Aaron Cervantes found some waves on his 5’6 Quadkumber this week, in Newport. Aaron also managed to split a peak with a Sandpiper, checking over his shoulder to make sure the Sandpiper went left. Photos: Thomas Green

Aaron Cervantes paddled out in micro-surf yesterday to begin his quality control testing of the new 3mm Full-suit. This is the newest update of our full-suit, redesigned for 2013. As always, hand-made by Mr. Sayama in Japan, from the finest materials. Photos: Cress

Chad Cress bought a super 8 camera off eBay, partially because everyone is fascinated with true film, partially because the camera itself looks cool. He and Aaron Cervantes went and shot at a secret spot, known to locals as the Huntington Beach Pier. Aaron was having his first go on his 5’6 Quadkumber, and Chad was having his first go with his super 8 camera… but you’d never know it. Good work, lads.
