Gonna cruise in the year on a new skateboard...in style. The "Hybrid" board from Arbor Skateboards was my pick. A super smooth, concave long-skate of Hawaiian Koa wood that will be just perfect for the slopes of urban Tokyo, where I live. Still a "Bambi on ice" in many tight corners and busy intersections, but this baby is going to take me there.

I'll keep my old, beaten up "no brand" board for my weekly suicide missions in the halfpipe. -"Better to regret something you did, than something you didn't do.

Skimboarding Skimboard characteristics[edit] Riders generally favor a board length which reaches about their mid-chest height when stood on end. Thickness of the board depends somewhat on the materials used in construction, but typically ranges from 3/8 inch to 1 inch. The most common thickness is 5/8" and 3/4". A few high-flotation foam core boards and "soft" boards have been built with thicknesses in excess of 2 inches.

A 5/8 board is capable of sharper turns while sacrificing a little speed. A 3/4 will be able to glide out farther, but turning may be harder. Most skimboards will have some nose lift, or rocker. Dangers[edit] There are many types of dangers that skimboarders can face on a daily basis. A study was done in a British journal on the dangers of skimboarding and it states, "Over a 5 month period—May to September 2003—10 patients were seen by the fracture team at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust. Many injuries that skimboarders suffer happen over a long period of time.

Balsawood Surfboards, Balsawood Blanks, Balsawood Custom Surfboards - FROM BALSASURFERS. Ecuadorians have always fished from Balsa rafts, the ancient Machiguenga culture believed their God, Tasorinchi, carved the first people on Earth out of Balsa wood! Spanish Conquistadores saw the Incas transport armies on the river and seas and gave the wood its Spanish name: Balsa meaning raft Surfing is said to originate on the Hawaiian Islands, as surfboards were made according to size of surfers, style of riding, type of wave. Surfboards were wooden, either Ulu (Bread-Fruit), Koa (Hawaiian Mahogany) or Wili-Wili (Hawaiian Balsa, which is not endemic and was reserved for royalty).

Thor Heyerdahls’ Kontiki raft sailed the currents from South America and demonstrated how Balsa wood seedlings would have reached Hawaii by ancient tribes. Early 20th century ‘father’ of surf culture Duke Kahanamoku, introduced surfing and water man ship to Australia, California and foreigners in his home waters of Hawaii.

The Most Beautiful Green Home Building Construction Project Ever? – Green Building Elements. Design Published on April 9th, 2009 | by ziggy April 9th, 2009 by ziggy My jaw dropped when I first watched this video tour of a beautiful owner-built green building construction project in Oregon. This particular green building is made entirely out of cob, a mixture of clay, sand, and straw. Meka Bunch of Wolf Creek, Oregon built this stunning cob house over a four year period.

Complete with hand-sculpted furniture, shelves and nooks built directly into the walls, arched windows, and a killer custom staircase, his cob building is a divine artistic achievement. Check out the video and photos of Meka’s cob cottage for yourself: [youtube= This couch is made of cob and features wood storage tucked underneath, right next to the stove. The kitchen features many shelves and nooks built directly into the cob walls, and also includes a small compost chute. Gorgeous custom-made cob staircase. The north porch of Meka’s cob cottage. About the Author. Super Awesome Yosmite Mud Hostel! -- IndieGoGo. My name is Guy and I love to play in the mud! So much so that I am building a hostel out of cob, which is basically dirt from the building site mixed with a little water, sand, and straw.

Why is this significant you may ask??? This is a very environmentally sound approach to building and using dirt from your site as the main building material greatly reduces the overall building costs. Plus you are not clear cutting a bunch of forests and it’s a heck of a lot of fun! This is also significant because most building departments do not allow this type of construction so we have a huge opportunity, maybe even a duty if you want to get lofty, to complete this project and demonstrate to the world the beauty, environmental soundness, ease of construction, and just down right fun associated with cob! So who am I? Basically I’m a dude who landed in a cubicle for several years, got sick of it, and decided to build a hostel as my escape plan. Guy. Need Money? Try This “Secret” Source Of Funding.

Until recently, yoga retreats conjured images of hippie-dippy communes with spartan dormitories, flavorless vegan food, and long hours of silence interspersed with chanting. Now, thanks to the spa vacation trend and yoga’s popularity, those who want to stretch out and rejuvenate while enjoying a relaxing beach trip can have it all.

Imagine practicing sun salutations to the sound of lapping waves instead of Enya music, while looking at an ocean sunrise rather than walls plastered with happy Buddha posters. Retreat locales are as varied as the asanas (poses), ranging from luxurious resorts that feature celebrity instructors and bonus activities like cooking classes, spa treatments, sunset cruises, and tequila tastings, to rustic lodges where the focus is limited to yoga and nature.

Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution is a 1999 book co-authored by Paul Hawken, Amory Lovins and Hunter Lovins. It has been translated into a dozen languages and was the subject of a Harvard Business Review summary.[2] In Natural Capitalism the authors describe the global economy as being dependent on natural resources and ecosystem services that nature provides.

Natural Capitalism is a critique of traditional "Industrial Capitalism", saying that the traditional system of capitalism "does not fully conform to its own accounting principles. It liquidates its capital and calls it income. Natural capitalism recognizes the critical interdependency between the production and use of human-made capital and the maintenance and supply of natural capital.[3] The authors argue that only through recognizing this essential relationship with the Earth's valuable resources can businesses, and the people they support, continue to exist. Other editions of Natural Capitalism[edit] The Tyranny of Trends. Charty Durrant is a former fashion editor for The Sunday Times, The Observer and British Vogue, and is a lecturer in contemporary communication at The London College of Fashion.

You can find more of Charty’s work on her website, and hear her in person at the Hello Etsy conference in Berlin! Humanity has always adorned and embellished. From earliest times we have painted ourselves and distinguished one tribe from another by our clothes, jewellery and hair – it is an innate part of us. The artistry and celebration attached to adornment and embellishment are natural and confirm the creative capacity of humankind. Yet as we move further into the 21st century it is clear that the entire planet is out of balance, and nowhere is this demonstrated more comprehensively than in the fashion industry. Our lust for shopping and our sophistry for style have taken us into a critical new arena. Fashion has always served as a cultural barometer, measuring the zeitgeist of any given period.

Surfing Accessories Eco Friendly Surfboard Wax Matunas' Organic Wax The grand irony of surfing is that our equipment leaches toxins into the ocean.

This is true of our surfboards, board shorts, wetsuits, sun block and even our wax. In fact, petrochemicals are in 95% of surf wax found on the market today. So when we started hearing about natural and organic surfboard waxes, the two questions we had as scientists are: is it really better for the environment and does it perform? Bubble Gum & Rob Machado's Wax Line Surfers may now choose alternative surf waxes that use natural ingredients including Mantunas' local and organic wax line, Bubble Gum's Rob Machado inspired eco friendly stick and the Sticky Bumps Soy series. Matunas, for example, uses only local ingredients. While it is awesome to see these three companies all working to be a bit more friendly to mother earth, the big question we needed to get an answer to was if these waxes work. Sticky Bumps Soy Wax.

Fair Trade USA | Every Purchase Matters. First Fair-Trade-, Fair-Labor-Certified Clothing Arrives in the U.S. Share on Tumblr Email It’s been three years in the making, but TransFair USA is finally ready to slap its fair-trade seal of approval on clothing. The San Francisco nonprofit, the only third-party fair-trade certifier in the United States, has launched a new fair-trade certification for appare l, the nation’s first to certify both ends of the supply chain: farms and factories. Although fair-trade-certified togs have been available in Europe for years, TransFair’s pilot program marks the first time Americans will be able to identify garments that are not only sustainably produced but also guarantee fair, above-the-market compensation to cotton farmers and garment workers alike.

From now till spring, TransFair will be rolling out its pilot brands, which currently include Tompkins Point Apparel , a new line of organic-cotton men’s polo shirts, and Hae Now , a nascent purveyor of organic-cotton blank tees. But “fair trade” isn’t the only label making headway into the ethical apparel market. Start me up! A profile of nToklo.
