Korduroy/Patagonia Alaia Shaping Tutorial from Cyrus Sutton on Vimeo

In a petroleum-addicted, pre-packaged culture a fire has been sparked that will transform surfing forever. From his Australian country shed, Tom Wegener has opened the door to surfing’s future by reintroducing the Alaia, an ancient wooden surf craft devoid of fins, foam or rocker. Welcome to a new age where a single surfer with simple tools and natural materials can push the limits of modern surfing.

Force 5 Friday Part 2.

What's going on here? That's a Laser! It looks like the Tillerman has hacked this blog.
Have you no shame sir? Will you stop at nothing in your pursuit of world domination? Oh well, it's really a good video. I do like the part when the windsurfer appears. Cheers and have a great weekend!

Video stolen from the Tillerman, it seems that I have no shame.

Motorized Mayhem On Monday.

I wonder why our nautical cousins in their motorized vessels seem so oblivious to all other boaters? Are they oblivious or do they relish the havoc and mayhem they create for us with their wake?

Dylan Winter takes them on in his video "motorboatalists - the curse of the sailing classes?" Dylan, mate, they are the curse of paddlers, scullers and sailors alike. I don't know how many times I've had to turn my kayak, shell or sailboat into a wake to avoid the watery tumult created by these menaces to society.

For more of Dylan's opinions, or if you want follow his adventure around Britain, go to his channel on YouTube.
