Words of Life

"There's nothing better that you can get out of life than having a family unit...you know...a loving family of your own...which is something I don't have...and some sort of security in this world...which...that's really...if you're getting advice from me, that's of a much higher value than anything you can get out of surfing and if you can get surfing to fit in there somehow...then...you know...then, then you're on top of the game."- RKIt's been said on here before: Richard Kenvin's the man. This quote proves it and pretty much sums up my existence on the planet.

Candidate

Simmons is probably the most intriguing of the old guard of surfers. So the fact that RK is obsessed with him, makes RK pretty rad. He also has great words in Stoked and Broke AND this Gothic Dolphins collabo photo raises his stock to an all time high in my book. This photo should be framed and hung in my living room.

Mystery Juice

Richard Kenvin's a pretty interesting guy. What makes him interesting is his research into Bob Simmons and exploring Simmons work. While probably not a lot of people are familiar with Simmons, his life, death and experiments make him one of surfing's most fascinating individuals. Kenvin has been studying and documenting his findings with Simmons' designs and turning it into Hydrodynamica. Kenvin's had an article on him in Surfer and is in the latest journal, mostly talking about his research of the mysterious Simmons and his designs and his work. Looking forward to the film, but the blog will tide me over until it's ready. Here's some pretty impressive footage with alaias.

As usual, if you're not into War's "Lowrider", mute the first video and hit play on Botch's "Man the Ramparts" for a good video/music combination.
