BRETTSKI JONES

Brett JonesHolding it down for psychos worldwide.

Big ups to Matuse Family Member, Brett Jones, for passing his ambulance driver’s test. In addition to his skeelz behind the wheel, Brett makes up for his lack of sunglass fashion sense with excellent taste in premium (the ichiban) game. We hope Brett never sees any of our friends while he’s working.

Matuse Famliy Member, Luke rife, was sopping up the goodness December had on offer. Here are only a few shots from the many sessions he had over the last month. California surfers know how good it’s been. Sunburned faces, sore muscles and big smiles have been seen all around town. Here’s to actually being over surfed.

Check out Luke on SurferMag.com. He has a couple of shots at the following link. #2 and #11 feature Luke.

WHO DAT DAN?

Dude Bro Stoke
Matuse pal, Dan Gliganic (i.e., known to most peeps as Dudebro) put his new Hoplite 432 to the test in some heavy water. Along with accomplice Justin Spadafora, Dan paddled into some monsters during one of California’s recent run of bombing swells. Keep on charging boys!

Press Dog Squawk

Matt Pressman

Dear Matuse Family,

Not sure if you’ve seen the big NY Times article about Obama and terrorism. I heard it was published two weeks early, so I called up the Times for an explanation:

Matuse Family Member, Matt Pressman, is an Assistant Editor at Vanity Fair Magazine and a bard-at-large. The Boston-native, Dartmouth Alum and Manager of VF’s vaunted softball squad, resides in New York City. When he’s not musing on the arts, the economy and other relevant social happenings Matt can be found mad dogging Yankee fans.

JP enjoying some of the Dec swells that hit San Diego. Rare spots came alive if you knew where to look. Here he rides the same sand bar on back to back days on two different boards. An amazing run of swells made for almost mirror image waves over the two day period. Then it got even bigger.
