AFG teams Souths to New Smyrna Beach

The Van Go crew scored fun waves today with AFG owner/shaper Paul Hyers and shaper Jordan Hamner. Coming off a late night party, we dawned at Bethune Beach. Light winds, a 3' south swell, and warm water stoked the combined crew into a 3 hour session. The sharkless and crowdless (a NSB rarity) morning only reared two scars.

The first Hand Plane has been sold!

Well, not really.  Tonight was the fundraiser dinner for Christian Surfers NSB's El Salvador Mission trip.  There was good food, a jazz band, live paintings by Dylan Cummings, and a silent auction.  The hand plane made by the VanGo crew was donated for the auction.  None other but NSB local legend Bill Whatley won the board.  Bill is now a proud owner of an a VanGo "object of stoke."

Slurpees

     There are more than one ways to skin a cat, but there is only one proper way to get a slurpee from a gas station.  Slurpees contain air, which makes the slurpee less dense.  To get the most out of your slurpee you must expel this air leaving you in a flavored fizzy awesomeness.  First, put the lid on your cup to maximize your slurpee volume.  After filling your slurpee, let your slurpee sit for roughly 20 seconds.  Then, tap the bottom of the cup on the counter a few times.  This presses the slurpee down farther into the cup.  You will see that about half your cup is empty now because you compressed the slurpee.  Now, fill your cup again and repeat the steps.  Congratulations, you just got the most out of your slurpee.  Be aware of ugly stares from the 7 Eleven staff.
