With 5 months to go, the fifth biennial Hawaiian Islands Vintage Surf Auction, presented by Quiksilver Premium, is set to raise the bar on international surf auctions once again when it returns to the Blaisdell Center, Honolulu, on July 17 & 18. Over the past four auctions more than $1,500,000 of the finest vintage surfboards and surf memorbilia have changed hands and over $75,000 has been donated to various charitable causes and foundations. This year's auction is already shaping up to be the biggest and best yet. As has become the tradition, veteran surfboard designers, shapers and manufactures will be in attendance, including Matt Kivlin, Joe Quigg, Greg Noll, Dick Brewer, Ben Aipa, Bing Copeland, and Ole Olson, amongst a host of others. Surf stars of the '60s the likes of Jock Sutherland, Fred Hemmings, Ricky Grigg, Joey Cabell, Buffalo Keaulana and many others will also be on hand. They will be joined by short board pioneers of the '70s & '80s: Pipeline Masters Gerry Lopez, Rory Russell and Jeff Crawford; as well as world champions Mark Richards, Peter Townend, Shaun Tomson, and Tom Carroll, all of whom will have personalized surfboards from the various eras. They will be joined by revered Hawaii surfers Larry Bertlemann, Barry Kanaiaupuni and Bobby Owens. Never-before-seen surfboards have been unearthed, including an ancient 1850 breadfruit board, turn-of-the-century redwood planks, hollow paddle boards, design-changing early wood/fiberglass prototypes, big wave "guns" of the '60s, and pro boards of the '70s and '80s. Along with the treasure trove of surfboards will be an eclectic selection of Hawaiian-theme artwork, surf contest items, unique island-influenced surf memorabilia, some of the first images of surfing ever depicted in print from Missonary times, off-beat surf a

I was surfing the World Wide Web and found an amazing fact that "Over 80% of millionaire drive used cars". Among this 80% of used cars, most of the cars belong to Japan Automakers and I guess this percentage counted as 70 to 72. It means Japanese used vehicles are considered as one of the best sources of economical growth of the world.

June 26, 2013 8:00 am Article Once upon a time muscle cars were about putting the largest torque-wrenching motor inside of a small or midsized car-style and comfort be damned! Power was everything. Chances are that car didn't have all of the niceties that we now take for granted.

The Hyundai Veloster Concept, which premiered at the Los Angeles Auto Show back in 2007, will provide the base for a new "Eco-Sport" car to be released in the 2011 or 2012 model year. Hyundai representatives say that about 70-80% of the concept's styling and architecture will be incorporated into the new model, which promises quick, nimble driving with 40+ mpg.

GM share of U.S. market is now 18.7% which is down from 20% in 2008. So, to give tough fight to its biggest competitor Ford- GM is trying to promote and focus solely on its cars and trucks and no longer rely on "celebrities and lawn mowers". Considering that 70% of GM sale originates from Chevrolet, it's quite obvious to make plans to boost the sales and re gain the market share.

From the battlefields of World War II to the sand dunes of California, perhaps no other vehicle brand is as entwined with American history as Jeep. It's fitting, then, that Chrysler decided to celebrate the iconic brand's heritage at this week's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, unveiling special 70th Anniversary editions of new Jeep vehicles.

My name is David Elliott, and I am the owner & founder of Davesurf Productions, LLC. Here's the story about how all of this started, where it is going and how we can help you. I started working with websites in 1995 and around the end of 1998 I started a small web design company. I was serving in the US Air Force, had a brand new baby girl and living in Hawaii. The internet was brand new to us and I was hooked. I taught myself how to design websites from scratch by braking down other websites. I was an Art student in High School and College. Web design quickly became my new art medium. When I started the web design company in Hawaii, I was surfing almost every day. I wanted to hang out with the Surf Industry people, so I formed a plan to build and manage the pro surfers and surf shop owner's websites. My plan worked. I built the Hawaiian Surf Surf Shop site for Fred Patacchia Sr., Classic Surfboards Surf Shop for Ginny and Cippy and the client list grew from there. Building websites for the surf industry helped me meet Randy Rarick, the renown surfboard shaper and Director of the Triple Crown of Surfing. We have been designing theHawaiianSurfAuction.com website for over a decade. It is a bi-annual live auction event in Honolulu with live online bidding and live video feed. It grossed over $850,000 in sales last year. All of this was done while I was on active duty in the Air Force, occasionally deploying to far away lands and taking care of a young family. I also started a small eco car care product company, called Freedom Waterless Car Wash, in 1999. I used the web design/ web marketing to promote it world-wide and it became (and still is) very successful. I still operate it today. Many years later, I was divorced, re-married, had 2 more children, retired from the Air Force, and became successful running my eco car care product business. We did it by continually building our vast website network and built dozens of websites for clients. I keep up on the

Nobody likes to feel ignored, least of all a muscle car. Even so, this awesome '70 Chevelle sat for seven long years neglected in somebody's garage. The previous owner took some half-hearted steps at restoration, but both the bodywork and engine needed some serious attention, so he basically threw up his hands.

June 7, 2013 8:00 am Article We lived through the '70s. It was a weird time for many things (i.e.: bell bottom pants) and customizers were doing wild things, many for just plain odd reasons. But many good ideas (i.e.: hot pants) from then remain good today.
