Real Jim Thiebaud 2

This was Thiebaud's 2nd graphic on Real. I skated many of his first Real model and liked every one of them. I had one of these ones and hated it. The shape seemed weird, the nose was too spoony and I just never got along with it. Regardless, the graphic was awesome. Image from ebay, sold for 615.47.

Seu Trinh has a pretty awesome ongoing video thing at TWS with interviews and general shooting the shit with various dudes including Mike Carroll, Fabian Alomar, Arto Saari, Mike York, Ronnie Creager and Chico Brenes.

Plan B new wood

Several weeks ago, Colin McKay was featured on YWS's web chat. He talked about Plan B decks and how in the near future, they were going to be pressed by a new woodshop. The word on the web was they ditched Syndrome for NHS. Just last week, it was announced that their new distributor is Branch Distribution, which is under the Billabong umbrella with Element. There's an interview with a vp of some sort here. Plan B decks pressed by PS Stix is a nice upgrade. I suppose it'll be nice to support some of their riders like PJ Ladd. Regardless, their art department is pretty weak... but then again, I can't remember that last time I bought a board because of the graphics. Image from CBI.

Urban Golf in India

Check out the article here or here. So many amazing photos.

Bogey Pro Apparel

While perusing Chapeau Noir Golf (don't ask me why I was visiting a golf clothes etiquette blog), I ran across an article on the PGA Merchandise Show. I saw a link to Bogey Pro, a golf clothing company that sponsored a kegger at the show. How awesome is that?! They have some funny screened shirts.

The third person critiquing that happens over at Chapeau Noir Golf is definitely entertaining.

Winter golf

What can I say... it's the middle of the winter up here in Canada. I don't really golf from the start of December to mid March, which is Vancouver's cold rain season. I'll maybe hit the driving range on occasion. This winter has been particularly strange. It's been sunnier and warmer than normal. I'll be playing my 5th round of 2010 this weekend! Vancouver IS awesome! I've also been skating a bunch the past few weeks. I set up a new board last weekend... Alien team model. There are no markings on it as to where it was pressed or by who. Regardless, the shape is good, concave feels good and so far, it's holding up. Image from here.
