Dan Malloy and Dane Reynolds Board Swap



Ride shotgun with Dan Malloy and Dane Reynolds as they cruise from their Ventura homes to Emma Wood State Beach for a quiver swap. This insider look at their modes of surfing comes to a head as they trade—and ride—everything from homemade hunks to foiled Fryes. TSJ party members know full-well Malloy's open-minded approach, via articles like "Mar y Tierra" (TSJ 16.4) and "The Present" (TSJ 18.2).

DIY Surfboard Bike Rack | Surf Sufficient


DIY Surfboard Bike Rack - Surf Sufficient from www.KORDUROY.tv on Vimeo.
For those who travel around town by bicycle, they know riding with a surfboard under the arm can be cumbersome and awkward. In this episode of Surf Sufficient, our friend Travis Newhouse helps make that bike commute to the beach much sweeter. By adding a surfboard rack to your rig, your shred sled can be stowed comfortably as you head out for a stoke.

These instructions are a guideline. Each bike and surfboard are different. Be sure to measure your own bike and surfboard, and dry-fit the pieces before you glue them together. We want you to have a safe ride to the beach - make sure the rack will not inhibit your movement on the bike, and that your front tire can turn freely without contacting the surfboard.

Materials:
4 - 1" PVC T-joint
6 - 1" PVC 90 degree elbow
4 - 1.75" diameter hose clamps
10' PVC pipe (Schedule 40)
6' foam pipe insulation for 1" pipe
PVC cement
bungee cords

Tools:
hacksaw
sandpaper or file
measuring tape
flathead screwdriver

Instructions:
1. Measure the diameter the bike's seat tube and down tube.
2. Transfer measurement to the opening at the top of the T-joint, and cut off the top of the T-joint.
3. Place one T-joint on the bike near enough to the pedal to measure the distance to the outside of the pedal. Include enough clearance for your foot, but shorter distance will result in a stronger rack. On this bike, the distance was 8.5 inches.
4. Attach T-joints to bike with hose clamps. For now, tighten only enough to remain in position.
5. Cut 2 pieces of PVC pipe to the length measured in Step 3. Clean up the ends of the cuts with sandpaper or a file. Insert PVC pipe pieces into T-joints.
6. Install two 90* elbows onto PVC pipes, with opening facing the ground.
7. Cut two 3" pieces of PVC pipe, and insert into 90* elbow.
8. Install T-joints onto short pieces such that the openings are facing each other.
9. Determine the length of the crossbeam by measuring distance between the T-joints. Be sure to include 1" at each end for the portion of the pipe that fits into the joint. Cut PVC pipe to length for the crossbeam, and insert the crossbeam into the T-joints.
10. Cut two 11" pieces of PVC pipe, and insert into the ends of the T-joints that face the ground. The suggested length is to fit most surfboards and bikes. Make sure the rack will not extend too close to the ground.
11. Install 90* elbow at the bottom of the pipe, with its opening facing away from the bike.
12. Measure the thickness of your surfboard. Be sure to consider the bulk of a travel bag, if you use one. Add approximately 1/2" for the thickness of the foam padding. Cut two pieces of PVC pipe to length, and insert into the opening of the 90* elbow.
13. Install 90* elbows on the ends of each short piece, with opening facing up.
14. Cut two 12" pieces of PVC pipe, and insert into the 90* elbows. The length of this piece should be less than the width of the board when mounted in the rack. This will ensure the bungee cord can hold the board in the rack.
15. With all the pieces dry-fit, check the fit of your board in the rack.
16. Before disassembling, mark the alignment of pipes and joints that extend out from the bike. Draw a line on the pipes and the T-joints attached to the bike, and also at the top 90 degree elbows.
17. Glue the pipes to the T-joints attached to the bike. Be sure to align the marks made in Step 16.
18. Glue the 90 degree elbows to the pipes extending from the bike. Be sure to align the marks made in Step 16.
19. On a flat surface, glue remaining two T-joints to the crossbeam. Use the flat surface to ensure the T-joint are aligned in the same plane. Also, glue the two 3" pieces into the T-joints.
20. Glue the crossbeam into 90* elbows.
21. Glue the 11" pieces of PVC pipe into the bottom of the T-joints.
22. Continue to glue pieces: 90* elbow followed by short piece of pipe, then another 90* elbow, and finally the 12" vertical piece.
23. Attach the foam insulation to the rack.
24. Drill holes for the bungee cords. Ensure that the holes are low enough to avoid metal hooks contacting the surfboard.
25. Enjoy your ride to the beach!

DL Skateboards


Cool Hunting Video Presents: DL Skateboards from Cool Hunting on Vimeo.
It's well known that hiding behind the facades of many buildings in Brooklyn, NY are an endless array of companies producing artisanal pickles and locally designed clothes but rarely can you wander down a street to find a product being made out on the concrete. DL Skateboards is a unique young company that makes custom, handmade skate decks on the sidewalk outside a Greenpoint apartment building and in a retrofitted box truck acquired in New Hampshire. The couple behind the brand, Lauren Andino and Derek Mabra, have been skateboarding most of their lives and their passion and love for the sport drive their small business forward, producing fantastic cruisers modeled after 60's classics. In our latest video we found the couple out on the street shaping decks for one of their final runs before moving to California.

SCOTT SEIVER | California Republic


SCOTT SEIVER - California Republic from Michel Sandy-Borden on Vimeo.
San Diego, CA is home to an untapped reservoir of creativity.
For years, these talented individuals have cultivated and sown their craft into remarkable works of art.
The California Republic series intends to prove to the international community that San Diego is artistically fertile and new talent continues to sprout.

When pairing Scott Seiver with prose, one must consider the artwork above his bed, entitled, "Wake The Fuck Up." It's clear that every morning Seiver pushes himself to create, regardless of the medium. He chose Robert Frost's "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" to provide the most accurate portrayal of his life's journey.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost

To Surf and Protect

Sent by email to Longboard Retro days:

Hi Tiago,

I'm Megan Barry, Communications Associate at International Bird Rescue. We respond to oil spills around the world and save seabirds at our California wildlife hospitals year-round. I wanted to introduce myself and invite you to check out our Executive Director, Paul Kelway's blog post about surfing.
We would love for you to repurpose this post on your blog and/or keep our rescue and rehab work in mind for future posts of your own.

Your support in sharing our work with your readers would mean so much to us, but absolutely everything to the seabirds that come through our doors in weeks and years to come. As Paul says in his post, the ocean is our home as surfers and its their home, too.

All the best!
Megan




Reblogged from Bird Rescue:

This weekend, the Malibu Surfing Association is hosting the MSA Classic Invitational and generously invited International Bird Rescue to feature our mission in the contest’s commemorative program, which we’re stoked about.



Being both the director of a bird rescue organization and a surfer, I think a lot about the synergy between my favorite ocean pastime and the birds we work to protect. For many people who ride waves, surfing is so much more than a hobby. It’s a return to wilderness — even when you live in crowded Southern California, as I do. It’s a privilege to connect directly with the power and magic of the ocean environment and the diverse array of life that calls it home.

The desire to give back, to help protect the world’s oceans and their inhabitants, naturally arises from this experience.

I often find myself thinking about how surfers have so much in common with seabirds especially. And I often wonder how many other surfers think this way or notice the array of bird species hanging out in and around the line-up.

In California, you can’t help but notice the Brown Pelicans flying low in single file, using the wave energy to give them a little extra push as they glide just inches above the water. But do surfers look out at the Surf Scoters (a seaduck found on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts) with a new-found appreciation for who really invented the duck-dive? Do they also notice that we’re not the only ones who wake up early and head out on dawn patrol? The shorebirds are always at the water’s edge before I am, and the line-up is already teeming with gulls, terns and some cool pelagic bird species before I’ve caught my first wave of the day.

If I paddle out in high surf or bad weather, I always take a moment to appreciate that these birds are out there whatever the conditions. It’s their home. It’s where they feed. It’s how they survive.

Over the past four decades, International Bird Rescue has saved thousands of birds from oil spills around the world, so we also know that it’s very easy to threaten their survival. It’s not just oil: Injuries from marine debris such as plastics and fishing line account for a high percentage of the thousands of birds that arrive at our rescue centers every year.

As surfers, we have even more motivation for making a difference to issues of marine pollution and ocean debris. After all, this is our home, too. The scale of some of these environmental challenges can often be overwhelming. So it’s so important to re-energize and renew our inspiration to help, even if that help is just in small ways. It may sound overly simplistic, but that inspiration always comes back when I stop to appreciate the seabirds while I’m out catching waves.

So the next time you’re in the line-up or checking out the sets as you prepare to paddle-out, take a moment to look around you. We human beings are not the only surf riders out there. Notice them, enjoy them, appreciate them — from a seabird’s-eye view, so to speak — and, if you feel so inspired, you can help us protect your fellow riders. Find out how at birdrescue.org/surf.

Gratefully,
