    Tyler – so far you are winning. Brilliant and true. You can’t just put the old pro surfers out to pasture then kill em for glue when they feel they helped build your company for you. In the words of someone on the Howard Stern show – “there are a lot of people alive today cuz it’s illegal to kill em”.

  • steve meyerowich

    Enemies-

    CI- middle class, non pro, not from cali

    Lost… – chicks with morals, longboarders, police

  • Beeker

    Woulda been rad if this competition was based more on the product and not the image. CI and lost have great high performance boards but Matt Biolos gives more options to surfers that gotta work with the waves they can get and still have fun. Plus theres nothing radder than picking up a custom mayhem and seeing Matts signature on the bottom. Not gonna get that at Channel Islands anymore.

    Favorite Mexican Joint

    Channel Islands – Wahoo’s Fish Tacos

    Lost – Pedro’s Tacos

    ***slightly edited by Mike and Joe – Kevin called one of the above a lame sold out corp mexi joint. about the only perk we get from this job other than not getting fired for skipping work cuz of surf (we get yelled at though) is that we get free meals once in a while from both the above places – and we have no problem being total sellouts when it comes to free food. So we are officially for the first time curbing your free speech.

  • http://lostenterprises.com miker

    Ward sure loves Pedro’s though. He bought a house on top of 7eleven so he could be 20 feet from Pedros…

  • Kevin

    Re: Favorite Mexican Joint

    Similar to A Reef girls ass in the front pages of your favorite Surf Mag, edits, enhancement and touchups are sometimes acceptable for the better interest of the parties involved. Which in this case is free food for you and you working cohorts.

    While I stand firm on my statement and am also looking for a room to rent above 7eleven, I honor your decision to “curb my free speech”.
