This World Needs More Sharks and People that Love Them

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 by JohnnyShred

You'd Eat This Crap?

Most people think of sharks as eating machines, stealthy stealthing the depths of the ocean, looking for Christian babies to eat, as it is the only way to satisfy their unholy hunger. Kind of like sea vampires, only not quite as hot, and you probably couldn’t get Gary Oldman to play one in a movie. In summary, they are scary so we might as well cut off their fins and make a soup used for some kind of boner tonic for us gentlemen.

Sharks are stealthy, no doubt. But the last thing they crave is human blood. Somehow we need to get the word out. Hmmm. But how to do that, you say? Lets kick it Obama style, do some community organizing and march around and tell people! Can we kick it, yes we can! ¡Si, Se Puede!

On Saturday, January 17th, from 12pm until 3pm, there will be a Shark March Through China Town in Toronto, Ontario. Yonge Street & Dundas Street (Eatons Centre). It might be a long way from any actual sharks, but there is a certain vibrant community there that makes use of a ton of shark fins.

There is more info at the facebook group. Even if you’re not from Toronto, sign up for the group or stay tuned here at the Squid Force HQ for other events in San Francisco and New York.

Remember - if all you know about sharks is that they make for good movies and soup, you have no right to silently judge them. Lets leave the silent judging to the Williamsburg hipsters, shall we?

Chuck Norris vs. Bruce Lee

I didn’t think there was a man alive who could kick Chucks ass…

Oh, that’s right, Bruce Lee is dead. Coincidence? I think not.

His skin is so Porous!

Stubby

Dickie Vocals has me all hyped up on these things. Since breaking my most sincere thruster a couple of days ago, I have been contemplating alternate paths to waveriding zen. The Stubby is one option I’m considering. (more…)

Smoke on the Water

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 by Ty Torres

It’s been a wild and windy week out here in Southern California as a trio of fires have been burning out of control through Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange Counties. While it looks like the worst is over (the Santa Ana winds have died down and been replaced with a sea breeze), hundreds of homes were burned to the ground and the smoke is still streaming out to sea. Here’s a nifty time-lapse from Newport Beach on Saturday as the smoke from the fires make it’s way westward:

NASA also grabbed a shot from space of the fires:

Finally, here’s a shot from Dana Point looking NNW to the Freeway Fire:

Best to all who were affected…

Surf Fishing is Red Hot!

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 by MC

Bunker, Pogies and Massive Blues mixed with Bass are being reported up and down the NJ Coast.
The bunker are so scared, they’ve been beaching themselves to avoid being eaten alive by “Old Yelloweyes”. I guess suffocation is preferred over dismemberment.

Go get em Squids! Though they’ll hit anything, metal and live-lining have been producing the best results.

Skateboarding is illegal in NYC

No, it’s not another angle of the Broadway Bomb.

It’s national skateboarding day in NYC. Sure looks fun.
