I think KSUSA should vote a $25 scholarship to each of these top 10 point leaders to defray their expenses to Australia!

It's north of the Lane a bit in the Mitchell's Cove area and it does feature some wide open speed walls that give the surfer a lot of options with rides about 200 yards on the bigger days.

Good to hear about your experience with the mouth holder for the GoPro, Kurt, as I've thought about getting one of those. I usually just mount my camera facing forward--I've found it should definitely tip up a bit to get the top of the wave; pointing it level ahead will not give a good view As long ...

Yes, Rob, it's fantastic how you document these finals and let us see the waves. That's a lot of effort, but fortunately you are paid very well indeed for all that work!

Doc, this advice by Lefty is sound. Most guys getting into kneeboarding buy a good used kneeboard off someone (and there are plenty of guys in the San Diego area alone), as well as meet up with some guys and try a few of their boards--there's quite a few guys in the San Diego - Oceanside area. Just ...

I hadn't seen this footage before of GG on his edgeboard, which is something different from his classic Velo spoon. He sensitivity in his rail use and weighting to gain lots of speed was so apparent in this video. It's so great seeing this clip of him surfing it in really high quality, fast waves.

Thanks for all your very kind comments--this means a lot to me. After Mark's passing, I'm amazed at some of the stuff emailed to me that one of his sons found on his computer hard drive and jump drive; stuff I've heard about but never actually seen, such as his own free-wheeling (though accurate to ...

So he got a "talkin' to", eh, Bob? Good to hear. Yeah, I remember that one--would have been a heck of a wave it I'd of had it without the interference. He additionally did the slight fade into me also to make sure I had to straighten out on the takeoff and then wouldn't be able to pull off...

Having done GoPro clips, I can tell you that is a huge wave, probably about double OH--what an amazing tube!

Places around Santa Cruz and points north will all do very well in this swell. For example, there won't be many guys sitting on the big Left at The Lane, even working on the morning tide. It's just a bit tough everywhere with the super high tide at 10am, then everything will improve on the outgoing ...

Sorry, I don't know anything about that "under the bridge" spot as I have never surfed it. Maybe the other guys can tell you more. Well, no 6'3" gun for me to bring on the 23rd as I just completely creased it today surfing The Lane. It'll have to go to the ding hospital for a bit of s...

At this point, Surfline is predicting two NW swells in the water for 12/23, both between 4-5', and between 17-20 seconds, and with light winds, but with an amazingly high tide at about 11:00am (6.7'), then draining out dramatically through the afternoon. With the right wind, it could look just like ...
