The Ezekiel team had a skate demo and signed autographs along with the Brixton team. They also had an insane autograph signing with Ryan Sheckler, Jason Dill, Mark Appleyard, Daewon Song, Chris Haslam and all of the who’s who of skate. It was a sikkkkk day!

We are so stoked to introduce the one and only Le Panda as our newest kickass blog contributor. Fyasko is on fire with a team of amazing talents – Crazy Dave, Benjamin Classen, Mash Hatae & now Le Panda. For those of you who are not familiar with the hip Los Angeles party scene, here’s a little brief on the outgoing photographer who also goes by Clayton Woodley.
With a childhood spent in Australia and a midwest upbringing, it makes sense that Clayton is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth and lovable photographers on the LA beat. He doesn’t just stay behind the camera, he engages his audience to catch some of the most animated and unbelievable photos – they aren’t just party photos, they really capture the moment and make you feel like you are standing right there. This must be due to his natural disposition with the camera, since he picked his first one up at the age of 10.
Starting out shooting events in the action sports industry, the invitations to snap the behind-the-scenes debauchery at the after parties came easy. Having built up his reputation, he soon graduated to becoming THE photographer for the countries’ largest festivals including OC Pacific Festival, SXSW, Winter Music Conference and of course, Coachella. His portfolio not only includes photos of some of the most incredible celebrities, he also has a collection of exquisitely shot images that embrace the rawness of what goes on everyday in the streets of LA.
Having spent his adult years in SoCal, he enjoys an active lifestyle of snowboarding and the amazing beach life California has to offer. He is also known for being quite an excellent chef and occasionally documents his gourmet accomplishments on his facebook page. Coined “Le Panda” in 2008, Clayton has captured thousands of priceless moments through his numerous friendships in the music, nightlife, and action sports scenes.
To check out his work, peep his website www.lepanda.com or like his fanpage at www.facebook.com/claytonlepanda.
We are incredibly lucky to have Le Panda as part of the team – Welcome to the Fyasko family bud!
Aloha Sailors,
Working on a boat, I realize that front row boats moored at most marina’s have astronomical slip fees. You would think that the boat’s in the back, or regular slips in less “nice” harbors would be cheaper…that is not the case!
First off, it’s nearly impossible to get a slip, let alone keep it on land. Private marina’s are still in pretty good shape, but they’re ridiculously expensive and have a long waiting list. The state harbors are all falling apart, with garbage impacted in all the corners of their waters. Their prices definitely do not reflect the conditions of their slips, and their waiting lists are even longer. Average slip fees have doubled in the past couple years, going from $2.20/ft to $4.30/ft at the time of this writing.
On the Waikiki Yacht Club, for example, their website states that there’s an “initiation fee” of $2200 and starting $115/mo to keep their slips amongst other fees…but when I walked into speak with them for a slip, it would have cost me over $500 to keep my boat there a month. Ko Olina Marina, which is a much nicer marina, would be
$29.90/mo/ft!!
I have a 23ft Tremolino Trimaran, which at the time of purchase was moored at the Ko Olina Marina, the nicest Marina in the state. I was unable to continue payment for the slip, so I took it apart and trailered it. Finding a spot for it on land was not any easier. Through knowing the right people, I was able to get it a home on land, for almost nothing. That was after searching tons of storage facilities etc which were asking for over $150 to $200 a month.
Currently, I am waiting on an opportunity to get my boat into the Kaneohe Yacht Club with a couple sponsors and the works. I look forward to getting my boat back out sailing again, but I dread thinking about how much it will cost me.
Boats really are just holes in the ocean you throw money into. Well, it is said that the two happiest days of a boat owners life are the day they buy the boat, and the day they sell it.
What are your thoughts? Should it be so difficult to sail in Paradise?
Mahalo,
Mash
We just received this from our friend, the Brown Mechanic. This video is amazing – It’s the story behind Hennessy Cognac. Here’s a little excerpt from the interactive website www.NeverStopNeverSettle.com
“In Cognac, France, where Hennessy is made, rabbits run wild. But the intriguing animals are rarely seen.
Over time, people invented tales about them; Tales about a creature that lives in people’s minds.
This elusive Wild Rabbit, is thought to drive people from one success to another.
For 250 years Hennessy’s Wild Rabbit has been to build on our expertise and push our world class cognac ever closer to perfection. Constantly chasing. Never stopping. Never settling.
WHAT’S YOUR WILD RABBIT?
Franco-Hungarian painter Mambo is taking his turn this month at creating an installation for The Box at The Standard, Hollywood. We’ve been fans of Mambo for a while, his paintings are iconic, his YouTube page is chock full of fun, and he has his own iPad/iPhone app. In addition to having installations in The Box and The Lobby, the hotel also begged him to paint a couple murals on the roof! Take a peep at some of the pics from opening night.
