the original sting


Erik Brown made the huge mistake of bringing round this remarkable George Downing "Wave Crest Hawaii Original Sting" this weekend. Somehow it has ended up in my living room... Saturday night is a little hazy, but I'm pretty sure I won it in a to the death battle of Last Card. Yep... it's all coming back to me now.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, check the splayed double stringer detail, sweet red resin tint with air-brush flames to rival any hot rod detailing.

Or to quote Brownie: this board would give Ben Aipa a massive woodie.

slide show


I'm always a fan of a slide show, think wooden floors and creaky chairs, & this one features the water work of good pal Ryan Tatar amongst other surfy folk including Joni Sternbach, Sean Davey, Thor Jonsson, Brian Bielmann, Jim Russi............

stab at summer

Back in December Jim and Sam we're asked by the lads at Stab magazine to paint up a quiver. See below work in progress and finished product. The wall was used as a spread in January issue of Stab. Thanks to DR for the cold ones.

more grist for the mill



Jim's been gettin' busy with the brushes for the past 2 days doing an instore installation for Dave Howell (Misfit Shapes) and Chongy's new surf store on Sydney's Northern Beaches, SugarMill. The store is all about building a community of like minded people, that like-mindedness being a love of surfing and surf lifestyle. They're directly opposite the Sands Hotel in Narrabeen at 2/1329 Pittwater Road.

Rad Dan aka Prince of Radness, has also contributed a monster installation down there for Insight. Head down and check out the egg candy.

big last wednesday




A few shots taken last Wednesday at Bondi, well Ben Buckler (far Northern End of Bondi). I've been living down this way for about 6 years and never seen it as big or sliders riding big bombs like this all the way through to the shore.

heading north


Spring must still feel a ways off for our Northern Hemisphere sliders, but we're getting prepared. The first ever drop of Critical Slide threads is about to leave by (very) slow boat from Bali heading towards the States, Japan and Germany for a spring delivery.

We called on local talents Cloudy Rhodes & Hayden Cox to jump in front of the lens for Nathan Oldfield for a bit of a preview... thanks guys for giving up your Saturday
