The Hand Plane

Check out this hand made bodysurfing toy by Jeff Beck of Ninelights Surfboards. Jeff is known for his beautiful hand made wooden surfboards. These bodysurfing handboards are made out of solid Paulownia wood. This is the same type of wood used to make alaias. It's prized for it's buoyancy, rot resistance, and durability. Finished with a few coats of linseed oil, these boards are light, responsive, and very floaty. If you need to tighten or loosen the strap, simply unscrew the stainless steel hardware on one side, adjust and re-tighten. They also come with a leash string so you don't lose it in the surf.

Lomography...Cool Cat Cameras

Lomography cameras are the newest, coolest thing since sliced bread. These cameras are affordable, cool and give us a new appreciation of "film" cameras!
They have a range of cameras, but my new favorite is the "Diana"....
Back in the early ‘60s, the Diana camera was a cult legend, famous for its dreamy, radiant, lo-fi images. The Diana+ is a new twist on the classic – a faithful reproduction with lots of cool new features thrown in! The Diana allows you to take pinhole photos, panoramic images, 35mm shots, and the option to use special Diana+ lenses.
These are now available at Wetsand Surf Shop, brick and mortar and online!

Hot new sounds...

It is difficult to classify the sounds of Rey Fresco. While the word "unique" is too often thrown around, in this case "unique" is fitting when considering Rey Fresco's lead instrument is a 36 string Veracruz harp accompanied by soulful vocals, a pumping bassline, and a booming drum sound resignating from a kit built out of surfboard fiberglass. The VC Reporter calls Rey Fresco "An eclectic, multicultural group of guys with authentic passion for music."
The unique instrumentation and original songwriting has lead Rey Fresco to organically build a buzz. Most recently to the point of sold out shows along the California coast. Perhaps the VC Reporter put it best when the proclaimed Rey Fresco is "preparing to explode."
If you are new Ventura on Halloween dont miss their CD release party...

So sad, Ventura.

Nicholbys antiques has been a landmark of Ventura for years. The owner of the buidling must not be getting his "moneys worth", because he is choosing to rent it to a higher paying renter, called The Goodwill. Its a sad time for our city...
Please, go visit Nicholbys while it still has some style and let them know how much you appreciate them!
