Instead of busting your head open with an Indo Board, a great new product to try (or buy for a logger near you) is the NOHO Surf Trainer, with damn cool video shown here. Invented by Mark Carlson, the California-designed product consists of four pod-like-things strapped to the bottom of your board. The pods are [...]
Oh boy. First it was SUPs. Now it’s this. I have no idea what it is, but dammit I’m going to find out. It is clearly something to do with motorized surf. Gas guzzler? No se, hombre. The dude on the surfboard/boat has a shiz eating grin on him, so it must be fun on [...]
Muchas gracias to Hurley, who has recently signed up Bar Rafaeli, pictured here, to be one of their models. Now, Bar Rafaeli does not, to our knowledge, surf. Nor does her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio (though we hear he’s going to play Miki Dora in the movie adaption of the book by David Rensin, All for [...]
Let’s start at the beginning and assume nothing.
Assumption 1: You are a surfer.
Assumption 2: You live near the ocean.
Assumption 3: You probably always drive to the beach.
Assumption 4: A larger portion of you live close enough to the beach to a ride a bike.

If you’re a big guy, as in tall and/or large, you’ve got only a couple of options when it comes to surfing.
You can bust out a log. Think 9′6″ of foam. A log will be easy to paddle, and because of your size, easy enough to step on the tail and whip that boat around. [...]
You may have seen one or two of these puppies running around your local surfbreak, packed in the back with a full quiver and even stand-up paddleboards strapped to the roof! of surfboards. The truck is the Ford Bronco, widely seen as one of the best, most rugged trucks ever made, perfect for off-roading, ahead [...]
It never ceases to amaze what people will do to earn surfing gas money. On Craigslist, you can get some sweet deals. It’s the tool of choice for selling a used surfboard. Apparently for a Santa Monica surfer, it’s also a place to sell a Surfboard Bag Shoulder Strap for $10. In case - you [...]
Well that just sucks. Saw this on Craigslist Newport beach the other day. Land lover indeed. It’s a sign of the end of summer. Poor ex-surfer gets frustrated at a sport that requires a serious commitment to fail, failure, fail again, can’t paddle fast enough, pearling and other general kookiness. But man when you get [...]
The 2010 Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast kicks off next weekend, ushering in the start of the 2010 ASP World Tour.
The problem - you made plans to take away your significant other for a romantic weekend, leaving you computerless and unable to watch the opening heats.
There’s an app for that. Worry no more. Quiksilver [...]
This time lapse video is, with no doubt, the coolest time lapse surfing-related video I’ve seen. Watching this was almost like sex almost like getting barrelled. So cool. Don’t ding this log, but yeah, pretty damn cool. Watch for yourself:
