Wheel Park in Aurora Colorado

Just got back from Colorado. Aurora is next to Denver, although I didn't get a chance to check out Denver Skatepark I did check out Wheel Skatepark. This park rocked!!! Huge skatepark and BMX park right next to it. The Skatepark is Bike Friendly. The large bowl had about 7 guys riding bikes. A couple of guys were pulling off 7 foot airs flawlessly. If you get a chance you should check out this park. Worth the ride or drive.....

Great white shark warning off California

Reposted from SFGATE.com

(07-01) 08:35 PDT Ventura, Calif. (AP) --

The National Park Service is warning surfers, snorkelers and swimmers that it's the great white shark birthing season off the California coast and the creatures are making their presence known as they attack seals.

Sea lions were recently attacked by great whites on three occasions off Santa Barbara Island, a popular snorkeling area about 40 miles south of Ventura.

A weekend great white off Santa Barbara's East Beach led officials to keep youngsters in the Junior Lifeguard program on the beach Monday and Tuesday. On Sunday, a great white pup was found dead at Rincon Beach.

Marine Conservation Science Institute president Michael Domeier says pregnant females give birth this time of year in shallow California waters.

New Blanks Ready for Glass

 

Here are the New Pro Blanks ready for Glassing this summer.  I will embark on creating a new series of boards based on this new shape. If you would like to pick up one of these for this Summers road trips let me know and I will start on it right away.  Three boards will be a limited edition “Bowl –A-Rama” board with this cool graphic I picked up at Laney College last Sunday.  Laney is Flea that happens once a week in Oakland, Ca.  These new boards have a thicker profile for a stiffer ride.  I do not use a stringer on the board.  If they break, buy another.  But really, in most cases they will not snap.  If you are a pro rider then you already have many boards in your ride ready for the next wave.

This weekend is a big Comp at Luguna Beach.  Don’t miss out.  I am trying to make it down there but who knows……. There are a couple more comps this season in CA, socal and norcal. 

Check out the breaks at Crissy Field San Francisco below the Golden Gate Bridge.  The water is cold so wear a wetsuit but they are perfect for skimmming.  You will have to be the attention of all the tourist walking by.

Be sure to follow my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/youmakmesik as I will be posting videos  of my new board series in construction.

Also, Go Skateboarding Day is, around the World, June 21st.  Look for events art your local skateshop or skatepark.  Visit – www.goskateboardingday.org
