Trim Glide Fade and L Hill

If you haven't been checking out the updates that Lauren Hill has been doing on her blog Mer Sea Beaucoup, you should. She is a super rad person who loves spending time curling toes. Check out the video she shot with Tinch the other day.

Sneak Peak

A little sneak peak of Tinch's new rad sled...



Kevin laid down an amazing resin tint on it. "Am I green with white stripes, or am I white with a huge grass stain?"

Black Pearl Creations is back (...and better than ever)

Well Kevin finally got the new factory up and running full speed, and it is way rad. I have so many photos of the wierd, wacky, and incredible liquid slope navigating vehicles that he is about to start putting out. Just check this 5'0" Bonzer-Egg thing that was just finished. Its for one of his good buddies, and man that resin tint is nice. Same color as my truck! Stay tuned, because a lot heart and soul will be coming out of this factory very soon. Ill be sure to keep you updated...

Christian Wach Video

I finally found one of my all time favorite shorts of Christian Wach at the Noosa Festival a few years ago. His navigation of the nasal passage is just unreal. Check it out.

Korduroy.tv is rad

Ive mentioned Korduroy.tv before, but I just want to say again how rad it is. Yesterday I sat down for like an hour and just watched all of the videos. It got me super amped to go surf with the boys and slide some really fun waves. In fact, I didnt get out of the water until I couldn't see a thing.

But check these out, they really are cool. Now just place korduroy.tv under your favorites, watch the updates, and get out there and do it yourself! Cyrus worked hard for this, help him spread the word!









There are plenty more... Just check out Korduroy.tv

Keith Novosel and Scotty Stopnik

Check out this months Surfer Journal. Look on the inside back cover at the Hurley ad! Rad photo right? Ya, that is what I thought too. Well my good friend Keith Novosel snapped that jewel and I just wanted to spread the word. Keith is one of the nicest people I have ever met and has a suitcase full of talent (and right now, that suitcase is touring OZ, and Im jealous!).

Anyways, here is a little video that Captain Fin Co. did of Scotty. He rips, period! To see more of him, pick up a copy of Picaresque...amazing movie! Enjoy!

Saint Augustine

Well... another day has passed with little or no swell... Good ole' Saint Auggie I guess. But on the bright side, there are some really nice things to see when the waves are flat. Check out these photos I snapped the other day while walking around.

As promised...

Ok, as I promised earlier, here are a couple snaps of the new shirts. I will have better photos up in the next few days when I can actually get someone wearing them. As of right now though, they are selling for $25, mailed to your address. Drop me an email at, Slidingsinglefins@gmail.com for more information on Trim Glide Fade. I would be more than happy to answer any questions. This is just the first, there will be plenty more coming out over the next few months along with some short movies as well.

Trim Glide Fade is a collab with Chris Tincher and myself. In a nutshell, it's us just being Chris and logging whenever possible. (note to self, find better way of explaing it! ha) Seriously though, it is hard to explain in words... but if you are reading this, then you probably understand us. This is just the beginning, stay tuned though, it is going to be exciting!

Trim Glide Fade

I know its been awhile since Ive updated the blog, but man has it been a whirlwind! Lots of work, a few super fun late evening log sessions at the NRA (New Roach Alley!)with all the boys. Some really styled out 10s were getting thrown down all over the place. Plus the new tee's finally arrived. Trim Glide Fade is now in full effect! Ill have some photos up of the shirts later tonight. We will be adding to the line very soon.

So stay tuned for some more rad tee's, an update from the new headquarters of stoke, the new Black Pearl factory, and some new short movies.
