JOHN SINCLAIR



"We were serious political revolutionaries trying to overthrow the government... we were also on acid!"

John Sinclair; author, poet, activist, former manager of MC5 and founder of the White Panthers, the only American political party ever formed by a rock’n’roll band!

Not sure if he has ever had any connection with Kernow or surfing, but I think he'd fit right in and would be stylin on a longboard.

FIRST CROP



"We plant the seed, nature grows the seed, we eat the seed"

Mini harvest today. Our first foray into growing veggies - it actually does amaze me that all we did was stick some seeds in the ground and with the addition of some sunshine and H2O these appeared.

FRESH LEAVES



The Pilgrimage - 50 places to surf before you die

Just got The Pilgrimage through the post, I do love a fresh book, and I'm really looking forward to delving into this one. Edited by Sean Doherty, author of MP, (which is well worth reading if you get a chance, in my opinion it's one of the best written surf books out there).


Need to add another shelf to the mini-library

WE KEEP EM ROLLING



Pimp my tractor

The farmers in this part of the world don't worry about the cosmetics. If its still got four wheels and an engine they'll keep using it.

HAWAIIAN



Elvis, trying to be Hawaiian

I think I've become a little bit obsessed with Hawaii lately.

To the point of wondering if I could ever have a snowballs chance in hell of surfing like Rusty Keaulana at Makhaha, being able to afford some Heather Brown art and daydreaming of spending Christmas hanging out on the North Shore.

But in reality the closest I'll ever get will be wearing my "vacation" shirt at the weekends. Like Elvis.
