Jon Steel Shoots at MDC

Photographer Jon Steel called me afte the cove broke last week to ask about one of my riders. I expected it to be Justin, Zach, or Morgan, but to my surprise, he wanted to shoot a portrait of Cody. You might remember Cody, he lost his leg last year and we had a fundraiser for him to get an artifical leg so he could get back to work. We set the shoot up that afternoon. Jon is a pro all the ay and made Cody feel very comfortable. Here are some shots I took while they worked. It was an amazing shoot. Jon is out latest R.P.Q. rider. We're stoked!!

MDC and john Olvey Art Collaborate on Board Art Series

MDC and John Olvery Art have teamed up once again to create 2 more beautiful  art pieces. Glassing and polishing these works is a very meticulous, nerve racking process, but when the artist and shaper/glasser come together the results can be truly amazing. The first shot is the very first one we did, the second is the one built for the SPI Surfrider Chapter and will be raffled off. The third shot is not an MDC shape, however it was finished out by MDC. MDC will now be carrying prints by John Olvey. We'll post as soon as they come in. Enjoy!
