This Guy’s Got Balls

A 44-year-old man got right back on his surfboard to enjoy the waves off Florida’s east coast after paramedics treated him for a small shark bite.

David Logan was bitten Sunday at about noon near New Smyrna Beach. The bite made Logan the 23rd bite victim of the year off the coast of Volusia County. That breaks the county’s record of 22 bites in 2001.

Logan had a series of small puncture wounds about an eighth of an inch long on his heel. Paramedics bandaged it, and he set off back into the water.

Great Surf this Past Weekend

I was down in Avalon for a nice long Labor Day weekend this past weekend for most likely my last vacation of the summer. It was by far the best surf I have experienced this summer while I was in Avalon. I had the pleasure of taking my week vacation the first week of August, which also happened to be the worst surf week ever all summer so you can imagine the excitement I had when there was actually some waves.

Anyway, apparently its supposed to stay really good for the next week or so and be awesome next weekend.

I recently moved into a new place in Manayunk and this weekend is the Red Bull Soapbox Race down the wall, and is a must attend, otherwise I would be at the beach all weekend. But I might have to shoot down for a quick sesh Sunday morning if I can hold my head up.

We have been in contact with some suppliers and talks have started. Work on the website is starting to commence and we should be up and running within the next 2 months or so.

Check back as we will keep you updated on small happenings in our small world. Peace
