Seems like today, Veteran’s Day is a good time to explain the Wall in the shop. We get alot of comments from people that walk in , asking about our service, or why the patches , pictures, coins etc…. are up on the wall behind us….. Story is, years ago, during the first Iraq, we had a Marine, Clint, (picture below) get in touch with us to order a custom Linden, he wanted it to be ready to pick up when he was back from his deployment. We got it made, a custom “camo” Linden…… he left us his hat (cover) when he left, and so I just hung it up on the clock, where it is still today. Well, that started it….. next, a kid from the Army, back, left his patch…. so, I put it up on the wall….. then, a couple other people came in, and left their patches….. then it started to take on a life of it’s own…. when we opened the new building, of course we moved everything over. Then, the cops and fireman started to ask why we didn’t have any of their stuff up there…… so, they started leaving patches hats, and even a plaque from Beaverton PD……. and , it continues to grow….. a couple years ago, some Coasties came in, wondered why we didn’t have any of their stuff up there…..same answer….. because no one brought anything in….. so, a couple of them somehow “found” a flag off their boat, and brought it in…….. now, we get coins, rank, other “stuff” from all branches of the military, and cops and fireman from all over the country. We are proud to have this wall up….. some may not understand such a thing in a surf shop……… but, we get a ton of comments, and we are proud of each patch up on the wall! And….. we always welcome any new additions!!!!

So….. get down here for the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, as all the galleries will be showing new stuff, and will be offering fun times!! You can also stop by and see some of the New Linden’s we just got in stock……. the agave stringer one is absolutely beautiful!!!
On my Sunday rant, got a nice note from Brooks, who builds banjos……… thought I would pass it on!! Maybe he wants to come down and play for a couple hours?????? Hi Mark,
I really liked your rant yesterday and that is one of the reasons I go to your shop. Flounder is the other reason, even though I don’t even know the dude. Yall keep it real, that’s the bottom line for me.
I’m proud to say that my banjos are handmade right here in Portland. I even make most of the metal parts myself, so they are 98% handmade in America. I have to use ebony from India for the fingerboards and the goat skin heads come from Pakistan. I’m not super thrilled about the ebony aspect, but I don’t mind supporting goat herders from Pakistan. I’ve been in business for 12 years now making my banjos, that feels good. It means that at least the music community values a handmade craft.

I don’t normally send these out, but this one from this asshole, who didn’t have the balls to put our his / her real address apparently thinks I am the one who posted some pics on Surfline….. In case your lazy ass reads this , you better get your facts straight before you start making threats…..( and please stop by the shop to collect on those threats) I did not post any pics from S or Central Oregon on Surfline…. there is some famous or infamous photographer with a similar name, I think it is a Mark Mcginnis…. or something like that….. as a point of reference, I don’t even look at or subscribe to Surfline….so, I look forward to a visit from your punkass……. to those receiving this email, please feel free to pass it along… hopefully this chickenshit will read it. mark mekenas cbsurf@cannonbeachsurf.com www.cannonbeachsurf.com | www.bfdsurf.com 503-436-0475
