I think I've done a post on the twenty five foot Moai that resides in one of the warhouses I frequent in my duties. But today was an extra special surprise.

Picture turning the corner in a warehouse and there stacked against the walls, were row upon row of surfboards. And I'm talking old side of a tree longboards. Mixed in were were early Hobies etc.

Then in front of this are the disassembled remains of about 25 mechanical hula girls.

Then I noticed a figure looming over me. Underneath the stretch wrap the sinister/comical smile of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth beamed down at me, while panels of Rick Griffin surfer art from the 70's screamed "Paint me on a chevey van!!!".

Well theis post isn't quite TIKI, but I thought some people might dig on it.

P.S. This was all from the Surf Art show that was at the Laguna Museum of Art, and it is headed out to Hawaii.
