Oh man, that left looks inviting....


For twelve years I was lucky enough to be able to suit up at home and be in the water at Trestles in less than ten minutes.
This was my first custom board shaped my my bud Midget, rest in peace.
I brought in a 70's single fin I'd been riding and asked him to base a thruster off of it. This is what I got. It was a gem. I sold it, along with most of my boards, when I hurt my back and needed money. I actually Made money off that damn board! Many, many years later my bro in Morro Bay sent me a cell phone pic of the board. A gal had bought it used in San Diego and loved it.
I wonder where it is now...

The TRUE Church of the Green Cathedral is in that vid. Literally the Green Room (until it goes brown sucking sand at the end). Hallelujah! ;) gave me leg cramps just watching it....

I'm not good enough at climbing to make a valid comparison...climbing's what's keeping me going these days though. There is usually less blood with surfing unless you are over coral reef.

Next to impossible to improve on that video, but I think you all might get a kick out of this sequence. Dan Dowden at Resturants. Think I got the order right...

It's been hit or miss this summer wave season.
I have been going over to the west side several times a week and haven't really scored that well over there so far.
I am stoked to have hooked up with an old friend that's getting back into the sport and he is really stoked. Splitting the fuel takes the sting out of getting skunked. Plus he likes to take his van and just picks me up and drops me off.

Today is "International Surfing Day" and you can't buy a wave any where on this island.

There is sweet inspiration for me all up and down this thread. From O'man's shots of "waterman" and Tim's project, to Pyro's morning session shot, to the sweet memories of Drljefe's shot. Even Peter Han's pieces of art (you win the surreal as sh1T award). I'll have to throw my personal project up one day. Another inspiration is my friend Toby. I never have or ever will surf the kind of waves Toby likes to get on. This is just a shot (not my shot) with a nice angle. Toby in the Tropics, from a few years back.

Sweet!! It's all good, especially if your stuck in California. One of my favorite sessions ever was day before Christmas on a shoulder high day with only a good buddy of mine and myself in the lineup. Longboarding/trimming with the lip cracking at our hips and a light breeze blowing through the hair; just me and Steve. It's what the free ride was all about.
