.

WatchStumbled across this beautifully filmed short film about skiing in Dubai…
It’s part of a series called A Skiers Journey. It’s a simple recipe: Adventure, travel and skiing… but it certainly works!

WatchLike retro board shapes? Have a gander at this documentary by Pablo Ballester about the revival and renewed interest in older style board shapes. Some interesting thoughts on a bit of new technology too, partial carbon stringers and the like.
