My Orbit with Grant Noble
Grant Noble again proves our theory that cool people (especially from Costa Mesa, CA) who rip at everything, usually surround themselves with cool stuff. It’s scientific fact at this point. Below is the quiver of stuff you need in your orbit to get through a day in life of an “authentic” Southern Californian surfer/skater/shaper/motorcyle-riding/bodysurfing/sticker-making-dog-loving dude who happens to have a mountain bike too.
Andrew Daughtery’s Sticker Machine
“My good friend Andrew is a Rolland Technician that has access to industrial sticker printing machines. Any leftover money in my Venmo goes out to funny stickers of my friends only to be plastered around the city. There is nothing better than getting gas and seeing your friends face on the pump. Sorry in advance.”
Toyota Tacoma
“I had a sprinter before — an old one but the thing kept breaking down so I traded it in for a brand new Tacoma and a Boston Whaler. I shouldn’t have gotten the boat [laughs].”
TREK SLASH (R-DOG EDITION)
$3,500+
Trek
“ I never thought I’d ever be into riding MTBs. I dislocated my knee surfing last year and was riding gravel bikes to strengthen the muscles around the patella, doing fun trips bike-packing on Catalina. It was all rehab. My friend Taylor said he wanted to shoot a Trek Bicycle vid with Ryan Howard and Cam McCaul. After the shoot, R-Dog sent me a loaner bike and the MTB has been in My Orbit on a weekly basis.”
TATER THE BOAT
“The best, most fried boat you can fish on out of Newport. Captain Harry specializes in busted knots and missed gaff shots. But it’s always a good time on the water. ”
SKIL 100
“The best orbiting tool in a surfboard factory. Guaranteed to cut straight. Most of the time.”
BLACK LABEL SKATEBOARD (JAKE REUTER MODEL)
Joker’s Skate Shop
“I only go to Jokers Skate Shop in HB. Jake secretly started giving me deals on boards but the crew over there have saved my skating days. I keep on pushing thanks to them.”

MY DOG “SKIP”
“My dog’s not in My Orbit, I’m in his.”
YUCCA FINS
“I bodysurf when there’s sub-par waves and Moto when it’s not [breaking]. Sean Starky the owner is me in another life. Yucca supports my lifeline of rides to and from the desert and keeps my feet warm when I’m drowning at the Wedge.”
BELL MOTO-10 HELMET (CUSTOM PAINTED)
$869.95
“Looked at this one the other day. A couple good friends ponied up some cash and got a noggin’-saver for me as a wedding gift. They got my dream helmet, and to spice it up they got it one-of-a-kind custom paint [job]. Love you guys. ”
OLYMPUS STYLUS MINI
“My travel film camera. Fixed lens, shoots when you need it too — my go-to point and shoot.”
