Windy and Weak



Howdy Surfriders ,
In all our brilliance Keith { Boogie Nights } White and I decided we would let the tide fall a bit and going for a paddle . Well you know the rest , in typical CB Fashion the tide fell out , the wind filled in . We still managed to catch a few, here's a sequence of Keith slogging through the slop and looking pretty stylish if I don't say so myself . Well gotta get back to that Olympic women's curling final . Keep on Surfing , Zog

Go Pro , Go Samantha

Yo Surfriders , the surf lived up to the forecast and was super fun this morning , solid shoulder high with bigger sets and straight offshore . Got out at 6:30 and Brian and Brad were already lighting it up on their SUP's . Those 2 surf great and the 3 of us had it all to our selves for at least and hour before a few more paddled out . I rode my 11 '2" Hobie ATR SUP and had a blast , starting to figure that tanker out , lots of fun .
That brings me to my second point , the trials and tribulations of the fledgling surf photographer . The water is still a little cool for swimming with the Go Pro in the line up so I've just been trying to shot while standing or paddling on my SUP. Saw and missed so many good rides this morning {sorry guys everyone surfed great} and took a beating while trying to catch the few I did . When I came home there was 1 jewel in the blurr of videos and images and this is it . I wasn't having much luck with video , so I switched over to 3 shot burst , and as I was paddling back out when another perfect set rolled in and Samantha caught it . I dropped down to my knees , ditched the paddle and caught this Awesome image as Samantha went flying by. So there I was on my knees , on an 11' SUP and boy did I take a beating. The surf gods must have looked down and said " look at that kook , he's praying for a beating let's give 'em one ". Well I took a couple more on the head while trying to reclaim my tanker and paddled back and caught tone more fun waves . I sift through the video tonight and try to find a little material for some You Tubin ' , but the suns out and I'm going back for more.
Have Fun and Keep on Surfin' , Zog

Safety Alert : Surfing much safer than Team Sports

Ouch Surfriders , The proof is in , surfing is much safer than team sports . Above is a picture of an X-ray of an arm belonging to a chap who presented himself to me at a local park this Sunday. That's his left Humerus ( the long bone between your shoulder and your elbow ) which was snapped while playing flag football , by a over zealous opponent . The round thing at the top is his shoulder joint , he is 6' 5" and weighed 260 lbs. . Yes this took a lot of force and hurt really bad , but I hooked a brother up , they don't call me Dr. Feelgood for nothing . This validates my 7 year study of grossly deformed traumatic injuries , that any sport with rules and officials is very dangerous and we should maintain our anti social roots , and stay in the water were it is safe.
I know what your saying to yourself " hell I don't even feel safe in my local lineup ". Yup, your right , with the influx of Jack Asses , Idiots and Assclowns from Northern Virginia to Southern Georgia and everywhere in between , invading our local lineups you better have your insurance premiums paid up. Lets not forget those little local punk bitches from UNCW , out flailing and dream shredding with no due regard , because there from some rich neighborhood like Pine Valley. My suggestion for you and your safety is to head south young surfriders . There's oodles of pristine vacant breaks from Fort Fisher and beyond . I hear from one reclusive surfer ( so reclusive , no ones ever seen him surf ), that Sheephead Rock is vacant and as safe a spot as you'll ever find . I myself often park at the aquarium , grab my trusty Wings BodyBoard and walk for hours to bask in the safety of the uncrowded waters south of Corncake Inlet.
Let's not lose focus on my years of research , and remember that even surfing a crowded day at Sun Skipper is much safer than engaging in team sports and possibly being maimed by one of these Jocko Homo's whose out to settle a score for having his ass kicked in 9th grade gym class.
Surf Safe , and May Their Force not be Applied Against You , Zog
