not Blacks :-)

Black's at that size and quality would have a bit more than 3 people on it. And I usually approach Black's from the UCSD road. On weekends you can park in the Muir College lot for free and walk straight across to the road down. I always seems to nick my boards coming down from the gliderport; probably from having to avert my eyes from things you can't unsee.

I'll be out there May 5-8 and will hit the Sacred Craft/Boardroom Show at the fairgrounds. Plan to surf mornings and go to the show at least on one afternoon.

These cupcakes get to change in and out of their steamer wetsuits inside a nice warm and dry house. me? I'm the guy standing behind the car getting in and out of my winter wetsuit. Fun.

So basically, Shawn Dollar is a dead man without the air tank. I'm surprised he didn't have an inflatable vest under the wetsuit; at least he didn't mention it. That was spine tingling.

I'm surprised he didn't have an inflatable vest under the wetsuit; at least he didn't mention it.
This took place early 2012 and the Patagonia inflatable vest hadn't been invented yet. The Billabong V1 inflatable wetsuit had just come out and he was wearing one but he couldn't find the toggle.
After filming I paddled out winded and tired and caught a couple waves. My third wave was a good sized one that I didn't make it around the corner and got seriously rolled. I was exhausted and when I felt the second wave go over me it was time to use the V2.1 and get the hell out of there. However when I fell it pulled the chord from my shoulder and I couldn't find the rip cord. After struggling and not finding it, because it was loose and somewhere behind my back, I was getting close to blacking out and the rest of that sh#t that goes on down there. I grabbed my Spare Air cleared the chamber and took 4 breaths and was able to keep calm. I came to the surface just as another wave hit me. I wasn't really able to get much of a breath on the surface and then got drilled again. I used my spare air through this again, taking 4 more breaths. I ended up going through the rocks. Vince Broglio grabbed me in the lagoon and I was caughing up water and was very very dizzy. Super Heavy experience. Spare Air's are suppose to have about 15 breaths, but I was taking such deap ones I went though the can in about 8 breaths.

I broke my neck (fractured my C5 in two spot, and subluxated C5 over C6) back on October 1st 2016 when I wiped out a bomb at N. Side HB Pier. Just started surfing and climbing again. It was a total bummer to be in a neck brace for two months.... Climbed for about 15 years straight until I moved back to So Cal in 2009 and started surfing again. What a feeling.... Stoked to be back doing both :-)

Kai Lenny surfs under his own power all the way from Maui to the Big Island. Where is this branch of surfing taking us?

That's a great video Studly, and Kai is a man with forward vision. Just in case you all forgot about him, not riding, but ripping Peahi....
