there is usually a perfect spot to be in just in front of the breaking wave

Surfing Scotty

Scott is surfer from the Bay Area. Scotty is pictured here with a dog, though it's not his dog. More on Scott's quiver later. He's a surf instructor in San Francisco, a Coastal Geography expert and a people-watcher when it comes to NorCal surf culture.

Guinness Surfer Commercial

Is this supposed to be Irish surfers of lore? There’s an ancient tribal feel to the content, but they’ve got fiberglass/single-fin Guns. The guys frolicking in their underwear has got me guessing too - not likely in the freezing North Atlantic…unless, after a few too many pints of Guinness!

Why you don’t lend your boards to Beginners

For anyone planning to start surfing, it’s a good idea to buy a used or epoxy board that can take a beating. And, before you paddle out don’t be afraid to ask a local where to get in and out of the water. This dude’s next lesson will be in ding repair.

Introducing the “Surf Simulator”

According to it’s UK promoter, Corporate Leisure International (http://www.corporateleisure.co.uk/), the ‘Surf Simulator “gives you the opportunity to ‘ride the tube‘ without getting your feet wet“. Huh? A sign the Corporate world is REALLY out of touch? Nah, just another way to have fun at a party. CLI, an event business, also offers among [...]

Longboards Rule!

Before all you shortboarders get your panties in a bunch, I’m talking skate here. Nothing like cruising a longboard and when you can get some decent carves in the feeling only gets better. This clip illustrates some epic LB action. Check it.

Bali is Firing!

Long lefts…really long lefts. There’s one, sadly empty, left shown here that is sooooo long I actually got tired mind-surfing it.

Canadian Surf, Eh?

Wetsuit technology has made surfing possible in places we previously would never have considered surfable. It still sounds strange to me to use Canada and surfing in the same sentence, but make no mistake about it - there are Canadian surfers enjoying epic Canadian waves.  If you’ve already explored the many tropical destinations so well [...]

Wipeouts Anyone?

Not usually into this sort of music, but this one’s kinda catchy and really makes the vid work for me. “The Ride” at the end is my fantasy third reef Pipeline ride of all rides.

The Quest for Perfect Bush Barrels

Always mind-surfing I can’t help but lean in and arm-drag under sidewalk bush pits myself…apparently these lads live in a bush barrel rich zone.

Drunk at the Wavepool: Shots n Tubes

The mission:
Get hammered
Invade the wavepool
Tie up/Pay off/Enlist the power controller
Turn it on full blast
Charge it!
Yeah!
**I don’t know what’s up with the guy at the end.

Childhood Memories

Remember that first big wave (to you)  as a kid playing in the surf? The first glimpse at a wall of water growing before your eyes and bearing down on you?  That moment when you were either brave and playful with it, or freakin’ panicked!? For many, these were the childhood experiences that shaped their [...]
