ELLINGTON CUSTOM SURFBOARDS Oddly enough, Mission Beach native Jim Ellington's shaping career began in 1975 on the North Shore in Tom Parrish & Steve Cranston's now legendary Lightning Bolt Surfboard shop. From the the age of seventeen he talked story with Rabbit Bartholomew, Peter Townend, Shaun Tomson, Mark Richards, Ian Cairns and more of the era's greatest surfers. All day long jim would listen to the best surfers of the era explain what they liked or didn't like about the boards they were currantly riding. Jim would shape his own experimental prototypes based on their tough requirements and test them down on his local break at Log Cabin; mere steps away from Off The Walls and Pipeline. Since then Jim's shaped over 15,000 surfboards, His early line of JET's (Jim Ellington Team Surfboards) are so cal collectables and his current retro fin designs are meticulously refined to fit any surfers needs with a commitment to high performance. Jim Ellinton enjoys working with individual surfers with specific requirements to create one of a kind custom surfboards.

Aloha all. As I promised/threatened at the end of '08 I'll be peppering into this thread artwork from beyond the pacific rim that you might enjoy including in your home bar. (GASP!) Try to remember that the godfathers of tiki really couldn't have cared less if the tikis with which they decorated their restaurants and hotels were actually by indigenous native carvers or some WASP in orange county. The overall effect of transportative otherworldlyness was, in my opinion their ultimate goal. You might explore evidence of this in photos featuring Chinese tiles, decorative Japanese sake urns and net floats or wicker furnishings from Asia Minor and the Carribean featured in the Book of Tiki. The general materials used to construct these artificial atmospheres were also of suspiciously non-Polynesian origin. I believe we can all agree there's a severe lack of African Benin, German Walnut and English Brown Oak in the Pacific and of course Donn Beach had no aversion to the Carribean even employing maps of the rum islands in his restaurants. You like rum. (I'm just trying to help connect the dots for you.) Anyhooo... By now purists have gone off to look at some pretty tapa on another thread leaving us, the fearless, to continue our journey into the heart of the Carribean... The artisans of Andros Island...

Sorry to keep ya waitin' Squiddly my old chum. A little more info on the artisans of Andros Island... Americans who sided with Britain during the Revolutionary war were granted asylum there and resettled bringing more African slaves from Florida, SC, Virginia and Georgia to establishing plantations. Even before Abolition the British Navy would "Deposit" liberated slaves on the Island. Dwelling in huts of driftwood and thatch, settlements with names like Congo Town developed into centers for hybrid culture and art. The beauty and seclusion of Andros east coast Fresh Creek even lured Rat Packers to this unspoiled Bahamanian hideaway during the sixties where I believe Sammy Davis actually owned a villa overlooking Young Sound. Today inhabitants enjoy art as a natural part of everyday life much like the people of Thailand and Carving, Batik and watertight baskets woven from Agave Sisal are just as important to natives income as their generational skills as seafarers, bone-fish anglers and lobster/ conch divers. Enough with the history lesson. I hope to offer sculpture and textiles from Andros this summer. For the moment lets check out Henry's carving and some expert Sisal weaving... Oh, Sisal can also be made into beautiful jewelry. |

Tutorial # 2 This mask was nicknamed early on "The Bilko Hijack Mask" in reference to it's two main design influences, an homage if you will to Bosko Hrnjak and Billy the Crud. Bosko got a kick out of it and i'm hoping Billy will too. Mexican fan Palm about 2ft - $80 Artists for this piece include HodadHank, Anakonia, Little Mandy and my even littler nephew Ogy. |

Tutorial # 4 "The MEZO-MARQ" You tell us. Is it... A whimsical missing link between Inca, Maya, Olmec and the island imagery of their decendants on the Marquesas, Raivaevae and Rapa Nui... OR A whimsical helmeted space traveler rising from a launch platform atop fire and swirling smoke bound for a voyage across the sea of night? Either way this mixed media effigy features faux jade inlays as well as golden toothed skulls and mysterious golden glyphs recreated from authentic Yucatan stelae. Glyphs depict an aboriginal American seafarer, a jaguar & seagull and bejeweled skull. Can stand upright or hang on a wall. Mexican Fan Palm, mixed media 2ft - SOLD
Artists for this piece include Erik The Red & Hodad Hank. [ Edited by: hodadhank 2009-07-19 14:24 ] |

My next trip down we shall definately have to discuss it over a virgin mai tai or two. Can you work a cash register and make proper change? BTW one of my new years resolutions along with giving up anger and cigars was to carve every single scrap of wood you sent me last year by new years eve 2010. Here's the start along with some of those action shots you dig. Ben, you are a Master and I merely a disciple. My students, in turn, are yours, and I pass along whatever knowledge you have shared with enduring gratitude. Mahalo nui loa. This little fella's going to England... A nice chunk of Benz Koa should make a cute hybrid Tang/Marq paperweight! My only three shipwreck teak Hawaiians w/ the two new Tangs (Fret not FreddieBallsomic, that biggest Hawaiian still has your name on it. I only just found and finished him!) Anakonia & R.C.D.P. Murf Anakonia's Aloha mask Surfboard guru Jim Ellinton try's his shaping skills on some mysterious "stinkwood". Have no idea what "stinkwood" is or why it smells so bad when freshly cut, but if trimmers drop 'em we'll carve 'em! More mystery wood. Anakonia begins a giant Hawaiian fork and knife. She's also a great Hula dancer. catch her next Hula Show, St Patty’s Day Eve, Monday 6pm, March 16th @ Kaisen Sushi in Oceanside. No Cover Charge. contact [email protected] for more details. The Munk takes a break from rolling in sawdust to play with her giant squeeky edamame. More fun soon... |

Happy Anniversary to us! Hard to believe we used to sell fresh off the presses copies of Otto's Tiki News and hot out of the kiln Bosko drunken Moais to those adventurous enough to comb the SoCal beaches looking for our legendary store even then... that Reggae superstar Eek-A-Mouse lived next door and used to sweep our sidewalks to keep them free of duppys while singing about us "Freak Factory biddy biddy-bing! Hodaddy-diddy-diddy-dong"...that Spielberg's Dreamworks would hire my dear departed dog Spot to be in the Cameron Crowe film Almost Famous... that the cast of MTV's REAL WORLD and Adam Sandler's buddies would reeeeaaally like our smoke shop... that you might bump into other Hollywood types like Michael Keaton, Faruza Balk or Luis Guzman hovering around the poster and tee shirt racks or that musicians like Ike Turner, The Thrills or the David Nelson Band have enjoyed rapping with us over the receding years... Tempus Fugit, eh? Peace, Love & Tikis. Anyhoo... 10th Anniversapaloosa Tees are being printed not 50 yards from me as I type this so if you're part of our history too and are interested in telling the world what a tiki freak you truely are then PM me pronto with your desired size. $20 + shipping to anywhere in the wide wide world. These limited first editions will be printed on a soft moss green 100% cotton tee featuring our famous full color Freaky Boutiki logo on the back and Mission Beach California over the heart where it belongs. Dig it. As modeled by The Reverend Captain Dread Pirate Murf (aka "Our Man In The Pacific"). Mahalo for the last ten years and mahalo nui loa in advance for the next ten.

Aloha all! Today's our official tenth so I wanted to thank those who requested comemorative tee's. They are set aside for you. Only a small amount will have 10th Anniversary printed on them and PM's get first served. I've been going though some turmoil in my personal life and have not been the busy poster of yore. Forgive. Nevertheless we've still got plenty of tiki goodies for you including a fresh baked shippment of MUNKTIKIs for our famous MUNKTANK on the way. We'll be representing Paul & Stuckie as the OFFICIAL MUNKTIKI DISTRIBUTOR for southern California @ Oasis so be sure to see what rarities the boys from Pacific Grove will unearth for your pleasure. Here's to the next ten. |

Anniversapaloosa Sale-abration (oy!) begins with a solemn moment by our in-store memorial to remember those we've lost along the way. The smoke carries our thoughts to the other side where they wait and watch. WYWH Ashley. You would have loved this. XO ...Now with the sound of the Mystery Gong (a mystery cause we've no idea where we got it!)... ...begins a traffic stopping hula show featuring Kailani, Freaky Boutiki manager Toni, and Samoan master carver Foi Mo's cute niece Jenny! Fun 4 all. Drew quite a crowd and almost caused a few fender benders... a treat for our neighbors, customers and passers by alike! Kailani! [ Edited by: hodadhank 2009-06-07 13:00 ] |
