Surfindian Showcases Globally Exotic Art

The Pacific Beach Surfindian Boutique is Celebrating Yet Another Chapter in its History with a New Show on Third World Exotic and Global Photography

SAN DIEGO, CA – On June 13, 2009, Pacific Beach is bursting with events, starting the day down at Tourmaline Surf Park for the 11th Annual Summer Longboard Classic and wrapping up the night with a Party for the new show at Surfindian. After a day of (hopefully) epic surf and sunshine, the Surfindian Boutique on Mission Blvd. is holding a special party for its new show, featuring surfboards by Third World Exotic and photography by Lee Peterson.

Third World Exotic, a surfboard company by shaper Larry Mabile, is a storehouse of classic shapes and emphasizes old-school handwork. It offers myriad board designs, ranging from fish and bonzers to fun boards and longboards, all of which have a masterful combination of rails, rockers, and fin-setups. Mabile is an avid surfer, who can regularly be found at PB point and whose effortless surf style reflects his classic board design. The match of expertise both in surfing and shaping, plus his personal history at Pacific Beach sharing waves shoulder-to-shoulder with Skip Frye, makes Mabile a rare breed in the world of surfing, landing a new twist of semantics in the “exotic” of Third World Exotic.

Global, one of many photographic collections by Lee Peterson, transports the beholder into a 360-degree spin around all sorts of themes and landscapes, with a particular focus on waves, piers, and beach items. As the flyer on Peterson states, “Lee’s art is very unique in that he uses optics or Photoshop techniques or both to achieve the desired results he envisions for his creations,” rendering imagery that “pulls the panoramas into a global dimension requiring your mind to search for its own meanings.” Peterson has received several awards, including second place for The Surrealism Contest in Rome, Italy and the first pace in the Abstract Imagery Contest by The American Society of Media Photographers. Both Peterson and Mabile’s work, topped with Chris Rule’s good cheer and the presence of the shop’s regulars, make this a promising night.

I have that same shirt Chris is wearing. It's the coolest shirt: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!" Unfortunately I'll be out w/ out of town friends so I can't make this even. I'm sure it'll be awesome, everyone have fun!
