REBEL8

Decided to bounce from Cartagena. It’s been fun, but I gotta keep it moving! Booked a trip to Islas Del Rosario which is about an hour off the coast of Cartagena. Got to the docks and saw this bad boy. Whoah.

Fandango.

A long, long way from Alcatraz.

As soon as I landed the little homie came out to kick it.

And once again, I’m the only one at an awesome resort.

Aguila. Otra vez y vez.

Red snapper fried whole. So tasty I wanna take a bite out my laptop.

Skrimp.

Los lonely boy.

But I am not going complain. This is perfect.

So is my private suite.

Island life ain’t a bad life.

The REBEL8 x Rancid lookbook is here! Click here to view in larger format or just scroll down to see it in its entirety. Photography by Dylan Bartolini-Volk. Shot in Long Beach, CA. Our friend Skinhead Rob, from the Transplants and now most notably Death March, modeled for us. Mandee Guns makes a small cameo as well in the shoot. This collab is a real dream come true for me. Stoked and honored to have worked alongside the living legends, Rancid. Still can’t believe it happened! If you haven’t copped the collab, don’t wait. When it’s gone, it’s gone. Click here to spend that money and look better than the rest.

Merman.

Peruvian ceviche in Colombia.

Take a very good look at this. Remember it. Do not order this.

The wall that surrounds Cartagena is made of coral.

Pretty dope.

Canons that are no longer functional still remain, but were once active and used to protect Cartagena from pirates.

The view from on top of the wall looking outside of the old city.

Locked up abroad.

For no good reason.

Photocopies. Roger that. But not really sure where.

MasterCard mojito.

A very famous fat chick.

La-la-ladies-ladies.

Little bakeries everywhere make finding a snack insanely easy.

Had to save room though for one of the greatest bites I’ve ever had. Como se dice, off the chain mang.

This is as fun as it looks.

Good morning Cartagena! You beautiful, beautiful city.

Turista.

Took a visit to the museum and location where the Spanish did some really fucked up shit.

Punk collar.

Many people died in this room. Real creepy.

You gotta stretch.

Keep ya head up.

Off with her head!

Kool hanging.

Enough history. I’m about to die up in here too. There ain’t no air conditioning in this bitch. It’s hot in here.

Embrassingly hot.

Going topless for the rest of this trip. You are welcome Cartagena.

Spent quite a few hours on my roof today. Was stoked my little S95 got this shot.

Pools on roofs are so much better than pools not on roofs.

I love this skylight.

Art.

Eating outdoors at night with no heat lamp is rad. It never happens in SF.

And I’m really feeling Aguila. I’ve been drinking these steady.

Cartagena is ruling. You should be out here with me.

Chillin’ in Cartagena, Colombia. I’ve yet to travel to Cuba, but I am told it shares a lot of similar qualities. I don’t think I even need to comment individually. Just peep the photos.

Every time I stay in a new hotel room I always give myself a little tour. I am a creature of habit and I like to adjust as fast as possible to a different environment. Here are a some shots of my new digs for the next week. Spending a few days here.

Very excited for the next Agenda tradeshow! We will be debuting Spring 2013 to wholesale buyers. Our booth is appointment only. Don’t sleep! Hit up Doug.

Happy Monday! There are some new items available in our online store. First up are the new skateboards. In continuing with our R8SC (REBEL8 Skate Core) and REBEL8 Skateboards releases, we present a new zinger shape and a very rideable simple logo deck. Second up are the Standard Issue leather belts releasing for Fall ‘12. I think it’ll be the last belt you ever own. Well worth every dollar. Trust. And lastly, the Olympics jersey, and tanks. I hope you like our vintage-inspired 80s Olympic theme. I’ve been rockin’ this tank daily!

Also, via our REBEL8ers Newsletter, this is what I wrote a few days ago:

“Over the years our warehouse has seemingly gotten much smaller. With more REBEL8 workers, and a lot more product making it’s way in and then back out to you, I can honestly say we are officially out of room. I can’t get our next season in until I clear out space. Seriously. I apologize for no fancy graphics or promo fliers or anything like that. All I got are the facts and these few words: JULY 20th-27th Online SALE @ http://REBEL8.com. Check the site thoroughly, as it’s not just Spring ‘12 on sale. All seasons before that and most online exclusives are 30-50% OFF! Hit every section before checking out!”

Hope you had a great weekend! Please enjoy the latest releases and some old bangers you can now grab for cheap. I’m off to Colombia. Peace out!
