CRITTER BAUGH, 4’9” x AMAZING
And we used to think 5’5” 19 ¼ was short… HippyTree Tribe advocate Chris “critter” Baugh broke his module shape Bill Johnson surfboard and had it turned into a 4’9” hack job. Amazing. Must be all the yoga he does.
PEBBLE WRESTLING IN COLORADO
It ain’t all about California… HippyTree Tribe advocates Matt Lloyd and Adam McKenzie have been gettin’ rope free in Eldo Canyon and some other secret spots outside of Denver. Photos: Danny Madson

TAVARUA DREAMING…
Tribe advocate Jason Napolitano makes this look so damn easy… the guy has got Cloudbreak wired. And yeah, those are the new HippyTree Emulsion trunks he is wearing. Fabricated with 100% recycled polyester and Tavarua tested. Check ‘em out here or visit our Product section. Photos: Riley Cooney
CENTRAL CAL HIGHLINING
HippyTree highline maestro Jerry Miszewski rigged a line a while back near Avila Beach. Can’t beat the beauty of the California coastline. Watch out for this Miszewski kid too… probably gonna break some highline world records in the next couple of years. Photos: davidmeyersphoto.com
SHAPES BY WHEATLEY
Our shaper friend James Wheatley has been recycling snapped longboards and turning them into mini twin fins. Cool way of taking broken sticks and making them useful again. If you have a broken log and are looking to recycle it, contact Wheatley Surfboards at wheatsurfboards@yahoo.com
CRUISING BRUSH CREEK WITH SHON BOLLOCK
HippyTree Tribe member Shon Bollock filmed his run at the Brush Creek Race the other weekend. Gotta love the primo sticker placement. On a bad note, homeboy got his teeth chipped from his buddies oar… sorry dog, your grill ain’t looking too hot.

YES, YOU SUCK
This plant has been chilling out in front of our house for a couple of years now… or at least it was chilling. Not sure why someone would want to steal a plant. Must have mistaken it for the ganja.
SPYDER SURF FEST 3

SPYDER SURF FEST 3
Remember that song called “Gutfest ‘89″ by Digital Underground… not that it has anything to do with this posting, the name of this festival just made me think of that song. Great tune. Anyway, the annual Spyder Surfboards Festival is going down this weekend in Hermosa Beach. We’ll be present with the HippyTree tent giving away free duds. Check it out if you are in the area. The weather is supposed to be good.
