Man, my Dermatologist likes me so much I have to go four times a year to get $hit cut out of me and pay his daughter’s tuition at USC. It’s been with every minute of it. Wear sunscreen.
This one hurts. While I’ve never never been on Conception, I’ve been on many San Francisco, Half Moon Bay, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Long Beach, Dana Point, San Diego charter fishing and dive boats. Many of these boats have been operating for decades and are anchors of their coastal communities...
Don’t blame the Chinese, Wavestorm, or AGIT global is based in Irvine, CA the commercial center for lots of big money surf brands. It’s a big business right or wrong. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-29/wavestorm-s-99-99-surfboard-upends-the-industry
I’m guessing they make the...
I just use a few old laundry detergent plastic bottles. They are thick so they keep my rinse off water warm in winter. The Water doesn’t taste too good admittedly but I’m done with having more kids so it doesn’t matter.
I’m a so so surfer and sailor. Over in the sailing world, foils have been THE advancement in last ten years or so. Never foiled in a boat but would love too. Not too long ago US Olympian and general sailing legend Bora Gulari was racing a foiling catamaran class Nacra 16. He’s boat capsized...
Just got back from Manresa camping and besides Whitey clearing the beach on Monday its a fun country SC spot left and rights no crowds. In town its mostly rights but as a screw foot (thanks Uncle Ten Toes Ed) i neva felt i was going backside. Check Davenpoint and countyline north of the town...
Per Don's comment. I had the roundabout priveledge to meet and surf with Ed a few times thru others on this board. I said it 10 years ago that he was one the best surfers on the left coast but without the drama or ego. All of that in Santa Cruz which is full of both. He was even an better...
I surf and sail. Over in the sailing world, foiling boats have been marching forward for a while. A Standard keelboat pushes say 5 kts. Shopping cart slow. catamarans pushed speeds into the teens as did the ULDB surfing monohulls did in the '80s and now foiling boats much higher.... but for...
Has longboard skating improved my surfing? Why, yes, yes, sir it has! I now know how to go over the falls onto concrete much, much better than before. Tweety bird and I are now good friends too and i would suggest is my animal spirit. Much respect to the skaters.
Bump for some great boards! Peeps, Stef doesnt buy, ride or sell crap boards.
Off the Radar as ive been surfing the pilar point jetty, stef and tom, between the storms and LM rockfest surf. Tom check your email for boat update.
A couple a summers ago my family and i were hanging poolside on a vacation minding our own business. There was one of those purple, $2 dollar vinyl, blow up pool style mats abandoned along the fence by no doubt some similarily cheap ass vacationer like myself. For shits & giggles i saved it...
My california view on How to enjoy HI:
- Ohana is most important. as it should be
- show respect in the line up, Especially visiting Haole kine. Respect gets respect.
- bring food gifts. Asian/hawaiian thing.
- you need a truck to get respect in HI
- enjoy the surf
