Clark Riedel of Evolution Surfboards, Modern Day Olo

Pretend Jonathan Redford isn't even in this bit of over produced Hollywood crep and bask in the glory of what Clark Riedel and his team at Evolution are doing with Balsa. I like the part where Clark talks about how hard it is to give these boards up.

Surfline's Six Weeks on the North Shore

Surfline did a nice job of covering all the action from the North Shore this year. Not epic footage but still worth a watch for all us Pro-Ho's out there.

Taylor Knox Fine Lines Jbay

Jbay, such a great setup. It looks like Taylor Knox may have surfed this spot once or twice before, it suits his style perfectly.

Tom Curren Having a Christmas Day Surf

Some beautiful waves in Oxnard on Christmas Day. If you just want to see Tom Curren's part it starts at 4:00

Cali Gold, you will never get a wave like this at Rincon

If you can't surf today don't even watch this video. The only regret I have in life is leaving Santa Barbara. Moving to San Diego to get a real job seemed like a good idea at the time, maybe I should have kept my job at Brophs' and continued to get waves, I would say like these but I never surfed Rincon this good, so I will just say at this spot. Maybe next year real estate prices will drop 50% and I can move back. Santa, can I get a 50% discount on a starter home on the Mesa?

More Big Wednesday Action at Blacks

Man... That doesn't even look fun. If you have ever taken a Canyon set you the head you know what I am talking about, peel you wetsuit off bad.



More Swami's action from big Wednesday

This is the best footage I have seen from Swami's. The crowed... crazy

Big Wednesday Sandbar Wipe out Reel

Some missed opportunities here for sure. Make sure you watch all the way through, the pitch sequence at the end is the best.

Surfing is...

Some local Ventura surfers on what surfing is, portraits by Timothy D. Burdick. Don't get me wrong, I love surfing as much as you do but is it really more then fun? Surfing is life may be projecting a bit.

Camp Kahea

I'm all for lifting the kids up and getting them exited about surfing but when I watch Camp Kahea I can't help but think surfing has become more about sponsor dollars. I wonder what MP or Dora would have to say about this...

Occy,The Occumentary

I wanted to post Pipline Pro footage but it isn't even real Pipe so I am just posting Occy, maybe for the rest of the week even.

Grom Challenge/Shred Stick Ehukai Dec 07

I read about this one on surfline the other day, pretty cool concept to stoke out the groms. Pros pull a groms name from the hat and then they have to switch boards. Kelly Slater and Jordy Smith riding 5'2 and 4'8. There is also a great sequence of Jon Jon pulling a Sunny Garcia move on Kelly Slater.

Not so secrect Malibu secret spot.

If you have driven highway 1 north to SB you know where is spot is. My may have never seen it do this but you have seen it.

Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, Yadin Nicol and host of other taking apart Sandbar

Best footage yet of some sick sandbar tubes. Note 2:00 minutes in the guy on the log I am surprised the locals let him on the break wall, the locals must be going soft.





BILLABONG PIPE MASTERS ROUND 1 BEST WAVES

Not real pipe, but a few good ones for the boys. Looks like the rest of the week is a wash, I guess I will have to get some work done.

Surfing Rincon on Big Wendesay

Every Rincon locals worst nightmare: guy leaves San Diego picks up friend in LA and heads for the Con... "On the best day of the year!"

El Cap on Big Wednesday

The camera work is horrible and the surfing mediocre but if you were wondering what El Cap looked like on Wednesday here it is. I bet there were moments of perfection throughout the day.

The Beschen Shaped 'Rocket'

I like the idea but it doesn't look like it goes that well. If Beschen can barely ride it the rest of us don't stand a chance, I am sure they will sell hundreds of them regardless.
