Be Inspired!

Wow, what an amazing winter we continue to have here in California. I am so stoked to have been able to get some waves the last few days with some good friends. Over the weekend I also attended the Inspiration show up at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. It was great to check out the eclectic mix of art, fashion and surf all bundled together. Its always good to be around that kind of energy to open you up to new inspiration. Find what inspires you and go after it with all of your heart…

California at its Finest

The waves and the weather really came together the last few days here in town and most places in California were at their finest. We sure have been blessed with swell this year. Here is a quick shot from this morning, and I will try and update with more tomorrow. Waves should be good and I am going to be up at the Inspiration show in Long Beach so please come by if you are in the area!

Aviso Gold Label in Production!

Our new Gold Label Aviso boards have been coming down from the factory over the last few weeks and I am so excited about what I am seeing. The quality of the boards that I have seen is nothing short of amazing. I will post some more studio shots of some of the different models tomorrow so please check back for more. For now here are a few shots from around town…

Good times in California

We continue to see swell here in California and the rain we had earlier this week gave way to amazing conditions the last few days. Two days ago was perhaps the most beautiful sunset we have witnessed in a long time. I am so excited as I type this because there is another swell filling in tonight and the future continues to look very promising! Here are some shots from the past week that I pulled off of Naki`s blog earlier of us getting a few waves around town. He has been killing it on the new Aviso Cole BD3 Gold Label…

The Captain and the Queen

So the past week has been pretty slow as far as swell goes but it has given us a chance to get caught up on some work. The Aviso factory delivered the first small batch of Gold Label boards a few days ago and they look absolutely amazing. They are going to be available direct from the factory here in the States starting next week. Right now Japanese customers can prebook through NakiSurf so please take advantage of this opportunity. Here are some more shots from last weeks mission to Rincon and El Cap, as well as a few randoms from around town. Please check back with us soon for more!

California Love

aviso_nickh — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 04:45:47 +0000

There is a reason why surfers love California in the winter. The crowds thin a little, the Aleutian Juice starts flowing and the Santa Ana winds often blow. The last few weeks have been a shining example of why we live here in Cali. The whole coast and down into Mexico was overflowing with swell and I just finally had a chance to wash the salt out of my hair, download all of my pictures, and get organized. Here are a couple random shots from the last week or so, with plenty more to come…

The Aviso Gold Series!

aviso_nickh — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 05:20:21 +0000

The last few weeks we have had a great run of swell here in California, giving us the perfect opportunity to put the new Aviso Gold Series to the test in all sorts of different conditions. From Trestles to Rincon it has passed with flying colors. It is the ultimate combination of technolgy, durability, function and form. We strive to bring you the finest quality products here at Aviso using the finest materials, and the Aviso Gold Series is the New Generation of Surfboard Technology!

Christmas Gold!

aviso_nickh — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 05:18:54 +0000

I am pleased to announce the release of the New Generation of Aviso Surfboards, the Aviso Gold Label! I have just received the very first article of the new line and I am completely blown away by what has been created by Aviso. Using a brand new hex weave of carbon fiber that will be showing up in other sporting gear next year, code named 007, Aviso has once again raised the bar in order to provide its customers with the highest quality boards on the market. Please check back with us soon for more details. I hope you all had a great Christmas, we were blessed with perfect weather and swell today here in California. There is nothing like starting the day driving through a few barrels, then following it up with family and feasting for the rest.

Winter Daze

We are closing in on the end of the year and I can hardly believe it. Looks like 2012 is just around the corner. I think there is some hype out there over a calander or some shit but I am pretty sure we have a little time left on the clock. On another subject, here are a few shots from the beginning of the week at Lowers and what not…

Love to Surf!

Here are a few more shots from around town over the last few days. It has been so much fun lately here on the west coast, and it has been great having Naki and his friends in town as well. After surfing the beaches all week we made it down to Lowers this morning and got some really fun waist to chest high surf with a very light crowd before the wind came up. Cant wait to see what tomorrow brings…
