Rethinking Rad
Awareness is a good place to start, and on closer inspection of the usual ingredients that go hand in hand with the commercial surf industry, we are schooled on the importance of seeking out more environmentally friendly options before we suit up and paddle out.

“In the future, those brands that take the lead, engage the consumers and drive the growth will be those that understand sustainability as a design challenge, rather than a communications problem.”
Quoted from Steven Johnson’s enlightening article, The Future of Sustainability Is Design, Not Communication

Photography immortalizes people and events by allowing us to forever capture the magical presence of the immediate moment.
Working with large format film and early photographic processes, celebrated Bronx-born photographer Joni Sternbach, goes one step further as she paints an ongoing picture of contemporary surf life through a nostalgic, historic and beautifully mysterious, anthropological lens.
Citing “landscapes, seascapes, and the human imprint on these views” as the project focus, she opens her artistic statement with the insightfully fitting quote from artist August Sander:
“We know that people are formed by the light and air, by their inherited traits, and their actions. We can tell from appearance the work someone does or does not do; we can read in his face whether he is happy or troubled,” — August Sander from “Man of the Twentieth Century”

Made Of Stone
The heartwarming thing about being a Mancunian in LA is that I have met so many people who share an undying passion for my city’s rich music heritage.
Not only did I recently learn that my neighbours’ dog is called Bez, but each time I utter the word Manchester it’s met with a smile (and granted a lot of football references), and the regular ensuing banter about The Smiths, Joy Division, Happy Mondays and of course The Stone Roses makes my day every time.
Watching this trailer for Shane Meadows’ documentary, stokes excitement and pride and needless to say I can’t wait to see the full-length film.
Thanks to their creative genius and time-tested, international appeal, The Stone Roses are not only part of the fabric of my past, but are a much loved part of my California present.
