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

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

It's Brads Birthday!!!!

Special news alert Surfriders , it's Brad Jones' Birthday , drop whatever your doing a call his oldness to wish him the best .Brad , Brian and I surfed some fun micro peelers this morning @ #12 to #14 . Tried to get some pix of the birthday boy, but had a ton of lens fogging issue with water and air temp difference. Brad was late as he is still trying to adjust to the K & W { kanes & wheelchairs } cafeteria diet as they awarded his young buck frequent flyer card . Brad also struggled with getting his new Depends on under his wetsuit , as I assured him it would be custom form fitted as soon as it got wet, and the bubbleguts would calm down to . Here's the only paddlecam shot that came out , groovy splash on a beautiful morning . Be sure to drop by the Surfhouse to see Brad, free Geritol and Depends for Everyone ! Zog
