The Essential Quiver....for NYC by Cj



So I'm sure if you guys have noticed that the East Coast is pretty terrible....no no I can admit it. We certainly have our days, but most of the time, its all over, messy, small, blown out, freezing cold. So with that in mind keep an open mind to my quiver for a day in the life of an Right Coast surfer. From left to right we have...the 7'6 single fin noserider, 6'5 single fin retro deck, 6'3 classic beer bonzer, 5'6 twin finny, & last but not least 5'6 quad fin fishy. Stay Stoked.

CONKTOGRAPHY

Whats up Essentials Crew, Faaam Damily?

Just fresh out to Cali from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

With nearly 100 days on my board this winter I saw some weird shit and had an amazing time.
Global warming seems to be really taking its toll on the planet as it has forced the endanger Gorrillajibber into higher and higher elevations to escape the oppressiveness of lower elevations.

CONK

A Mantra For The Essentials Fam.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Check out these 1978 Hobie polarized aviators. These glasses where given to me by the chief diving officer emeritus of scripps institution of oceanography, James R. Stewart. Jim and his hobie glasses have a long list of achievements. These glasses here have seen both the north and south pole. Jim was among the first expeditions to dive in Antarctica. He told me that these were the first polarized glasses to really take care of his eyes during long days of looking out to sea. Thanks Jim, This beer is on me.
