The VW Bus: The Respectable Man's Outdoor Van

It all seemed so perfect in the VW executive suite.  The new VW bus would be the people's utility van; an economical yet sporty way for white collar urban types to get away from the city on the weekends for some quality time with the fam.  Pop the top, fire-up the hot plate and take in the great out-doors.  But somehow, it all went wonderfully wrong.

Easy, Like Sunday Morning....

Had a great Sunday morning surf with Champ Kristy and world-traveler Cailin, our friend from New Jersey. Super fun knee high crumblers for our longboarding pleasure. We dominated the peak until the wind came up. Posted some shots in the Siren Gallery. Check it out!

Siren Abstract-Art Hot Tamales in Stock

Stop by the Siren Shop to check out the new Hot Tamales in stock now. We're doing a run of boards featuring beautiful hand-poured resin art like on the board pictured below:


The Siren Hot Tamale Model is our most versatile longboard. Small surf, big surf, mushy surf; the Hot Tamale can make the most of all conditions.

A 2+1 fin setup and slight "V" bottom make the Hot Tamale surf short from the tail while subtle nose concave and soft rails make noseriding a breeze, even in big surf. A progressive rocker makes it shine in beach-break surf, and a narrow, racy tail allows for snappy vertical maneuvers.

Be sure to check one out before this run is sold out.
