Some good mail has shown up on the SBC front porch over the last few weeks. Here's a sampling, from top to bottom: the new Patagonia book, 180 South; the new Clark Little book; a film about surfing in every province across Canada; and the new Broken Social Scene album, Forgiveness Rock Record, which has kept us going through a few late nights this week. Look for reviews of all of them—except the BSS record, which Pitchfork was more articulate about than we could've been—on the site in the next little while.

As you may have noticed, sbcsurf.com is a slicker looking place as of today. We've done some redesigning and reorganizing, and we'll be updating the site more frequently from now on. It's not easy keeping up with the pace of the Internets, but we hope that you'll find the new sbcsurf.com to be a reliable part of your online routine. Be sure to bookmark the site, and sign up to follow us on Twitter and Facebook if you haven't already. Stay tuned for tons of good Canadian surf content to come. And in the meantime you can go do something else fun and character-building, like watching Bear vs. Cougar fights on YouTube.
