Armed with only a pair of trunks, a t shirt and a pair of Astrodeck sweatpants, I joined the VANS team of Joel tudor, tony trujillo, johnny Layton and Shea Lopez for a little promo at Coastal Edge surfshop. The turnout was big. People screamed and screamed and sweat and screamed and fainted for free shwag. the temp was 105 unofficially. Imagine the heat inside my sweatpants, maybe that’s way I didn’t find love in Virginia Beach. –DANE
Ian asked if he could use my minivan next tuesday. He is loading ISIS gear out for the malouf cup for skating. I said, “yeah no worries… But under one circumstance.” Then thought…
Then I tried to come up with something that I thought might be out of his realm or sphere of control. ALLIE LUTZ. THE HILLS. ZAC EFRON.
I tied those three things together and told ian if he got Allie Lutz to say that I was sexier than ZAC EFRON on the hills then I would let him use my Minivan.
I guess I shouldn’t really mess with ian. He kinda asked Allie if she would say that. But I can’t tell whether she would have said it or not on the show. If only I was more of a fan than maybe!
This is Adur and Alba. Alba now sells Women’s Italian Boots back in Spain and Adur remains to be a legend. These are true statements.
You might not know who Adur Letamendia is. But I do, and therefore I feel lucky. Originally from the Basque country in one of the most lovely countries in the world Adur came to America to write a research paper on american surfing. He lived with us for four months and became our brother. Brotherhood is created through action and memory. Well we definitely had both of those throughout his stay. Adur taught us of Basque cooking, the spanish world cup team and tried to iron out our crooked spoken spanish. We taught adur about atomic elbows and Billy’s Sandwiches. Nadie Hace eso!
Dane and Adur are twins. Tom Petty look-a-likes
Upon Adur’s leaving our friends came together and threw Adur a fair well bash. They called it Adur-a-Palooza. Marcos (adur’s alter ego) came out after numerous games of flip cup with beer and one mystery round of tequila. Legendary! We missed the festivities due to being in ZAF which breaks my heart but the photos of the madness brought me to the action.
ATOMIC ELBOWS (N)- The art of blasting down the door of the roomate who did not go out with the crew and piling in as many people to the room and jumping on sorry roomate piledriving elbows into their body. If roomate has girlfriend, they too will be punished with atomic elbows…guilty by association.
Adur loved Atomic elbows, he became the mascot of atomic elbow giving. This is a self explanatory voicemail that he left for our roomate Ian after a big night that he had before leaving. The passion. The emotion. The ADUR!

Nolan Hall is the man behind the lense. Or lenses. Hired by vans for his expertise in capturing natural lifestyles he is the realest of deals. We have been travelling with him since the beginning of the year and its been a hoot and a holler. Check out his blog its tits! click here.
Traveling with Nolan is like traveling with a clydesdale. 100% pure stallionism.
Nolan Hall is also known as DJ Rashguard as it is him that keeps the feet of costa mesa in a constant groove. You can find him laying down mesmerizing hits at la cave on the reg. Nobody is doin that!
Nolan Hall recently was spotted at J Bay enjoying his fresh 6′4 Flyer. Has he changed speed lines for airs? Cannot verify that yet, however his wax job on his flyer is better than his single fin. That is not a Haiku.
Part II the kooks golfing. from Tanner Gudauskas on Vimeo.
After a full day of the links the kooks brought the heat on a smoker of a par three. There were two water drops. (nolan and myself) but we played through. Life on the ct is better than that of the WQS. We got to play an 800 dollar course for ten dollars. Almost enough to make me wanna become a golfer, but then if I tried doing that I wouldnt be able to play the course anymore. Kinda funny how that works out!

I’m pretty sure i just had a religious experience. At least I know that Adur did. Having been a Don Carlos fan since his childhood in the Basque, can you imagine the electricity that was runnin’ through him when we had the opportunity to see Don Carlos live in a private showing tonight in San Clemente?? Are you kidding me? The dance vibe was unreal, and tonight will not be forgotten anytime soon! Reggae legend livin’ on!!! Hangin’ out with Don Carlos, all time!
Nate Yeomans went from Rasta warrior dread locks to Mario-staches. Its now official there have been no rocks left unturned and no style unrocked. Good on you friend!
