Going to have a little party at the surf shop on Friday night 6 to 9 p.m. at the Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach. John Carpenter will be there to play guitar and working on getting Da Kines to supply some food. It is to celebrate team rider Tommy Evans winning the Jr. Longboard East Coast Championship. Big deal and the second time he has won in longboard. So come on by and say hey to Tommy and listen to some good tunes…

Big congrats out to Neilson team rider Tommy Evans. He took 1st in the ESA Jr. Mens Lgonboard at Easterns!
In keeping with the running themes of the posts lately, here’s another good place to grab some post-surf eats in Cocoa Beach.
Jim and Doreen, the originals from back in the day of Cocoa Beach surf reports with Boardheads2.com, have opened a Deli in Downtown Cocoa Beach. Fittingly enough, it’s named Boardheads Deli. Great food at a great price and you can talk surf while you wait.
Support the locals.

Neilson longboard in action earlier this month in some of the plentiful offshore waves we had.
If you have an air-cooled VW, chances are you know Mark. He’s the local VW guru and as you can see he knows his way around a longboard as well.
Our Northern operative sent in these spy photos of Ras riding his 6′6″ Biofoam Neilson last winter up in Nova Scotia -

Judging by the hood and gloves, the water temp in this photo is likely somewhere in the low 40’s/high 30’s. Ponder that for a bit the next time you paddle out in baggies.
Let’s go for the green board trifecta with this one, then we’ll move on. Team rider Lee Roth at the NKF contest on his green fade performance squash.
Make sure and always color co-ordinate your tail pads with your boards airbrush. People notice these things… 
Well, since teamrider Lee grabbed up the last board we posted, figured we better put up something else. In keeping with the green theme, both figuratively and literally, here’s a 6′2″ Flying Floatey Fish made with a Biofoam soy-based blank -

Cafe Surfinista on 1st Street North in Cocoa Beach is a great place for an after-surf meal. They just opened not too long ago but already seem to be getting a solid following among the locals. Leans heavily towards the health-food side of things, with vegan items on the menu and mostly organic ingredients. Nice change of pace and reasonable prices.

Are we looking at Round 3 of waves with Erika or is she gonna be a washout?
She’s hugging the Bahamas kinda close for our swell window right now.
