Oh yeah, that board "is sick"? How the hell can he tell that, all he did is stand and fall. What did he do to actually asses it's sickness? That's like getting on a motorbike and crashing straight into a wall over and over again only to express how great the bike handles.

Really, do you have to ride a finless board looking like you are taking a dump? There are guys riding bodybaords standing up and they make real turns without fins.

Also, how much shaping can you put in the bottom before it qualifies as fins?

the new SUP...i'de rather ride a piece of plywood.

Sat night was fantastic, I ended my session with the sun setting, catching an outside wave at Sewers to First Peak and then 5 minutes ...

another SB surf weekend

looks like a fabulous surf weekend in store for the west coast!!! planning to surf camp the holiday weekend at Jalama or another northern SB destination to take advantage of sun and substantial WNW on tap.

Maybe the Captain will make an appearance?

Anyone else going to be in the water in the area?

funny as I thought the opposite. I've never seen another kneeboarder in SoCal or any other place I've been but NorCal. It is fun going to places frequented by those newer to surfing in NorCal as you are always sure to get a few strange looks and funny questions. ie.."what is that", "d...

flippers again

We'll I had my first sessions with flippers again and was very surprised by some results. I'm convinced now that flippers account for 6" or even more virtual board length. I found myself pulling into waves earlier than many longboarders. I've also as a result of the time without fins seen some ...
