The Longboard Blog

Today was my first day back from the Surf Expo trade show, so I wanted to take it easy on myself. What could be easier than photographing a few reissued Powell and Bones stickers. Turns out, there are over 22 of them, and it took 6 hours to shoot, edit, and add them to the site. It was well worth the effort, as every sticker I worked on brought back great memories. Each sticker is just as crisp and vibrant as I remember the originals to be, and appear to be manufactured by the same silkscreening method, which gives them that extra punch.

Snow has taken over the landscape here in Bend. Even so, we have visions of longboards dancing in our heads, since we ship a bunch of product to the southern hemisphere during the winter season. But now that the holidays are behind us, we can commence preparations for the spring season. So away we go, to the Surf Expo show [rhyme intended]. Every January, Florida is home to one of the largest surf and skate shows. We walk and talk the seemingly endless forest of manufactures, searching for the latest and greatest in longboard related products.

Update: The show is now over, and we enjoyed meeting with a bunch of our current suppliers, and some new. I will keep you updated as some of the new products begin to roll in.
