  • Wetsuit Explosion

    Wetsuit Explosion

    When i started surfing i bought wetsuits that were on sale, discounted or via some deal.  It’s crazy how expensive wetsuits cost and until win the lottery, i’m gonna stick with the same cheap program despite “you get what you pay for.” One of the first wetsuits i bought was an Xcel 5/4/3 Infinity.  For [...]

    No Leash, No Skill, No Clothes, and Blood

    The other week while sarfing down in Mexico myself and half our surf-gang were eating lunch at a local restaurant.  Mid-chow some gal rolled through the restaurant and asked if any of us spoke English.  I thought it kinda odd to ask us if we spoke English since we were yapping loudly and pretty American [...]

    How To Ruin Surfing For Yourself

    I’ve meet people who have surfed all over the world.  Some have been lucky enough to live in places with warm water and consistent good waves. When we’ve talked about PNW surf there’s always some comment about how lame wearing a wetsuit is, or the cold water, or the shitty surf, or the long drives.  [...]

    Lapidas. Otra Vez.

    Myself and a handful of friends are heading to Mexico in a couple weeks.  Same place i went last mex trip.  Managed to use miles i’ve been collecting for a few years to get a ticket for free.  Pretty rad.  Pretty lucky.  Really stoked! Swell looks promising.  Or at least it’s been pretty damn consistent.  [...]

    The Lost Monkfish Is Awesome

    Most people start out surfing on a longboard or some sort of oversized, beginner friendly surfboard.  If it clicks and you stick with it your board will probably get a bit shorter as you get better. My first board years ago was a big ‘ol 7’0 NWSD thruster, big-guy-tri, water logged, hand-me-down, POS.  That thing [...]

    Defense Techniques For The Lineup: A nwBro Guide

    There’s nothing lamer than paddling out to your favorite break that you don’t live near and having to listen to some soft-drink local jerk-face bark at you for who-the-fuck knows what.  Rather than get into it with locals here are a few techniques that could be effective in deterring them from barking at you or [...]

    La Bouche Is French For Mouth

    Set off on a weekend mission to the coast expecting mediocre surf, and typical coastal weather.  Friday afternoon, a 3.5 hr endeavor turned into a 5 hour effort and killed our collective hopes/dreams of an evening surf.  Clouds shutdown the near full moon that was zigging as the sun was zagging.  Would have been an [...]

    Westport 060510

    Surfed Westport (Jetty) last Saturday.  The Grays Harbor buoy has been down for the last week so i couldn’t remotely view the wave conditions.  Next closest buoy is 100 miles away or something.  The forecast was calling for windy conditions and a less than ideal swell dir/per/size.  It was a gamble. Webcam on the drive [...]
