Vans Syndicate Party Los Angeles

Photos from a trip I took with Alf back a couple years for JJ's Vans party. Along with JJ was Mr. Cartoon, the WTAPS guys from Japan and a whole bunch of other dudes lurking. Pretty cool show art wise especially Mr. Cartoons stuff. Bunch of old bombs rolled up along with some 64's and then some of the Sinners as well. Alf and I got wasted that night and walked a couple miles back to our hotel at around 2 in the morning then woke up early and caught a flight back home to Hawaii.

Last day Mexican fix

This was my last day in Long Beach. Super Bowl Sunday a matter of fact and I wanted to head back to Hawaii with one last stop for Mexican Food. This is a famous little hole in the wall taqueria in Long Beach that all the locals like to patronize. I got the carne asada plate and Nick got the "asada fries". I miss this place already!

California Heritage Museum

Before we hit up the Venice Skatepark Nick, Jen and I were walking up and down Main St. in Santa Monica when this place caught my eye. I saw the banner with Shogo Kubo (Hawaii kamaaina/shredder/legend) hanging from what looked to be a house. Ends up this is a museum right smack dab in the middle of where it all began for the Dogtown legacy. I tried to go in to check it out but I guess they were closed. Looked like alot of rad memoribilia on display though. Kinda reminded me of a recent show we had the Blue Hawaii Gallery with Mike Kays.

Venice

Nick, Jen, and I made our way up to Venice from Long Beach to check out the new Venice Skate Park. The park was super sick! Nick was shredding as usual. Robby Gaskell (Eighty Four Skate Co. teamrider) and fam came down to meet up with us. It was cold as hell with the wind whipping a stiff breeze from off the ocean so we didn't stay to long.

Stay tuned in for more photos!
