Wow, what a shock. Very saddened, I surfed with him in 2011 down in Baja. I thought he was a nice guy, easy to get along with and he ripped on a kneeboard. I will miss him.

Thanks for being there Rob. All I can add is I was paddling out after a mediocre wave only to see Leonard in a nice barrel come out and do a ripping slash. I was thinking, "I am in big trouble today." Waves were almost epic for a contest. Didn't see anyone else's waves, but I think we all ...

Yo RW, pull your head out bud! This came from a legitimate news source and anyone trying to "keep it under the radar" is part of the problem. I posted it as a teaching point. It is a tragedy that anyone dies from pollution, but good can come out of any tragedy if people really care. Stay i...

Surfing dirty water.

People often laugh when I stay out of the water for 72 hours/three days after a good rain here even though "the water looks clean," but there is a reason the gov. takes water samples and warns us. It's the stuff you can't see that will kill you. http://www.theinertia.com/surf/southern-cali...

Joe bring a board. It looks like it will be chest high and chest high in OB has some decent power. :D
I like hanging out in coffee shops and taking the trolleys along their whole route to see the city, occasionally getting off at an interesting place. :wink:

Surfed around Noriega today by myself. Inside about 6ft, got a perfect tube, a few others and a bunch of waves. Lot's of paddling, good three hour workout. Should be bigger tomorrow. :wink:

A diver could blow it up for buoyancy. It was kinda complicated and dangerous. It was a nice one piece suit which was something new, everyone still had beaver tails. It also meant a diver could dive without a buoyancy compensator vest, which made things simpler, less lines and stuff in front of you....

That was cool and I had the same suit as GG. It's an O'neill Supersuit drysuit. You blow into that tube coming out of his chest to inflate it. I bought it for $40. at the swap meet, used it for SCUBA diving when I was 14 years old. 8)
