Viva Las Vegas / by craig levers

Been a minute huh? I've been busy holidaying and haemorrhaging fun dockets. We went to Vegas BABY! And I have to say, as a first timer to Sin City, I fricken loved it. Maybe not loved enough to bother going back, but I reckon it's a bucket list thing, a been there, done that, don't need to go again.

It wasn't a photo mission. The gorgeous Ange's godson was tying the knot in Oregon, so on the way to the wedding we took the detour. I had an agenda, to make the pilgrimage to the newly opened Punk Rock Museum in Vegas, three storeys of well curated curios dating back past 1977. It was amazing; the old concert flyers, set lists, outfits and, well, everything about it.

Then the roadie, through Nevada up to Bend, Oregon Area 51 Yesss!!!!!!

Ghost towns and houses of disrepute ...and quite possibly the most average Hotel eva \/ \/ \/

Went to Virginia City... just like the cowboy movies.

It wasn't a photo trip. The wedding was sick, congrats to Dyl and Tiana.

AND DEEEEN….

Stoked to score the billboard in front of Sunshine Brewery in Gizzy of the legend Saffi Vette from our Tahiti Trip in May.

...and I got...wait WE got a banner at the HLNA skate park in Tokyo of Shino too. Have you seen the story about the Tahiti trip? It's up on Surfline HERE

This week there was a quick strike down the Coromandel, Ace Buchan, Micro Hall were there too being hosted by Billy Stairmand. The shot above of Ace was used in a Surfline swell report, more on this strike coming soon.

In the meantime, have an awesome Matariki long weekend.
