A WORD FROM SAUCE



Its been a minute since we've had a chance to write an update on the
latest happenings here at Special Sauce. With the holiday crunch in full
swing, our fam and staff have been dedicated to holding it down at both of
our locations in Bayshore.

Now, for those that woke up late- Yes, the dissemination of information is
true. With close to nearly a 15 year savory recipe, our gastronomers have
concocted our third master creation with the opening of our newest store
front in the heart of Huntington Village. Since opening our doors three
and a half weeks ago, its safe to say that most of us have been left in a
haze. While change is always a motivating challenge, the support of our
existing and growing clientele make for a new chapter in the Sauce
movement.

Located an hour by train outside of NYC, the 3,600 sq.ft. space maintains
its rooted foundation in street, skate, and snow. Emphasis will be placed
on more limited and emerging street wear brands, with a growing selection
included for the ladies. In the spring of 2009, our second floor will open
up to a loft style space to showcase a variety of rotating artist showings, brand collaborations, pre-line viewing, and additional office
space.

In the meantime...

If you haven't cruised over to Huntington, no worries. Here are a few
images that will peak your curiosity . There's still much work to be done,
but we're off to a bright start. Frequent our website and blog for the latest scoop on brand arrivals and events, including our grand opening party to follow after the new year. You won't want to miss this event! Be sure to add yourself to our Myspace. You'll also soon be seeing us on Facebook in the new year as well.

OSLO OPERA HOUSE IS A STEALTH SKATE PARK



If you haven't heard already- word has been spreading worldwide since Wired dropped the news of the reported stealth skate park in the disguise of an opera house. We know what your thinking- Whaaat, is this for real? Indeed, its true. Based in Oslo Norway, the newly built marvel was brought to life by the the international architecture firm Snøhetta. The firm sourced and collaborated with a team of skateboarders which in turn providing their preferred surface textures to ride. The end result is an inspired glacial structure composed of a variety of marble and granite finishes, and consists of raised ledges, curbs, and benches. One noteworthy spot is the 3-foot-wide railing of smooth stone. For the full read visit Wired.

Lost 5'5" x 19"1/4 Redux DVD



In the winter of 96/97 while everyone was riding 6'1" thrusters featuring Slater's elf shoe rocker, and long before the "retro fish" craze, two kids attacked the North Shore and beyond on 5'5" twin fins. The subsequent action and other oddities ended up being patched and edited into the 1997 Lost surf movie 55 x 19 1/4".

What started out as an addendum of random recent fish clips has turned into a Magnus opus of epic proportion. Over 8, 10, or 12 years in the making comes 5'5" x 19 1/4" REDUX. Starring Chris Ward, Aaron Cormican, and Mason Ho putting sub 5'6" boards to their limits. Also featuring sections from Shane Beschen, Kolohe Andino, Dane Reynolds, Jordy Smith, Ryan Carlson and Ol' Mr. Sl9ner himself.

...and for the first time ever seen, Cory Lopez and Ian Walsh on the wave that could instantly change your definition of the perfect wave. Currently available at Sauce.
