Awesome contest at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz this weekend. So great to see all the familiar faces turn out for it. We had the honor of donating a couple boards for the annual raffle this year.
Loved this little mini with a sanded gloss finish. The grey looked like primer
Of course we had to donate a noserider too... it was a longboard contest after all
I didn't have a good enough camera to take pictures of the action. The waves were on and off all weekend, but you can jump over to the Santa Cruz Waves site to take a look

Love these guys. The Pedro Point Crew, always keeping it real, always a full cooler with beers stashed away somewhere. These guys know what the contests are all about: Community & good friends.
Fake tattoos of course
Good idea of the turn out... the awards & board raffle
Many thanks to Waylon (middle of the picture, black hat) for stepping up to the plate and being the contest director this year. An amazing job well done! Also big props to the rest of the Union crew who worked so hard. Scotty, Cathy, Paula, Leigh, Kevin, Stoner, Cindy.... just to name a few!
The contest after party. One of my favorite parts. That's a good chunk of the younger side of the Santa Cruz Longboard Scene all seated together with a few stragglers. :) -Carl
