Surf Historians

We tend to pay really really great attention.  Really, really great.  And so when we peruse the "Surf Historians" section we notice all sorts of things.  Like we notice that certain surf blogs are now fashion blogs.  And certain other surf blogs no longer exist.  And even other surf blogs haven't posted in months. What we aren't good at is maintenance.  Doing the little things to keep it all fresh.  So maybe next week sometime if we find the time we'll go through the "Surf Historians" section with a fine tooth comb. We'll be weeding out blogs that don't post, don't exist, or have magically changed subject matter and authorship.
If you know of a good surfy blog that should be there, especially of the local East Coast variety, let us know...

Simmonsing Brooklyn

On the ride back from swim class this morning the son and I spotted some strange doings outside a warehouse in a quickly de-industrializing part of Brooklyn. I stopped by and chatted for a moment, finding out these enterprising souls had made a temporary shaping bay amidst all the cardboard boxes inside. Later on I showed the photo to Joey Clams and he smiled and said "Everyone wants to shape a Mini Simmons."

While I was Gone

While Ty Breuer and SMASH was out doing their linchpin work last night, I were at home treating myself to some long overdue family time.  And sneaking some peaks of my own.

A Hundred Miles To The End

Save Our Surf Archive

SOS became a militant movement overnight in late 1969 when plans were unveiled by the Army Corps of Engineers and the state to "broaden" the beaches of Waikiki. Using old fashioned political techniques- hand-bills, demonstrations and colorful presentations at public meetings - SOS quickly won the respect of the politicians and developed strong grassroots support in the community at large. The principal spokesman for the group was John Kelly. As described by Kelly in 1971, the SOS strategy rests on three simple concepts: respect the intelligence of the people, get the facts to them and help the people develop and action program.
