    Ed Foster: Artist

    Friday, July 18th, 2008

    Several years ago I came across an artist (Ed Foster) on eBay and fell in love with his work.  I bought one piece from him, then another, then another.  I now own 7 pieces of his.  During that time he and I sort of became pen pals.  He was living in New York City, but [...]

    5 days of Surf

    Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

    Wow…I can’t remember the last time Virginia Beach had 5 straight days of decent surf. Needless to say I made a point to go out each of those days. I got a few dings on my favorite surfboard…that pissed me off. Luckily Austin and his dad have been teaching me the art of Ding repair. [...]

    That’s What I Was Going to Say!

    Vintage Addition to My Surfboard Quiver

    Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

    I just picked up this board from my friend Austin of Austin Surfboards.  This brings my quiver up to 8 boards (I am a little insane).  It was from his personal collection.  He got it a few years ago from a guy who had it stored under his house for 20 some odd years.  Austin [...]

    Remember when I mentioned that my photographs would be in a magazine…well…the magazine is out!  Its called Corduroy Lines…its a UK based surfing magazine that features surfboards and boardmakers from all over the country.  I took these shots for the guys at Austin Surfboards and they asked if they could submit them for the magazine.  [...]

    Chilly

    Thursday, March 27th, 2008

    Lets just say that 47 degree water + Me = Not a pleasant experience. Yesterday there were waves, so I decided to tak one of my new surfboards out (no dings this time!).  This was the first time I had surfed since December.  I have been itching to get back in the water for some [...]

    The Maiden Voyage That Never Was

    Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

    So I got up this morning and looked at the surf camera for the Jetty at first street and the waves were smokin’!  I thought to myself…this will be a great day to try out one of my brand new boards that I got from Austin.  So I did my thing at work and at [...]
