Santa Monica Surf Case review
After having boards broken and/or dinged on every surf trip I took over a 15+ year period, I finally decided I needed to change the way I traveled. I searched all around the internet for a sensible solution and came up with only two options: 1) continue to use a soft bag, with my boards [...]
Going off the surf map - Guernsey
Let’s take a trip back to the British Isles for another getaway that’s off the surf maps. I don’t mean England, Wales or Scotland. This time, we’re talking the minor islands, the offshore islands, the outlying islands, or more specifically, the British Channel Islands. Guernsey is just one of those glorious islands within the Bailiwick [...]
Going off the surf map - Holland
When someone mentions Holland or the Netherlands, one immediately thinks of clogs, Amsterdam and the seedier things in life - drugs, prostitution and drugs. A more worldly person might point out the fine beer produced there, while a more cultured person might point out the fine art; the beautiful canals, dikes and windmills; the food and the [...]
British Airways and Qantas in merger talks - Surf travel could suffer
The global surf travel industry just got hit with a shocking bit of news regarding a merger bid between British Airways and Qantas. For those unfamiliar with the two, Qantas is the Aussie national airline, which permits free surfboard travel wherever they fly, while British Airways is the British national airline, which bans surfboard travel [...]
Going off the surf map - Nova Scotia
Home to the finals of the Red Bull Ice Breaker and to a growing community of locals and expats who enjoy the emptiness and multitude of secluded points and coves, Nova Scotia on Canada’s eastern seaboard is one of those spots that is known to many, but traveled to by few. A known surfing destination, [...]
Surfing Turkey on Turkey Day
No, this is not a cheap Thanksgiving joke at the expense of some cartoon turkey, nor is it a photoshopped gobbler pulling in at backdoor, and, this is most certainly not going to include some poor innocent turkey whose insane owner thought taping its feet to a surfboard and pushing it into waves would make for [...]
Going off the surf map - Wales
Heading to the British Isles and looking for somewhere unique to head out for a surf? More well known as the land of Catherine Zeta Jones, or the land of twisted tongues with words twisted into impossibly long unpronounceable strings of misplaced vowels and consonants. While Wales lacks the allure of some of the more famous surf [...]
Going off the surf map - Italy
When most people think of surf travel, they think of idyllic island paradises, boat trips, rustic villages, dirt roads, warm water and warmer weather. For those of us who are not amongst the pro surfing ranks, our surf travels come a lot less frequent than we’d like, so we try to make them count. When [...]
Once You’ve Made the Commitment
Surfing takes a ton of commitment. I’m not just talking about forcing yourself to go surfing even though you are either sore and/or hungover, I’m talking about just getting to the surf spot. Sometimes it is a death cliff where you must hold your board with one hand while grasping on to shrubbery for dear [...]
Travel Diaries: El Salvador - the end
The morning of the competition, I decided to wake up extra early to get there and surf before everything got started. The waves at the right point break were not as big as the day before, but were glassy at least. I had rented a 6′2 fish for $20 (ridiculous for El Salvador’s [...]
