What to do when the surf is flat

By: Surfing HQ, July 3, 2009, 5:00 am

Break out the 80s pants and go car surfing, of course! Actually, come to think of it, I know of no surfer that likes to car surf. For more ridiculous antics of hillibilies, check out this vid of car surfing. It's a Darwin award winner for sure! Read More to Continue Surfing


I can’t believe they had the balls to make the drop on those logs

By: Surfing HQ, July 3, 2009, 5:00 am

Some vintage footage of surfers at Sunset, Pipe, Waiamea in the 1960s, including George Downing, Ricky Grigg, Greg Noll and Mike Doyle. As the narrator says a couple of looooooong rides into this video: "And that's what you call really getting stoked." Stoked indeed. This surfing vid is a beaut. The best part is watching what appears to be Greg Noll doing a drop-knee turn on his surfboard. At Pipe. Read More to Continue Surfing

Product Review - Soularc Boards

By: Garage Shaper, July 2, 2009, 6:20 am

As you know, I’ve been doing more and more longboard skateboard reviews and have become a huge advocate for using them to train for surfing. Although all of the boards offer many similarities to the traditional surf experience, I found that many are still missing that genuine surfing feel. This is where SoulArc comes in. They are a relatively new board company but are introducing a radical new concept to the industry that was designed specifically to simulate surfing. Their board is composed of a maple deck slightly bigger than ... Read More to Continue Surfing


How to make a longboard - out wood, starring Greg Noll, Doc Ball, LeRoy Grannis and Lorrin Harrison

By: Surfing HQ, July 2, 2009, 5:00 am

Wow. This vid is pretty awesome for those into surfing nostalgia. (And we all are, ain't we!). Here you'll see a bunch of old guys (old guys rule blah blah blah) carving, literally, a log out of...a log. They even start the project with a massive chisel. This vid must be from the mid-80s or so, starring Doc Ball, LeRoy Grannis and Lorrin Harrison (and Greg Noll, the big guy.) The music is about as old as the combined age of these guys. Anyway, check it out: Read More to Continue Surfing

How can you not love a Brazilian lay day?

By: ASP Addict, July 1, 2009, 6:32 am

We've now had two lay days in a row at the 2009 Hang Loose Santa Catarina Pro and everyone's waiting for the action to resume.  During this downtime, I think it's important to address what has often been the most complained about stop on the World Tour. I've heard tons of complaints from the world's best surfers over the years about the waves on the Brazil leg of the World Tour.  Last year, nearly ... Read More to Continue Surfing

Sex Wax displays a sense of humor

By: Grom, June 30, 2009, 6:30 am

Well, actually, they've always displayed a sense of humor - I mean, Sex Wax? How about Quick Humps? Anyways, I love Sex Wax Quick Humps and I religiously use it as my base-coat because it makes the most perfect little bumps so your little feet and toes can grip an otherwise oil-slick board. Then I slap on some Sticky Bumps or whatever else I can find at the local shop and use the stickiness for extra insurance. But back to Sex Wax, when you go to their Read More to Continue Surfing
