After miles and miles of open road and every bloody song on my ipod we made it to San Diego

First stop was Forbes and Cooper's new hoose.......both lads live near the boardwalk in the surf ghetto.....their apartment was rad....Cooper is Jess's wee brother........

Jess had never been to California before and was hyped to see how her brother had been living.......

Jess hung with the young bucks while i got picked up by this ol pal

Bud socks and bud sox..........This post is 48hrs in the life of Hoisington in San Diego...........(he doesn't surf every day)

He had this trippy skull art on his toilet door

Hon Bon Jovi

Honjo battles Slash in a solo showdown

This is his garage.......kowabunga...surfs up!!!

I found the San Diego Mels diner.....it was deserted.........

Jerk Johnson's bus

While Honjo was at work i did my laundry at the crustiest place ive ever seen.....you had to guard yer clothes cos all these gutter punks and outdoorsmans would pick through yer dirty skegs........while i was waiting for my skiddy drawers to get clean ....Neil Heddings and Peter Hewitt came in.......i was way too feardie to say hello.....i sat there in awe as Heddings dried his dickies......wish i got pics

Laundrymats are bollocks but this mag did make me laugh......when you closed the mag up..... Morriseys sad-sac wee face got pressed against Gay Hanks hairy bellybutton......actually it fit right onto his lips........hahaha sucka!!!!!

San Diego was deserted the whole time i was there.......even the sun had gone away........Ocean Beach park

There wasnt even one bum under the bridge

Vintage vanny

This tosser was sound asleep and sea gulls were peckin at all his belongings

Hamlets......when i lived in Pacific Beach i'd come here and skate every day......

Nae people .......nae sun .......nae birds......nae shite

Plus i stole a bmx from Honjos hoose....felt like Elliot in ET

Led Zeppilin reunion with Bonham

Bro-ller coaster

I put this in the same bracket as skim boarding........load of pish!!!

Noah.....Honjo's roomate recently bought this wee gem

While Honjo and his lady Sarah have been busy workin on this baby

Wrenchin.......this car sounded so evil .......what a monster

Does about 2 miles to the gallon but so bloody worth it

This is Clem .......the dug of the hoose

Hey bud

On the way to the skate spot .......Leyland popped in to say hello........

Aye the kid's still got stunts........

His Willy Santos board nailed him in the wooden knee

Yup

Noah killing the TFL super park

Back in the saddle

Speaking of saddles........that night there was a street fair downtown.......

Look how nervous Cranstons finest is when face to face with the llamas.....

This total arsehole was selling decks that light up. Each board had built in fairy lights.......what an idiotic idea........fuckin eejit.....

The street market was fun ..then i saw it........i didnt know what to make of it at first......he looked like a neanderthall man but tweaking out mega hard on meth , acid or some other spell.....he was insane

It was hard to take pics of him...he was spazzing out so much.........A pretty shitey band played 80s hits and it sent this guy into total mindbenders.........His skin was like leather and his eyes were completely black.........i named him Iggy's Pops........cos he looked so weathered and drugged out

Then it happened.......it the middle of "My Sharona" homie collapsed and i thought that was it..........i was going to witness my first overdose at a farmers market........he twitched and convulsed and all i did was take a photo.......i didnt really know what else to do........he looked like he was ready anyways........after a long 45 seconds he came too and seemed to get it together......enough to sit up and ride out the chorus while the drugs wore off........he actually looked bummed that hed made it

While all this was going on......people were dancing away........maybe Iggy's Pops does this routine every friday night......fuct if i know

This wee radge robbed me of $2.....told me the shitest jokes then asked for loot......look how stoked he is he got my money

Fish Tacos and pints of Hoisington

Weird stores here

This pick up was in great shape

Everyone has incredible rides here.....noah's bird's yellow malibu

Skate Mafia backyard jewel

After 2 days with Edgewoods most wanted i met up with Jess .....Cooper and Forbes.......

San Diego was good times and it was great to see the crew.......the sun didnt show the entire time but it was a blast to see my old stomping grounds........

While i was in San Diego ...somehow i didnt get one pic of Sarah......so heres a champion shot of the pair in Rhode Island
