OLD OWL SHOP

One of my prized possession's

Team jacket from early 70's

Andreini with Jeff's White Owl balsa gun he did for him .

Marc and myself with our longboards around 1975

The old Owl shop in Summerland founded by Jeff White who sadly passed on yesterday. Jeff was always so cool to me at the old Surf and Wear shop and later when Marc Andreini and I built boards together for the shop. I think thats Marc in the doorway, he was a team rider back then. I think Jeff still has that Jeep Wagon. He was a great person, surfer, waterman, and lifegaurd. RIP White Owl.

NICE DAY

Got a early start to a NICE DAY, up the hill to do some work.

My godson Shane's cabin, his brother Jason unloading .

Cranked up the splitter and got to it , I think we did a couple of cords by noon.

On top of the Rainbow Bridge lookin at Lake Casitas , you could see from Point Mugu to Point Conception yesterday. Going back down the mountain and over to Rincon Ranch for a Birthday BQ .

Some of the guy's had a good hunt in Idaho and Graham and Mike from Los Padres Outfitters cooked up Elk kabobs with beans and cornbread and salad .

Below the Queen looked fun, the fall weather was off the charts nice yesterday.

The best table in town IMO.

Graham and Matt Moore talkin storie, Matt flyin the Vaqueros colors.

Took a few more shots before having to go feed the horses in the dark, always fun after a few Tecates. Glassy all the way to the Islands.

End of a classic California day. looked for the Green flash but did not see it.

BURRITO DELUXE/ STANDUP VELO

Ryan Conder on the Liddle OG Velo standup, Fat Bastard, Velo dimentions at 6'0'', the idea for this board came from Steve Hadley and Brian in Santa Cruz . They were trying to get a standup

style board like Velo.

Frame grab of Ryan Burch from the forthcoming film '' Temporal Collections....'' by Ryan Thomas, the 3 Ryans weird. Ryan loading up the single fin with the sidebites holding for less slide and more drive.

Hadley on the Fat Bastard . It's not easy to load up board and flexfin the way Greenough can on his knees, not to mention that his whole board flexed.

Greenough on Velo at Lennox Head around 66 or 67

Liddle 5'10'' Burrito Deluxe

With the input from Hadley, Brian , Jdub and a few others these are getting tuned .
