Ryan Lovelace is back
Ryan is coming from August 15 to 31 and this time he will shape in France, at Blend Glassing, in Soustons. All boards will be glassed by Nico from Wavegliders, who is currently working there, and the Blend crew.
Ryan Lovelace is one of the most talented and creative shapers from California and has been Considered one of the most talented and innovative shapers from California, Ryan is all about fluid curves and surfing with the wave instead of surfing against it. His designs come from his environment, from the boards he sees and surfs and the waves around. Although not following anyone, his boards get some ideas from names like George Greenough and Greg Liddle. But like he said on a interview for Drift “I don’t have influences or a preconceived notion of what works and what doesn’t. I’m free to do whatever I want and explore any path I find interesting”.
All boards will be 100% hand shaped by Ryan and fully adapted to the surfer’s needs and waves. High quality finishing will be done by master glassers Nico (from Wavegliders) and Fabrice from Blend Glassing.
Shipping across Europe available and wholesale prices for shops on request.

Duct Tape Spain 2011-Results!
The Duct Tape Salinas went as smooth as it could. We started our trip a week before the start of the event in France and worked our way to Spain. We had great conditions for the contest, and it came down to a final heat of Justin Quintal (2X Duct Tape Champ), Al Knost (Defending Champ), Tyler Warren and Jared Mell. This event had some of the best surfing from any of the Duct Tapes, and not just the final, but the entire event. We are so stoked that we can put this event on for this small pod of elite surfers. The next Duct Tape will be held at MALIBU during the MSA Comp Sept 9-12, So until then, Stay tuned for updates.

Pre-Festival Salinas 2011
The fact that we could almost say that the festival was already underway because of the"prau," the campaign from behind the walk from the beach looked completely filled with a camp van longboarder that extends a few hundred yards along the beach Salinas. van, campers, cars ... belonging to Galicia, Andalusia, Madrid, English, French, Italian ... the pure festival.
This year the assembly is exceptional, I think everyone will be super surprised of which has been assembled for the festival 2011. The Duct Tape has a spectacular assembly, but the festival is nothing short. All together you can imagine what forms.
The outlook is great. Good weather and sea rising. The biggest day that will be 1.4 and 11 seconds mark, already more than meteo conditions for the festival. There will be waves and good waves as they come in Salinas all year unlike the ones we had last year.
We will keep you on time for everything to go and put photos from here and on our facebook. We are doing live coverage of what will happen, do not miss it.

Agatha Christie, surfer?
There's no doubt Agatha Christie had a love for telling a gripping murder mystery. But now it appears her talents extended from the typewriter to the surfboard.
Researchers have discovered she was one of Britain's first stand-up surfers, reports the Western Morning News.
Though Christie wrote about her surfing experience in her autobiography, researchers and the surfing community were surprised to learn the mystery writer was a surfing pioneer for Britain.
"In the early 1920s very few British people were surfing and the only one we know about earlier than her, standing up, was Prince Edward," researcher Pete Robinson, founder of the North Devon-based Museum of British Surfing told the South Devon Herald Express.
Christie first took up bodyboarding in the 1920s when she travelled with her husband to Cape Town, South Africa. The trip was part of her husband's task to help organize a world tour to promote the British Empire Exhibition in 1924.
After continuing on to Australia and New Zealand, Christie and her husband then travelled to Hawaii and became surfing experts at Waikiki in Honolulu, reports The Telegraph.
In her autobiography, Christie writes: ''I learned to become expert, or at any rate expert from the European point of view – the moment of complete triumph on the day that I kept my balance and came right into shore standing upright on my board!''
Research is now under way to see if she continued surfing upon her return to the UK. (Tara Kelly from the Huffington Post).
