WRESTLING ELEPHANTS

HOWLS OF STOKE

Christian Fletcher, Volcom house, 2003 or 4 or 5. This was one of those majestic afternoons where Pipe and Off the Wall were serving up delicious offshore barrels, where Tudors and Fullers and Healeys disappear for protracted seconds behind mother-of-pearl curtains, where howls of stoke echo clear across Kam Highway. Christian couldn't get out there fast enough.
