We Came , We Saw , We Raced , Part II. The Onslow Bay Challenge

What Up Surfriders , Keith {Boogie Nights} White and I ventured up to Topsail for The Onslow Bay Challenge and had a blast. First off let me say Jason , Phil and the SideArm family pulled off and awesome event with trucks and a bus to ferry the racers to the south end , and the best vibe with the coolest group of people we've done anything with in awhile. Both Keith and I agreed that there was none of this snotty , I'm the king of the Northend bullshit , just a bunch of fun loving Bad Asses who came to get down . Over 40 racers helped race money for Surfers Healing , as they and all the sponsors were awesome and the shwag and good times flowed. Boy Howdy is 10 miles a long way , but the fat kids finished the race in 2hr and 16 min and had a blast. Great to see Haywood , CHill , Brad H. , The Curry family , William P. and lots of great friends . Good ole CB needs to have a downwind race as that is a lot of fun!!! Keith and I wanted to thank Justin for the motivation and lighting a fire under us , Smug burns a hell of a lot hotter than aviation fuel . Have a Great Weekend , Zog

Power , Death , and Sin

The mean season is definitely upon us . Guess the pain lets 'em know they're still alive.

It's Gregs Birthday

Yo Yo Yo Surfriders ,

It's O.G. , Glide Master Greg's Birthday !!! And only one person could MC this occasion and it's Greg's all time favorite player , Chuck Woolery !!! Chuck and Greg have been sharing this magic flowing Do for decades , even though Greg's has turned a cold steel grey . Go ahead and give him a call , if he's not out picking up some depends he's probably down at the social security office starting the paperwork. And go ahead and drop in on him next time you see him in the water , nothing says happy B-day like a good snaking! Zog

Onslow Bay Challenge

What's Up Surfriders ,

Just talked to Jason at SideArm , as he wanted to remind everybody about the Onslow Bay Challenge on June 18 th. There is a couple races with a 3 mile rec division and the 10 mile open ocean downwinder. With a little luck we might get some stiff southwest winds for a great event .Jason reassured me that even my fat old ass could finish the race running with the wind at my back ,while my scorched , dehydrated , lifeless body washes up on Atlantic Bch. , but hey it's for a good cause supporting Surfers Healing. The only person you have to out do is yourself so lets charge it , get the biggest board you can find and we'll get jacked up on Britts Donuts and race. I had got an incredible sense of satisfaction on finishing the Cold Stroke {my first race}in under an hour as I'm sue this will be something to remember. Anyone wanting to go for some training runs give me a call or leave note in the comment box. As usual pray for surf , this flat bullshit Sucks!!! Zog

Monday Fun Day

Howdy Surfriders, Fun pre sunrise start to some waist to chest peelers. Brad , Brian , Justin , Melissa , and I were to only ones out. Beautiful morning ! Zog

Swiss Army Board

Hola Surfriders , Here's a couple of shots of my collaboration with long time friend and red hot shaper / builder Jimmy Keith . The concept was to make a Swiss Army Board , a one board quiver that would have to serve you in all conditions. Home , Hatteras , Hawaii, in boardshorts and 4 / 3 fullsuits . I love the finished product as it's very nice to have a shaper listen to you and let you watch him shape your board and add your ideas . Rocking artwork by Rob , I gave him an idea and he created this masterpiece. Need some surf to put her through her paces. Stay tuned , Zog
