Here’s shots of frames I made for some of Andrew Kidman’s silk screen prints. In January he came up from Australia to promote his beautiful new book Ether. This show was at the Surf Gallery in Laguna Beach which had great live music by The Matson Two. The frames are made from solid maple and walnut.
Skip Frye came up to Santa Babara recently. This is his 50th year of surfing and he said he wanted to kick it off by spending a week at Rincon, his favorite wave. Andrew Kidman was also in town and had the to idea to give Skip a “birthday” cake and surprise him with it at the local sushi restaurant. So my wife made Skippy this yummy carrot cake and we gave it to him. He was really surprised and said it was his best Rincon trip ever.

In January I went on my first trip to Whistler and Blackcombe Mountains in British Colombia with some of the “Momentum” era surfers including Kelly Slater, Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox, Ross Williams, Pat O’Connell, Benji and Jason Weatherley, Greg Browning, Jay Larson, Taylor Steele, Saxon Boucher, Keith Malloy, Keoni Watson and Abe Lerner.
It snowed everyday of the trip. One day we took a snow cat into the back country where we enjoyed some super deep untracked powder. It was a great four days of boarding and hanging with old friends, some of whom I hadn’t seen in a few years.
