Yeah Gunkie, thanks.
Ok, since we're all climbers and surfers
(actually, having a hard time calling myself a surfer these days but whatever)
Check this out.
It's pissed me off for years
Ohana Kemp Surfboards has used this blatant ripoff lam
on their "Five and Dime" model for a while now.
Seeing the sticker on my car, at the beach people used to ask me if Five Ten was a longboarding brand....
Then this came along.
Lame.
I always thought their boards were lame too.

Petty? Huh?
You couldn't tell that pic was tilted?
What kind of surfer are you?
I've seen so many pics and videos during the 30 years I've been surfing that when I saw that Pyro pic I knew something was up...
Fukn amateurs...

Australia has some interesting critters to look out for when rockclimbing, but looks same-same for surfing. Great white shark and a mans 10 year old son in photo below.
"CANBERRA, Australia -- A 10-year-old surfer has had a close encounter with a photo-bombing shark that shared a wave with him off an Australian beach.
Chris Hasson said Thursday that he was taking photos of his son Eden riding a wave off Samurai Beach at Port Stephens, 180 kilometers (110 miles) north of Sydney, on Tuesday when something unexpected and indistinct caught his eye.
He discovered he had photographed the face of a twisting shark just below the surface with his son on an apparent collision course."

The Mexican President has cancelled his scheduled meeting with Trump in response to Trump's executive order to build the wall.
Trump has announced a 20% tariff on all Mexican imports to fund said wall in violation of NAFTA.
Based on past US/Mexican relationships mired in a downward spiral and the resulting visa and Army checkpoints that pop-up as retaliation- I guess I won't be surfing with my family in Mexico until this settles down.

That's a bummer and has a fair chance of occurring.
With that said, I'm considering a surf trip to Rio Nexpa. Anyone been there? Do I need a bulletproof vest?

Asilomar Reef, Monterey Peninsula.
In the early 2K's I would head up north to visit friends and surf. I'd often find myself surfing alone while my friends were working or while I was exploring In Big Sur.
The day pictured was in the fall on a non significant swell, which isn't to say it didn't have size and power.
I was riding a fish, which hadn't yet become popular, and the other surfers out at the reef thought it must be a kneeboard. It worked like a charm on the big sloping lefts and I had a great session.
At one point, everyone else had paddled in. In Southern California that's a blessing. In Central and Northern California that can make things a bit spooky so I caught a good one in and waited for my friend to get off work.
That evening we scored very good waves on the other side of the reef in Spanish Bay. Glassy, emerald green semi hollow rights in crystal clear water.
Occasionally, after a set, large bulbs of bull kelp would surface, sometimes hitting the underside of my board. Startling, to say the least, and the first time sharks really entered my mind. The waves had been too good to worry.
We surfed til dark and at the car I asked my friend about sharks. "Well I guess now that we're on the beach I can tell you." Oh sh#t.
Turns out, one of the most notorious shark attack fatalities in US history occurred at the reef I'd surfed earlier, just a stones throw from where were just surfing...at "feeding time".
In 1981 a local kneeboarder named Lewis Boren was taken while riding there alone. His board had a bite radius that of a White Shark 20ft in length, possibly more. One of the largest ever documented. His body was recovered days later, severed nearly in half, with a single bite from shoulder to hip.
A memorial paddle around the reef is still held for Lewis Boren.
In researching the spot later, I found helpful tips like "Large mature Whites regularly cruise this bay" and "Main Hazards: sharks. Bring your own iron cage".
Warnings I'm glad I didn't see beforehand.
I would have missed out on a few surfs I still count as my best.
