mike,
be careful with the wrist cameras. a friend of mine almost died at jockos when his rash guard got pulled over his head. he couldn't take it off because of the camera.

Thank you DavidS. I really enjoyed surfing Crouching Lion with you guys. One of the better sessions of the trip.

Wound up surfing North Beach on the Marine Base in Kaneohe on Monday. It was firing.

Now I'm back home and trying to get excited about cold beachbreak tomorrow.

I'm always a bit skeptical when I hear something is "Green".

Can anyone fill me in on how the foam and resins are made? I googled it but found some very ambiguous stuff.

Good luck with your board.

RW,
I used to think I was cynical.
I really can't find anything sinister about hooking someone up for a surf trip. Do you see conspiracies in everything?

I've thrown my money in because I'm hoping it's not the trip of a lifetime for the lucky grommet or grommets that get to go. I hope it's just the start for these lucky kids.

you can take a board on the bus with no problem. the busses are cheap and efficient. if you are going to pichilemu, make sure you go to the central bus station and get a bus that goes through melipilla. this saves about two hours. the other bus station will get you there but you have a stop in san f...

yep, been a dozen times or so. i usually only go to pichilemu. there are three left points within seven kilometers. these are punta de lobos, infiernillo and la puntilla. infiernillo is very fickle but can CHANGE YOUR LIFE if you get it on. everyone has seen pics of lobos. to my mind the points work...

come on guys, think about the good things the surf industry does for us. when i was in torquay there was a guy from manchester, england trying to learn to surf. the guy at the shop offloaded something that kelly slater might ride on him. i don't think anyone could learn on something like that. at le...
