Tandem Surfers: Loved by Themselves, Loathed by Others
What could be better than holding up a female counterpart in a gymnast-like pose while surfing on a wave? Not much. Except maybe getting the barrel of your life, or launching a 360 air - well, that’s what the regular surfers say. They want to do what the tandem surfers do, but they don’t want [...]
Leash or No Leash…My Vote
There are two schools of thought - or two different debates - when it comes to surfing. One: Longboarding or shortboarding? Longboarding is better. That one’s easy. Moving on to the second: Leash or No Leash? I thought I’d cast my vote in this debate (er, school of thought), since the first one is an [...]
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.
[Editor's Note: Yeah - [...]
Surf Flat? Stay in Paddling Shape for Cheap
There are definitely advantages to going to your local gym after work to try to get in shape. Your gym has every machine and weight setup you could possibly need to get a great workout, not to mention the scenery is usually pretty good.
But once you’re there, and finally not distracted for long enough to actually get [...]
NOHO surf trainer - a surfing product review
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 [...]
Foam for thought: The forgotten link
While I was surfing one bright, summer morning, I decided, “It’s only going to be knee-high, so I’ll bring my longboard so I’ll be able to catch the waves.” That morning the water resembled a mirror, and every so often a sizable stomach-chest high bomb set would roll through. They were definitely shortboardable, but I had [...]
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.
Longboarding just got a lot scarier - Bear Invitational
Watch this video and tell me how these guys pull off those moves on logs in 15 foot surf! I would crap in my socks riding those waves with longboards! I probably would decapitated by the fin or something. I liked to think that longboards are for cross stepping and soul-sliding on [...]
BC Longboards ~ Dailystoke.com custom longboard!
I have recently discovered longboard skateboarding to be a great way to train for surfing during flat spells. The more I do it, the more stoked I get and after returning to the water after a recently long flat spell, I am convinced it helps with my performance in the water. Because I feel longboards [...]
Bringing back the Johnny Boy Gomes mantra – DO SOMETHING!
So I’m sitting out in my regular lineup on a less than stellar day, where the already mediocre sets are few and far between. Finally a set peaks up on the horizon, sending me and everyone else scrambling to pick off the one decent wave of the set/hour/day. Then some turd-burglar on a longboard [...]
