Tales from the pier wall

Here's some pics from 30.5.07 which i just got in this week at the pier wall outside roker harbour.
It's a great spot because as its so close to home and when it works it works good with a near perfect,uniform wave everytime in good conditions.

Me carving about.


Ferg dropping down a fair sized one.


Daz going for it.


Some bloke had stolen his ma's ironing board,
this is just a great photo.


More carverama.


Riding the green.

Nice one Pat for taking more pics!

While thinking of a title for this post, i at last remembered
'Tales from the Tube'
A magazine i found lying around at school when i was about 13 in art class and obviously have still not forgotten it until now.
The art work in this mag was so good by a guy called Rick Griffin who was also a leader in designing 60's psycedelic rock posters and album covers for the 'gratefuldead'.
Turns out mr griffin is some boy, google him to find the more secret truths in his life? as i'm not giving the full game away.

R.I.P. rick griffin.




Turns out in 1976 rick griffin toured europe with his art and did exhibitions in Amsterdam, London and sunderland.
hows about that then lol.
More on mr griffin!
