Erica Hosseini is perfect (other than the fact that she’s goofy foot)

She’s from Newport Beach, California, she surfs way better than you, and… oh yeah… she’s pretty friggin hot too.  If there is any imperfection in this otherwise perfect human, it’s the fact that she’s goofyfoot.  We’ll let her slide on that for now.

Alex Knost unplugged, the world pukes in its collective mouth a little

Cruisin’ with Rob Machado

I’ve been a huge fan of Rob Machado for years. Like his legion of followers, I’ve watched him mature from his OP Pro Junior win back in 1991, to his tense World Tour runner-up finish in 1995, to his heartbreaking 2001 season and beyond. I even had the good fortune of seeing Rob completely [...]
