So if you’ve all been wondering why I’ve been missing in action online lately and not updating my blog, it’s because Greyson and I were at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Summer Olympics, you say? Yeah. And not as tourists or spectators. Nope. Not at all. Instead, we were there representing the good ole U.S. of freaking A as badminton doubles partners. We were there to compete, baby.

And we fucking killed it.

This whole mission has been a covert operation and pretty much on the down low. But that’s because I had to really get in shape - both mentally and physically - to get my game going. I trained for months nonstop and waged war against all nuances and vices. I didn’t want any distractions. I wanted this so bad. And the fact that Greyson and I demolished all of our worldly competition proves to me that all the blood, sweat and tears was well worth it.

Check out some of our pics from the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Red, white, and blue for the gold.

Hell yeah.

Greyson made the South Koreans cry.

I must admit, my backhand was beautiful.

This is for you, America!

Am I bragging if I say that I think my kid is amazing? New video clip of Greyson and what he did during his Summer Vacation.

Art Brewer usually lets his photos do the talking. So it’s a rare circumstance to capture the legendary surf & lifestyle lensman in front of the camera himself.

Part 1 of this D-Side interview centers around Art talking about his association with Bunker Spreckels, the prodigal stepson of Clark Gable and heir to the Spreckels Sugar dynasty. Two years later, Spreckels would be dead, but Art was along for the ride…and what a ride it was.

Check it out.
