Penny Australia

While recently in Australia i stumbled upon these great little boards by Penny
Australia, first produced in the 70's the new Australian company is taking
things back, way back to where it all began with Plastic Injection Molded
boards perfect for carving and cruising, the boards come in an array of colors
and at 57cm x 15cm these boards are just the perfect travelling board. I'm
not a 100% sure if these are available outside Australia yet but you can find
out more here.

Birdwell Beach Britches

Today down in Venice Beach i stopped by the brilliant Mollusk Surf Shop, came
across some Birdwell Britches board shorts, founded in 1961 by Carrie "Surfin
Granny" Birdwell Mann, they come in over 20 colors and are just a great pair
of shorts that feel like they will last forever. The Birdwell trunks sit at a traditional
waist, so i suggest picking up these two sizes larger then your normal waist, this
will give the trunks a more loose and modern fit at the hip.
