At this point I feel good about saying that I have educated myself about Mini Simmons Surfboards. I started this book when I first recognized that these surfboards were special. At first I just posted pics but then I realized that this board was part of something revolutionary. It doesn't happen often, you know, in this thruster world. Don't get me wrong, I don't always ride a Mini-I ride the board that is right for the wave, you dig? Look, we all want the maximum experience from our surf session and at some point you realize that your thruster just won't cut it. Longboards you say, nah. Ahhhh . . . the Mini gets you through those sections where the thruster would die without the 5 extra feet. Longer waves equates to longer love. BUT, and this is a big BUT for me, you still need enough design in the board to make it fly down the magic carpet. And in my case damn it, I want to hit that lip and snap an off the top where appropriate . . . just because I am riding a Mini doesn't mean I don't want those things. Right? So, I am just saying, the right Mini Simmons surfboard can do these things . . . I know, because I shape them. What doesn't work for me . . .too much nosetoo much rockernot enough rockertoo longtoo shorttoo thicktoo wideYea, I know you are saying, WTF. But look, each board is right for the right reasons. That is why I love this site, because who an I to say that the no-glass plywood Mini Simmons wouldn't work? In fact, I love it that this guy shaped it. Or the Twinzer Mini-I fucking love twinzers. But on a Mini, I don't know? So there it is, we all got our preferences. Fuck the mags . . . the right board is the right board. Go shape it. Go ride it. Peace.

This illustrated history portrays one of England’s finest counties. It provides a nostalgic look at Durham’s past and highlights the special character of some of its most important historic sites. The photographs are taken from the Historic England Archive, a unique collection of over 12 million photographs, drawings, plans and documents covering England’s archaeology, architecture, social and local history. Pictures date from the earliest days of photography to the present and cover subjects from Bronze Age burials and medieval churches to cinemas and seaside resorts. Once a region of mining and heavy industry, the county borders the rivers Tyne and Wear to the north-east, Northumberland to the north, Cumbria to the west and North Yorkshire to the south and, historically, included Gateshead and Sunderland. Today, one of the main industries is tourism, thanks to the cathedral city of Durham – a remarkable place, a priceless historical gem and, deservedly, a World Heritage Site. Historic England: Durham shows the county as it once was, from Durham City’s narrow medieval streets to the industrial landscapes of South Tyneside and Wearside. This book will help you discover the remarkable history of this proud region.

'Secret City of Durham' goes behind the facades of the familiar to discover the lesser-known aspects of the townâ??s fascinating past.

A guided tour of the historic town of Hebburn, showing how the areas you know and love have transformed over the centuries.

Some of the 'gems' described are well known, even iconic, others much less so. They include industrial marvels and celebrations of civic prosperity - prominent landmarks in town and cityscape. Many more are harder to find, tucked away down side streets or rural backwaters. These are the true 'hidden gems',

Of all the counties, Durham is perhaps the most surprising. Its heavily populated cities and towns give way to apparently deserted expanses of moorland, romantic clifftop vistas and wooded ravines and in the midst of this bewildering diversity are objects of great architectural and historical merit. Yet amongst these more well known features are a host of lesser known, more obscure and unusual objects which are waiting to be discovered. Curiosities of County Durham is enthusiastically devoted to identifying these lesser known features. As far as possible its intention is to provide the reader with accurate site references and approximate mileages to the locations, which begin at Durham City and then circulate outwards around the county. This enchanting book features a full range of interesting curiosities; all of which have their own particular charm and significance which should be preserved to interest and delight visitors to the area as well as locals.
