Von der Pressestelle des DWV:

Unter der Schirmherrschaft der beiden deutschen Top-Surferinnen und ROXYRiderinnen Sonni Hönscheid und Carla Twelkemeier und in Kooperation mit dem DWV findet in diesem Sommer am 16. August der Girls Go Surfing Day in Hossegor statt. Der Event wird ein Tag von Girlz für Girlz sein.

Alle urlaubenden, deutschen Girlz zwischen Bordeaux und Biarritz sind herzlich eingeladen, einen Tag am Meer zu verleben:
Los geht´s morgens um 10 Uhr. Geladen werden die Girls ins Roxy / Quiksilver-Haus nach Hossegor, wo neben Surfers Breakfast und Kennenlern-Runde ein prall gefülltes Goodybag auf jede wartet!

Nach dem Surfers Breakfast geht es weiter mit entspannendem Yoga, um sich geschmeidig und gut aufgewärmt von Sonni und Carla coachen zu lassen. Surfclinics,erste Mannöver und eine kurze Einführung ins Wettkampfsurfen bieten die Grundlage für den späteren ausgefahrenen kleinen Funcontest. In lockerer Atmosphäre wollen wir versuchen mehr Mädchen für’s Wettkampfsurfen zu gewinnen und zu begeistern.

Wer Lust hat, kann sich beim Beachvolleyball austoben oder an einem professionellen Fotoshooting teilnehmen.

Nach ausgiebiger Beachaction mit Fotoshooting geht es dann gegen frühen Abend zurück zum Roxy-Haus, wo ein BBQ die müden Mädels wieder munter macht. Ob der Abend mit chilligen Tunes oder animierenden Beats ausklingt, bleibt den Mädels bei der Ladies Night selbst überlassen.

Sicherlich werden nicht nur viele nette Bekanntschaften, sondern auch unvergleichbare Momente zurückbleiben.

Anmelden könnt Ihr Euch unter jan.groenendijk@surf-dwv.de.

I had written a nice text about how I was introduced to The New Dimensions in the 80s. But I lost it trying out the new “Press This” feature of this blog software. It boiled down to the essence that any surf music fan worth his salt has to know this great teenage band from 1962.

Michael Lloyd, lead guitar; Jimmy Greenspoon, piano; Art Guy, drums, Danny Belsky, saxes; David Doud, bass; and Craig Nuttycombe, rhythm guitar.

The band never had any singles released. We worked with these hustler types by the name of Robert Hafner and Tony Hilder. They had a deal with a tiny budget label called Sutton to issue the New Dimension albums as ‘rack jobs.’ Essentially that meant their records would be pressed on cheap vinyl normally reserved for placemats, packaged in fairly generic sleeves, and shipped directly to the cut out bins with no hope of promotion, airplay, or royalties. We had three studio albums, ‘Surf ‘N Bongos’, ‘Soul’, and ‘Deuces & Eights’. We were part of a live album from the Santa Monica surf fair titled ‘Shake! Shout and Soul!’

Read the interview here.

I recently became aware of this blog through a plug-in Jon developed, and was amazed by a similarly huge Doo-Wop playlist. When I left a comment there, he mentioned the possibility of a Surf playlist and here it is. You will find the player to listen to it right on his blog article and all the tracks are listed. Awesome!

Back To The Beach: The Surf PlaylistThe Dyers.org fake surf album It’s summertime, and all the surfers and hodads are once again sharing that sandy divide between land and sea. No matter which side of the divide you’re on, there’s nothing like some reverb soaked surf-strumentals to make that grey cubicle feel more like a day at the beach.

First they build a golf course and houses to ruin the dunes and now this. What is the world coming to? Is it only surfers realizing what’s happening? Probably.

All beaches in the world belong to you – the people!!!

Scholastic scientists ignore Thor Heyerdahl’s publications to the point of constant embarassment. For example the sewn plank canoe mentioned in this article is found along the way from the Pacific Northwest to Hawaii, Micronesia, Melanesia and New Zealand. These places surround a natural ocean route, described by Heyerdahl in the 1950s. Many ethnical and cultural evidences can be found of contact with pacific indians and polynesian people. And I would expect excactly that from people populating almost every significant island in the polynesian triangle. Why should they stop there? The Americas are hard to miss once you enter the Japan current. Remember Johnny Depp drifting out in a canoe at the end of Dead Man? If redwood lumber was taken to Hawaii by stream, why not canoes of coastal settlers? Maybe the occasional dead Northwestern indian’s canoe landed in Hawai’i front tip first – they would have regarded him a god! Hawaiki!

Did ancient Polynesians visit California? Maybe so. Scholars revive idea using linguistic ties, Indian headdress Keay Davidson, Chronicle Science Writer Monday, June 20, 2005 Scientists are taking a new look at an old and controversial idea: that ancient Polynesians sailed to Southern California a millennium before Christopher Columbus landed on the East Coast.Key new evidence comes from two directions. The first involves revised carbon-dating of an ancient ceremonial headdress used by Southern California’s Chumash Indians. The second involves research by two California scientists who suggest that a Chumash word for ‘sewn-plank canoe’ is derived from a Polynesian word for the wood used to construct the same boat.
