Surf Foam: The Meyerhoffer, Shark Victims & Nuke the Soup

The Meyerhoffer

Montara, Calif. (Shred White and Blue) — You either love it, or you hate it. But people sure are talking Thomas Meyerhoffer’s new hourglass-shaped surfboard (so much so that Global Surf Industries, the OEM manufacturing the board, report a backlog that stretches to February – and the first run of 1,000 is already sold out!) The New York Times did a very cool quick take on all the hullabaloo – check it out: NY Times

As well this sweet Euro-style Youtube clip (Yeah, for sure!):

Shark Fin Protest From Who?

Seriously, if you’re not absolutely outraged at the whole shark fin soup affront, then I think maybe you just don’t know enough about what’s up. Maybe if I told you that yesterday nine survivors of shark attacks – folks who actually lost limbs to the men in the gray suits – went to Capitol Hill to plead for tougher sanctions on how these magnificently evolved beings are basically murdered every minute (there’s really no other word for it!).

Now Dig This

Just heard this mellow new tune from Nuke the Soup off their Ocean Album – the Filled with Dread track off the same set has been getting heavy play here for several months. Check it out in the music section of www.nukethesoup.com. Here are the first four lines of lyrics:

“The ocean is my church
The waves are my religion
I’ll find my way to earth
And not by my precision”

OK, that’s it from Blue. Have an awesome weekend.
