Car surfing is like real surfing, except the wipeouts aren’t as fun
There’s a surfing-like activity that is all the rage for surfers that are battling flat conditions (ie. None of us, right now) and for dumb kids finding themselves far from surf: car surfing. Don’t do it. Don’t let your younger brother do it. The guy in this video is just totally asking for - oh, [...]
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.

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 [...]
There are a couple of ways to get hurt in big surf…
… And honestly, this a kind of stupid way to get hurt. It looks like a blast to do, but imagine being hurt while you do it: “How did you break your neck? Where you surfing Shipsterns Bluff and you wiped out onto the rock shelf?” Then you try to come up with [...]
Ryan Hipwood has Skillz. Yes, I said “skillz.”
This guy must have been like the happiest guy in the world when he made this drop. He looked like a freakin’ bird! He probably like had the biggest block party that night just for that wave. It was just amazing how he stuck the landing like it was an ollie. [...]
“Skindog” vs. Jaws
Santa Cruz surfer Kenny “Skindog” Collins is a madman. He’s successfully established himself as a big-wave hellman with a knack for finding his line into cavernous tubes at places like Maverick‘s and Puerto Escondido (see this). Looks like he‘s finally met his match.
Kite surfer gets flown away
I never really felt the inclination to learn how to kite surf. It looks too hard. Surfing is hard. But you don’t need to carry a load of crap with you. And it looks like a lot of work to stay upright on that board. This commercial is actually pretty [...]
Absolutely Brutal Pipeline Beatdown Vid.
It’s hard not to laugh, but I commend these guys for having the beanbag to be out there. The pounding at about the 51 second mark gives me the chills.

Why We Watch Maverick’s Videos
Why do we watch videos of Mavericks?
Excellent question! I’m glad you asked.
To start with, we watch videos of Mavericks to see people surfing in the ugliest weather and most unimaginably vile water. I want to see clouds that invoke images of judgement day and dark grey/green water hiding sea monsters or maybe something more innocuous [...]
For those of you who can’t make it to Hawaii this winter
I’m sick of trying to pretend to be stoked for each and every friend who seems to be flying off to Hawaii for a few weeks this winter. Hasn’t the economy sh!t the bed? Where the hell do all of these slacker friends of mine find the time off and money necessary to spend a [...]
