El Salvador : Los Flores

i boarded united/LASCA flight 671, destination: el salvador, last thursday the 22nd at 2am- with nothing but a pair of tweezers, two boards, two towels, two cameras, three trunks, a backpack, and 2.0g of full melt bubble hash, cause my OG & sour D triple vacuum sealed still smelled.. in el salvador, there was this pasta joint called ‘rasta pasta’ : two joints for an appetizer, then two joints for dessert.. my new favorite place in the entire world. as for the waves.. the waves were insane- imagine santa barbara county (losflores like rincon & punta mango like el cap to be exact) with no one out, head high+ sets, lined up rides, and 85° water.. yeah, pretty amazing. oh yeah, & fuck you for charging me $100 each way for boards, airports.. i came home through U.S. customs with a 26″ machete, FYI.

i also shot a few rolls of film i’m still waiting to get back, but here’s a few in the meantime..

and of course, all the shit i managed to gather along the way..

1. the 2.0g of hash
2. dirt ass salvadorian herb
3. the tweezers
4. the hash can (extremely healthy)
5. tunes (grateful dead/slayer)
6. matches
7. poker
8. rasta pasta joints, on the house

Last weekend Mr. Lightner informed me that he was attending the 4th annual Protec Pool Party, but was unable to secure me a ticket. Well, the morning of, I managed to slither my way into the extravaganza.

 

I saw this guy there…partying like a rockstar.

Here’s Sergi with the bowl transfer. Shot on my little point and shoot.



MUNICIPAL WASTE IS GONNA FUCK YOU UP

Filed under: music, rule, skate

it seems that pool skating, zombies, beer, weed, and thrash are the best combination anyone could ask for.

municipal waste decided this as well, creating in my opinion one of thee best skate thrash bands ever to exist. they sound like slayer blended with fucked up, all while annihilation time huffs paint out of an exhaust pipe in the background.. with lyrics like “..thrash this town we fuckin’ hate, your beer prices are way too high- sell it cheap or fucking die!” and “so on your next journey just heed my advice, that shit killed cliff burton- beware of black ice!” how can you go wrong?!

get fucking wasted.

live music video version of “unleash the bastards” (1:43=FUCKED!)

music video version of “headbanger face rip”

live version of “born to party” (live beer bonging included)

Santa Ana Dave’s B-day Bash.

Friday night was Mr. Dave Kindstrand’s (aka Santa Ana Dave) b-day bash. BBQ, live music, insane skating…all the ingredients for a proper so cal backyarder. The level of skating was probably the highest I’ve ever witnessed at Dave’s. When most of the Bacon team shows up, you know it’s only going to get hotter.

Out of the deep into the mid bowl Krooked grind. One of the sickest things I’ve seen at Dave’s.

Thanks to the Kindstrand’s for throwing such a great party. Happy b-day Dave!



Vans Pro Tec Pool Party (PPP)

so unless you live under a rock, or are dead, you’ve probably heard that Vans’ annual Pro Tec pool party has arrived at the one and only combi bowl in Orange, set for this saturday (May 17th) with full web coverage.

THANKFULLY, this year, i sacrificed my scrotum (my personal set of radballs) to attend in person. rather than sitting in my room, smoking copious amounts of herb, glued two inches away from my computer monitor- like i did last year (where i managed to have a one man party).. i’ll be with good friends danimal and murdercity and many others enjoying this years party in person!

again, thanks to my amazing friend danimal over at surf & destroy who somehow (?!) managed a way to find me a ticket, in result- danimal is now the owner of two (2) scrotums and four (4) radballs. next time you see him, ask if he’ll show you… it’s pretty mental.

I was never a big Pantera fan…in fact, I didn’t really like metal. Vulgar Display of Power definitely opened my eyes. Pure ass kicking from start to finish. It is an album that if listened to in your car, you will uncontrollably drive faster for some strange reason…

Dimebag RIP.



blowin’ it at Chicken’s.

I few weeks ago I got the invite to Chicken’s bowl. Much like Bellmar’s, this backyard playground is of legendary status. Needless to say I was beyond stoked. As i’m down in the bottom sweeping, I notice that this thing is way gnarlier than any picture would lead you to believe.

We finish cleaning up and I drop in to my first run, which abruptly ends with me sprawled out on the bottom of the deep end. Session over. Awesome.

Oh well, you’ve got to pay to play sometimes and I’ve got my camera, so the night is not a total wash. Took a bunch of cool shots for the rest of the night and when I get home I find out that all of them look like complete ass…dark, out of focus and noisy as all hell. Awesome.

So there you have it, my first and quite possibly my only session at Chicken’s. Life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, right? Well with a lot of tweaking here’s some lemonade. It is super sour, so drink at your own risk.
