We had an absolute blast last year and are planning on bringing up a few more bros this year. As it stands, I think we're on for at least 10 guys right now. In order to make plans for an additional yurt if needed, it would be great to hear back from everyone who plans on going.

As always, twin-plankers are welcome but just know that there will be plenty of knuckle-dragger-bro-brah going on, and we tend to stink up the bathroom real bad...

Mitten Coast Eco Surfboards

Hey Crew,

Here is a big shout out to one of blog readers. Nate Lattimore, owner and artisan of a new line of locally produced environmentally friendly wooden surfboards!

Mitten Coast Surfboards
The goal of Mitten Coast Surf Company is to help grow the Great Lakes surf scene and be an environmentally friendly alternative to foam, creating beautiful boards out of nature, not plastic, right here in Michigan.

We'll do our best to come up with the surf board, paddle board, or any other kind of wood board your heart desires.

From Nate:

A little background on me, I grew up in Michigan snowboarding and skateboarding, went to college, got a degree, got the cool job of working in pro sports in

Charlotte North Carolina and realized it wasn't cool at all and completely hated it. My wife and I moved to Holland in January so I could take a job restoring wooden boats (www.mbbw.com).

Rusted Root??

To all who are interested chim in here on the blog, or send me an email. It looks like a nice south is shaping up for the weekend, so we could hit Frankfort for a surf, or kite. Let me know so we can see how many are interested in making the show!!

The concert is Friday night. We could grab a hotel room or if the weather is still really nice we could swoop a campsite somewhere close by.

UP Goodness This Weekend

I love this shot of our little point. This photo was not taken this weekend, but it shows the beauty of the break. The surf Sunday was bigger than the this day. I will allow you to draw your own conclusions about the size. But, I will remember some of those rides for many years to come.

Rusted Root Nov. 7th in Traverse City

Who is up for a Rusted Root Show??!!!

Friday Nov. 7th at Streeters in Traverse. The show starts at 9pm. We could rally up there and check into a hotel room. Hopefully, there will be some surf or kiting to be scored that weekend up north on Saturday. Let's do it!

AP investigation: Hurricane Ike environmental toll apparent

09:23 AM CDT on Sunday, October 5, 2008

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Hurricane Ike's winds and massive waves destroyed oil platforms, tossed storage tanks and punctured pipelines. The environmental damage only now is becoming apparent: At least a half million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico and the marshes, bayous and bays of Louisiana and Texas, according to an analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

In the days before and after the deadly storm, companies and residents reported at least 448 releases of oil, gasoline and dozens of other substances into the air and water and onto the ground in Louisiana and Texas. The hardest hit places were industrial centers near Houston and Port Arthur, Texas, as well as oil production facilities off Louisiana's coast, according to the AP's analysis.

"We are dealing with a multitude of different types of pollution here ... everything from diesel in the water to gasoline to things like household chemicals," said Larry Chambers, a petty officer with the U.S. Coast Guard Command Center in Pasadena, Texas.

The Coast Guard, with the Environmental Protection Agency and state agencies, has responded to more than 3,000 pollution reports associated with the storm and its surge along the upper Texas coast. Most callers complain about abandoned propane tanks, paint cans and other hazardous materials containers turning up in marshes, backyards and other places.

Bummer,, we hope our SAMA South Texas rep Travis Smith isn't having to surf in oil.
