Yea, doctor told me it was like sewing wet toilet paper back together! The atrophy sets in pretty quick and we end up loosing about 1% of muscle every 24hrs it is not being use. The worse part about that as it takes twice as long to get it back. Anyway, movement is a good thing without weight on it ...

Mr. Fin, I’m not sure exactly where your tear was, but I tore my Achilles 3yrs ago and have recovered pretty much 100%! I tore mine at the insertion where the tendon attaches just under the heel. I was told that it’s the second worse tear that you can have and the only thing worse was the same tear,...

Get ready...
Surf has been good, but the rains have been pretty heavy yet cleared for the final.

See ya

Big Guy Boards

I'm just a little guy, but I do know a couple of things about bigger boards! If you are looking for a good starter board for your size, I have a Blast quad 6'-1" rounded pintail in very good shape that we bought for a friend of mine who is a little bigger than you, but he decided that kneeboard...

HB Northside was going nutty today!
Four hour session through the tide change. 4-6ft with a couple 8ft sets. We had a clean up set break about 25yds just inside Ruby's.
Good day of good barrels and it looks like more to come tomorrow.
Get it while it's here!

Ler,
Got out of the water at 5:45pm tonight after a great session on South Side! The bowl is finally doing its thing. Good barrels to be had!
I may join you guys, but i'm heading up north for a few days to surf w/ the family, so not sure if i'll see you or not.
If not, you know what to do :)

Monday HB Northside

Ler,
Monday was even better I think! Santa Ana winds, not to strong and overhead surf made the barrels on Northside perfect!
Danny Robertson and I had a blast trading waves at lunch w/ each of us geting some really deep pits and laughing the entire time.
Wish you were there :)

I can arrange a tent, product and just about anything we will need to make it happen along with the other guys pitching in. Also, I'm back in town so let's ...
