Perils of pearling while “surfing”
Ahh yes. Goat boats. We’re sure it’s quite a rush to surf down the face of a wave in a big mofo of a boat. But, as any kook knows, pearling happens from time to time. It can be rescued. You’ve got to push yourself off of the deck of your board etc. etc. Anyway, [...]
Surfing Rules and Surfing Etiquette Signs
At my local beach break, there are no surfing etiquette signs, and it shows. Today, I was dropped in on by about 5 people, even though I whistled, occupied the corner and let other pulses slip past to clear out the masses. A sign is needed. I have three pet peeves, and I’d bet you [...]
A question from a surfer…
Hey kids - we received a quesiton from a Florida surfer last night which sparked some debate amongst the staff at DailyStoke.com:
“Dear Dailystoke - are you planning on having message boards.”
The answer to that question is: “Probably not.”
The reason is because if you check out the message boards at Surfer mag or Surfing the Mag [...]
Look Mom! I’m surfing!
Ok, so I can make fun of kooks *beginner surfers* from time to time, right? Here though, what look to be really really cold beginners on what appears to be a cold stormy day (probably in England?) two surfers ride…err…tandem on the whitewater. We’ve ALL been there. Some more often/later in life than others…
Pro Longboarders, Acrobats, Dogs and Children
There are a lot of surfers in my town that are sponsored and have won numerous competitions all over Mexico and the rest of the world. Congratulations to them. What is really fun about them is that they looooove to show off for the tourists. Especially the longboarders. They rock the usual nose ride, 360, [...]
September is here, and the summer is over for surfers.
The summer is basically officially over for summertime surfers. Labor day is the traditional back to school, back to work, back to the real world weekend for “surfers from the Valley” (as we imagine Miki Dora would say.) Accordingly, we leave you on this September evening with dreams of the Endless Summer, via Bruce Brown’s [...]
Dear *beginner surfer* – Don’t Let the wind have its way with your surfboard
I’ve seen this number way too many times. It either occurs before or shortly after a surfing session. The perpetrator is so excited to be doing the same sport as Mr. Kelly Slater that he fails to acknowledge the gale-force winds a’brewin’. Long story short, the board is either temporarily stored leaning against a wall, [...]
How do you know summer crowds will soon dwindle?
Ahh yes, the annual Craigslist sell off. Welcome! We encourage anyone who’s thinking of giving up to hold on to their board despite their wife or roomate’s objections, and try again next summer. Fall is a great time of year in many surf spots around the world, but spose you could learn that some other [...]
