Hulls work in Boston

Last fall, I ordered a new board from Ryan Lovelace. It's an 8'4" x 23.5" hull. Very bladed, but, extra-wide for best use around Boston. On it's first east coast session, I was lucky enough to have a picture taken:

I picked it up from Ryan in CA and used it at County Line, Topanga and Cardiff. It works well, very smooth and very fast. In the picture, it's got a single fin. But, it has boxes for keels (haven't tried it that way yet). The wave here is a clean, short and fast, typical beach break situation. I was up and over the lip before it closed out. I think the rails are more bladed than my friend Clark's Vaquero, but, less bladed than his Liddle. No question, it does what a hull is supposed to do.

Saladita/Troncones/Gouache Drawing

Just got back from a great trip to Troncones and La Saladitas -- great longboarding waves. Last time I was there, I did a bunch of Gouache and ink drawings. When I'm in Mexico, it's very easy to be influenced the folk art and the ruins. The imagery is very dense and very appealing.

Capt Roman Empire Man

During Roman Times, he was the best there was at what he did. But what he did wasn't very nice, during Roman Times.

It's hard to measure the impact of King Ghidora on the Kaiju film continuum and on culture in general. A frequent victim of alien mind control, the "King of Terror" or "Monster Zero", as the press has dubbed him, may be Godzilla's favorite punching bag. When the citizens of Tokyo see Rodan overhead, they cry "Rodan is attacking the city. Lets run!" When it's King Ghidora overhead, they yell "Ha ha. Godzilla just bit off his middle head!" Or "Look at that belly!"
