The new 6'3 board from the Mill Works. I shot this at 60p unintentionally and didn't white balance.

Thanks for letting me crash on your couch!  We need to get some more images of these boards you folks are making.

Kegs Water Party

Just got back over the hill from a great afternoon next to a pool. Craig's pool.  Brought the kids, suncreen, floaties, and diapers. Before we could even get into the house the kids were asking for some of Uncle Craig's Chocolate Chip cookies.  Once we got in there, they were not to be disappointing.

As we walked up the driveway we were greeted by Jonty and his empty cup. "Knew I would run into you if I left the pool" he tells me.  As we walk into Craig's house, Olive greets us at the door full of grace and warmth. The kids give her a HUGE hug. Even Mark! I believe he likes her a ton.

Olive instantly goes into making sure that we are taken care of..Food,Clothes,Drink, The How are you's and lets go to the pool words.  The place is shining from her hosting abilities. It was amazing...Brie,Salads,Fruit, Beer, dips, chips and booze. It was all spread out in such a tasteful manner that it made Martha Stewart look like a scum bag. Lets just say it was nice!

Moe walks in fresh from saving someones life. He grabs a beer, and we chat. He punches the Television and breaks it to show me what a man he is. I grab a knife and stab a random fish in Craig's fish tank and then swallow it whole.  He is not impressed. I spit in his face and he breaks my nose. It goes on like this until Tiffany comes in.  "Hey Aaron", she says.  Hey I say. It goes on like this. Then we go to the pool.

The pool is hosting Craig's sister, parents, Matt, Jonty, Chris, Erin,Shelly, and some others that I don't know.  The kids swim, and swim.  It was a a big end of the summer Party.  A perfect way to send it on it's way. Thanks Craig.

Jonty and Shelly Wedding 2009

Sierra 2000000000

I think this trip started at like 8 or 9pm. I can't remember where we started from but I do remember driving all night and into the morning. We drove up to Lassen Volcanic Park to a lake that had tons of big fish in it. Unfortunately we never caught any. We then headed to the queen lily and did catch some fish.

Jonty Birthday 33

Headed over to Santa Cruz for Jonty's Fest 2009

Well it was a fun evening of spiral meat, pasta and well....beer.  Jonty and Shelly had a very warm and comfortable house for this years Jonty birthday fest.  Contrary to years past, most of the 5 people who were there will remember what happened.

 Craig and Matt did not make it to this but we knew they was drinking a beer somewhere. I heard it was nice. This is a pic of craig drinking a beer for dramatic recreation. That is super size.

The BBQ hit intensity levels of strange and ridiculous,  but never hit "oh shit we are out of beer at 3 in the morning let's take shots."  The attendance was a little smaller than usual but it fit nicely into the newly weds apartment.

When I walked in, Courtney was smoked and marinating in a glass of simpler times. Dam that guy has a warm smile.  Matt was silent in the corner, speaking mostly about some girls he has living in his one bedroom on the top on a hill.  He made a crazy taste pasta bowl of feta, goat, GARLIC, and some basil. Wicked good. That guy has mad culinary skills.

Jonty and Shelly provided some great foods ranging from spiral meats, cheese cake, brie, beer, brocolli, mushrooms, and Gary's dads olive oil. (It's not cooking oil Jonty!) Courtney I believe brought the green salad with sticky hairs.  I brought a box of torpedoes.

The music began and stayed pretty chill. Things did frenzy to a fever pitch when Jonty unearthed the famous Arhoo. We did our best to piss off the neighbors.  It turned into a great funky jam when Shelly busted out her standup bass chops on the beastly insturment. Matt was busting lead guitar and percussion. Jonty played 10 things from China I can't name.  Courtney busted a wicked Uke and I played the only 3 chords I know how to play.

Fun night. I got home at 1:30am.  Here is the party favor that jonty gave to the guests: 

Typical!
