Aqui No Mas
A collection of Pat Tobin's stories and illustrations from his two handmade limited edition books. These pieces are recollections of his time spent in Mexico chasing gaping beach break barrels. Tobin grew up in Laguna Beach with a famous cartoonist for a father. As time passed he honed is own style through working with Michael Logan, and from his experiences in Mexico. Eventually he returned home to Laguna, found love, and created the books that these stories come from.

Portfolio Bob Weeks
For Californian surfers—and, by extension, wave riders worldwide—the origin stories are all but memorized. Thanks to photographers like Don James, LeRoy Grannis, and Ron Stoner, our flashpoint moments are forever enshrined on Ilford photographic print paper. But in surfing’s “colonies,” such exhaustive archives are generally lacking. That’s what makes this issue’s Bob Weeks portfolio so fresh and appealing. A marvelous framer of compositions reminiscent of Ron Church, Weeks accumulated a file as deep as it is broad. The surfing looks fresh, the venues stoke-worthy, and the boards are worthy of study. This is a find by any measure.

A Shaper’s Figure
Dave Parmenter goes through the mental process of shaping a custom board for Flippy Hoffman using a unique rocker bent by Matthew Barker who worked at Clark Foam. Flippy's life stories as a California surfer that went to Hawaii in the 1950s and as a diver and sailor informs the shape of the board. Parmenter argues in favor of the difference between shaping by hand versus using a computer-controlled machine. Though imperfect and not as exacting and minutely precise as a machine, evolution of surf shaping is propelled by handshaping as an art.
