Monday Morning











What's Up Surfriders ,
Not a lot of wind this morning , not a lot of surf either . Nice morning though , no crowds and warm water . Got a couple shots with paddlecam shooting every 2 seconds . Can' t wait for some macking shacks and long lined up walls to check out the high def video. Cool pix Dwights Blog from yesterday as it looked like some ones were had. Looks like surf is on the way , hopefully some favorable winds too. Anyone up for some S-turns ? Keep your Fingers Crossed , Zog

*** Congrats Melissa on Toes on the Nose sponsorship , big box of shwag = big smile . ***

Paddle Cam Test # 1


Howdy Surfriders,

You know it , another day of gutless dribble . Know its nothing new , but made a paddle cam by following John Ashleys " how to " instructions off his blog Standup Paddle Surfing . Made a few changes and mods to custom fit my stick and took it out for a test today. He' s right , you don't even know its there , see a wave coming just push the shutter button and surf . Pretty neat angles and reminds me how fat and ugly I am . Should be fun to pass around out in the line up and get a little perspective on everybody elses surfing style. Gonna try some video when we get some surf.Looks like ITCZ is starting to heat up so pray for Caine' swells . Zog

Go Pro Weirdness



Howzit Surfriders , Hope everyone caught some fun surf today . Going through the oodles of pix from yesterday and am always amazed at the cool pictures the Go Pro seems to get . Its always cool to see shots of yourself and friends surfing , but I'm always stoked to see all the odd underwater and trippy color / prism shots. It reminds me of how much I take for granted being out in the ocean and all the cool stuff we get to see . The Go Pro loves the sun and yesterday produced some weird / cool images, I put them in to a slide show . Check it out , Zog

Zoe The Magnificent




























Howdy Hot Friday Surfriders ,

As you can see , you didn't miss a whole lot this morning , small offshore and a few fun ones to be had . Zoe paddled out on his new 8' 6" PSH and totally pulled some trippy Criss Angel Mind Freak stuff on us . As the first shot shows Zoe smiling, staring straight into the camera and bent my whole universe / reality. In the second shot Zoe was battling with Stan for this little nugget when Zoe tranced him out , making Stan drop his arms , and stand there limp and slobbering as Zoe glided by{ I think Zoe levitated to}. In the third shot Zoe was preparing to crank another massive bottom turn when he held up his paddle and bent it mid shaft { I don't think it is one of those new PSH magic paddles either} and as it went back into its original shape Zoe proceeded to shralp down the line around the point. I tried to take more pix , but as you can see my world was spinning , as the universe was twisted. I told Zoe I was dizzy and confused and thought I should go home and stare at board volumes and paddle dimensions { how weird is that }when Zoe told me never mind that nonsense he would show me the future . He warned of the great SUP apocalypse , and before I could say when , Zoe shot a lightning bolt out his ass and knocked me off my board. As I came to the surface I saw the vision, tandem sit down air mattress surfing . THE END IS NEAR. Fear Zoe the Magnificent , he a trippy dude, Zog

New Video

Afternoon Surfriders ,
Great pix and stories from this weekends swell , had to work maybe next time. Posted Tyler Warrens "Bar of Soap" video below. Tyler is ultra stylish surfer and artist , as this video shows his world class surfing on what looks like a piece packing styrofoam. It seems like there are so many my way is the only way types out there today."Paddle or Die", "Longboard or go Home" , " Rodeo Clown to Revert Shredders " that we forget its just surfing . For those of you who like the alternative stuff and really " can " surf , and will charge it on anything from 12' SUP to a $9.99 Wings sponge your going to like this . Check out more of Tylers style at the Surf Knot link in the blogroll . Enjoy , Zog
