To the uninitiated, the scene on a recent morning along the St. Lawrence River in Montreal might have inspired confusion. Behind the striking modular apartment complex known as Habitat 67, a crowd of surfers slipped into wet suits and waxed up their boards, 500 miles from the nearest ocean beach.

They were preparing to surf a standing river wave in the St. Lawrence, where high-velocity water roars over a steep river-bottom depression, pitches back and upward, and creates a waist-to-overhead breaker. Surfers paddle into it or swing out by rope to catch the green-faced wedge, rewarded by a seemingly endless ride. Read More…

‘93 til Infinity is hands down one of the greatest hip-hop albums to come out during the early 90’s.  The group made of of A-Plus, Phesto, Tajai and Opio were in my mind (along with Pharcyde) going to be the west coast answer to A Tribe Called Quest.  Even though they didn’t make as big commercially they had 4 albums (not including the great Hieroglyphics album with Jay-Biz, Pep Love, Casual and Del the Funkee Homosapien) you do not want to pass up this show!!!!
