Artist Brian Bent

Some people might consider Mr. Brian Bent's lifestyle extreme, an anachronism perhaps. But we have a feeling that he'd be OK with that. You see, when Brian purchased this 1927 Oakland he built the clutch pack himself. And while it had a Pontiac engine mounted in the chassis, he decided to move it forward.

If you've ever been to tourmaline beach in san diego, or, as the locals call it, "old mans", there's a chance you've seen a guy on a huge longboard called a "Kook Box" surfing in a sweater and a sailor hat. That's Brian Bent, a local surfer with a unique style.
