Evacuations Force Thousands to Flee Their Homes
A fire that began as a small brushfire along the top of West Camino Cielo on July 1st has now charred more than 10,000 acres from the San Marcos Pass area to the East and Winchester Canyon to the West. On Sunday, Governor Arnold Schwarznegger who made the so-called "Gap Fire" the state's top priority visited Santa Barbara to survey the damage and to discuss strategy with the thousands of firefighters from all over the West. Due to the amazing efforts of ground and air crews, damage has been held to a minimum with only 4 structures destroyed. Supression cost to date is $7.6 million, cause of fire is still under investigation. Our gratitude to the dedication of the firefighters...
Reward for "Lost" Surfboard
Rincon Surf Blog reader "Tom" writes, "My daughter's surf board was taken out out of a garage in Isla Vista sometime between 6/16/08 and 6/24/08. It's about a 7'6" Mike Richardson board, dove tail , with a tri-fin. It was in a white and black "Da Kine" bag with her name, address clearly printed on the bag, with a pair of size 7 booties inside. It was really shitty thing to do. Sentimental value. 100$ reward, call Tom (619) 997 2470 or tomalev@cox.net. Thank you

Timberline Surfboards Announced
Timberline Surfboards are proud to announce a new custom wood board label out of SB. Ryan Lovelace of Point Concept Surfboards and Raphael Wolfe of Wolfe surfboards have joined up under this name to build these extremely durable, beautiful and light wood skinned boards. Utilizing an eco-friendly foam core sheeted with 1/8" of Paulownia wood, these boards are as beautiful to look at as they are amazing to ride. Paulownia is touted as a highly renewable wood, growing to a height of up to 30 feet in just two to three years on average. Timberline boards have solid wood rails which act as a perimeter stringer system, allowing a better flex pattern than your average board. For more information be sure to check out their new website at www.TimberlineSurf.com.
