Fall mentality

While I’m watching my Chargers lose to the Super Bowl bound Denver Broncos I’ll take a moment to catch you clones up to what’s going on here in the CLE.

WAVES. That’s what’s going on.

The north east winds  have made for some classic conditions on our great lake these past few days. The usual spots offered up just about everything from manic overhead to long rights and quick, punchy lefts that came in ocean like super clean sets of three.  It was cool to see Devin visiting from Arizona and back in the lineup. And I’ve been loaning an extra board to my guy Andre from Jersey. In return Andre’s been showing up at my place with some quality beers…it’s a good arrangement.

On the movie front we are pitching a feature article to our good friends at The Surfers Journal. Retro styling photo-genius Robby Staebler met us at the beach and at Ben’s Superelectric gallery for some portraits. Then on Saturday I took the opportunity to ransack Jamie Yanak’s amazing film slide archives. Needless to say TSJ is going to get some epic pics. Look for these sultry glamour shots of Todd, Mikey, Neal and more of your favorites very soon.

Kurt has entered us into all kinds of cool film festivals all over the world, and we are looking forward to taking our underdog project (and out killer soundtrack) to the viewing public.

Also, we are waiting for the final green light on a fundraising party at the legendary Beachland Ballroom on Sunday evening, November 15th.  The Barn Owls will be there playing live. We are chasing sponsors and donations for the occasion. More on that to come….stay tuned.

Finally, once again thanks to everyone for your well wishes on our success in New York.  Your kind words mean the world to us. Check this link http://www.vimeo.com/7034110 and you’ll see why we’ll be hitting up the NY Surf Film Festival next year as well. Feel free to pay particular attention at 3:51 where Kurt rushes the stage.
