Jake Shimabukuro

Hey crew, my brother had me check out this video last week when he was home. Anyone who has played a little guitar can appreciate the mad skills this dude is laying down. Killer tune! Check it out!

Sleeping Bear Dunegrass Blues Festival

Crew, lets start planning this! Since, I will be in Austria during Rothbury, and it is so expensive let's rally a big group to Dunegrass this year. If you click on the title it will bring you to the site. The line up looks really killer for our local scene! It should be a great time.

Also, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are playing this Friday at Van Andel! Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate the last day of school. Anyone up for it??

Spring in the Haven

Hey Crew,
I haven't posted anything in quite a while so I thought I should see if I remembered how. Maybe one of these days Sunny and I will unload our PR photos from our camera and get them on SAMA. Til then, I thought I'd throw a couple of shots of last Thursday's kite session in GH. It's been fun, lots of kiting and a couple of surf sessions in the past week. If only we could put away the 6 mm wetties...

Instituto de Lenjuajes

Samainians! Anyone interested in some Spanish and Surfing down in Puerto Escondido!?!? Here is Brian Vander Kooy originally from Grand Haven, and his business down in Mexico. Click on the title to check out his school and website. Very nice! Brian is a very cool dude that I had the opportunity to meet the other night. He is currently living the dream! He runs Instituto de Lenjuajes during the spring, summer, fall, and spends his winters teaching Spanish at the Colorado Mountain College, and part time snowboard instructing for Vail. I say we put together a trip down there soon! A little Surf and Spanish, plus maybe some volunteering at the local orphanage? Samainians want to help too!!
