SBC Surf - The Meatball's Big Party

The polite and amicable version of my original reportings on The Attack of Danger Bay 7 were sent to print after a bit of back and forth with the frightened editorial staff loping dolefully about the Toronto office of SBC media. Some parts were ommitted, some truths concealed, but all in all the story remained in fairly good standings with those privy to it's final rendition.

So, I am proud to announce that the lead feature for Canada's premiere surf mag, SBC Surf, and my first personal published piece is available on newsstands everywhere.

Thanks to Malcolm @ SBC, Bryant for all the terrific lens work, Tom @ Landyachtz for being so elusive, and all the Pender Harbour longboarders and residents who made this such an entertaining weekend and article.

When I was asked to do this article I agreed based on the condition that my Doctor, photographer, and confidante would be paid handsomely to join me. Unfortunately a vastly decadent and haunting description of Bryant Bell was folded unto itself a few times and, as negatives cancel each other out, it sort of disappeared from the manuscript.

This voice message was his invitation from myself as I was driving off the ferry after my meeting with Malcolm. It may allow you to romanticize the duress of prose, grace, wit, and hard drugs. It may make you want to go to church.

It made us want to collaborate again in the future.
