Scott Dickerson and friends are a dedicated bunch of surfers up in Homer, Alaska. Undoubtedly some of the coldest conditions in the 50 states, these guys still have the biggest smile when surfing their local surf spots. Filled with stoke and the possibilities of discovery Scott and friends recently boarded the 58′ M/V Milo to explore some of the 34,000 miles of Alaskan coastline. Here are some shots of Scott and Frederick Dickerson surfing and using the Matuse, Tumo 6/5/4 Hooded fullsuit. They’ll be finishing up their trip soon and we can’t wait to see more pics and find out what surf spots they discovered. For more info or to contact Scott visit: http://surfalaska.net/
Bobby Ray aka B.O.B. dropped his new mixtape No Genre yesterday and, as expected, every song is legit. Bobby Ray keeps the lyrics fresh and the production is dope. Check out two songs below and head over to Just Excellent Beats to find out where to get the mixtape.

Matuse Family Member, Tyler Cuddy, has been posted up on the rock this winter. You’ve probably seen his photos on Surfline.com lately. Tyler sent over some images from the last Pipeline swell. Kai Otton, Jamie Sterling and Flynn Novak all charging and getting their share out at Pipe. Keep an eye out for more images from Cuddy after the next swell hits.

Chiddy Bang has been all the rage recently, so I figured I’d throw you two songs, one old one new, from the Philly duo. Up top is a collaboration with G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean off of Finally Famous Vol. 3 (“Uknowbigsean” is his best mix tape though) and secondly we’ve got the most recent entry into Chiddy’s “Mash-up Mondays” which finds Chiddy rapping over a Xaphoon Jones beat which makes great use of Bobby McFerrin’s classic feel-good jam of the same name.

Matuse Family Member, Mikala Jones, gets back to familiar territory as he airs and rips apart Rocky Point this morning. The fun surf is a prelude to much larger surf anticipated for later this week. Lets hope the conditions stay clean so we see some more amazing images from the Matuse family.
