Umm, no thanks
This is just ridiculous. Do marketing folks think this is actually interesting? It’s boring, and even the clothes are ridiculous. Nice surf hats though - that’ll keep the sun away.
Surfer gives up surfing too early
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 [...]
I can’t believe they had the balls to make the drop on those logs
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 [...]
How to make a longboard - out wood, starring Greg Noll, Doc Ball, LeRoy Grannis and Lorrin Harrison
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 [...]
Dora Lives
For your viewing pleasure, an olllllllld video starring Miki Dora at Malibu. Very cool video. Transport yourself back to a time when you only had to share a wave with one other person at ‘Bu:
1962-63 Hobie Longboard Possibly Shaped by Mike Hynson
There’s all sorts of cool shiz on Craigslist this time of year, but this one takes the cake - a very cool story follows. This guy in San Diego is selling a 1962 Hobie Alter Longboard, pictures shown here.
The size is roughly 9″8″. Says our intrepid Craigslist seller: “When I got this board I was [...]
I’ve got a Woody
The Ford Woody is a dream surf-mobile. Picture Malibu in the early 50s, with nobody - nobody - on the waves on most days. I mean, this is before the Endless Summer. If you want to relive some of that, you can, for only $99,500. Ford Woodies in good shape go for that much these [...]
Sick playmobil surfing
This video is sick and should be shown to groms and budding surfing filmmakers everywhere. I haven’t played with Playmobil in like, three months! The tubes are basically perfect. Love it.
Kelly Slater’s girls
Most of us love Kelly Slater’s surfing and wish we could be this guy. In and out of the water, he has a life most of us can only envy. A charmed life, as we learned in our interview with Kelly. Wanted to take a few moments to point out in photos a few more [...]
Funny Sex Wax ad
This is a Sex Wax print ad campaign. Good stuff. I haven’t personally picked up a stick of Sex Wax in a long time, largely because I don’t think it’s as good as Sticky Bumps or Palmers. Just personal preference, but when I wax my poly boards with Sex Wax, the wax tends to crumble [...]
