Your Cart is Empty.
In 1963 Rich Novak began working with Doug Haut, a close friend and local surfboard shaper, in various surfboard production shops around town. In their mid-to late 20's, Rich, Doug and Jay (Shuirman), started their own surfboard business, Solar Surfboards, driven by the idea that they would play as much as possible and work the shop only when the waves were not cooperating. But by 1969, Jay was attending college and had started a family, and the three friends had to search for steady and legitimate work. They parlayed their surfboard experience into distributing raw materials for surfboards, ultra-light sailboats, motorcycle fairings, and auto bodies. A new company called NHS (Novak, Haut, and Shuirman) was born in the back of their small shop on 41st Avenue in Santa Cruz.

we just got in a pile of die-cut shop stickers in... and a bunch of 02891 barcodes to tell everyone that you're gnarly.
well... it wasn't really sunny but it really didn't matter... Chabba and i went down to Surf Expo with the dudes from Newport and got some work done... and a little partying... here's a few highlight pics (my camera didn't make it out much)... Chabba won $100 at the Vans party and lost it within minutes...we got to chill with 'Stretch'... made it to 'Gunner Down' a few times... pulled some e-brakes... picked up some new brands and drank water the whole time.

we need to hook up junior and this dude... get these dudes on tour and make some loot...(no skateboarding footy for you today...some d-bag forgot the video camera going to Haven...so you won't be able to see Mufasa (Jay Bernier aka 'the lion king') or any footy of Jus, Ian or Prod....next time.
if you don't know who this dude is... you do now... frickin ridiculous.
i love finding old clips on youtube that become new again when you've drank a bunch.... old shop/bowl footy...still sick.
