I've surfed Santa Cruz in the winter. My training advice, skip the beer and go straight to the rum. Start at 9 am for appropriate acclimatization and that warm inner glow ...

Mark and Dan did an insane job and there was SO MUCH Food and Good company and decent waves even! I know they didn't have anything to do with the waves other than their outstandingly good karma. Anyway, they did a great job and thanks, guys. Nice to see such a good turnout, too. We really had the st...

Looks like it might still be good on Sunday. Friday morning I was out at Windansea with a remarkably small crowd, glassy and definitely overhead, some fast sections, and some weird flat sections on account of the high tide and crossed up peaks (south and NW).

I've had both, and I prefer wax. I never like a really scooped deck, either. I found it too confining, i.e. "put your knees here." I find that my knees tend to be positioned in a lot of different ways on the board depending on the wave and how I'm going. Pads are less confining and can be ...

Mark, EQ, and Tony have made some very good points. I'd like to add one more. There's all kinds of exploitation, some of it obvious, some not so. And none of us can count our respective countries (USA, Australia, Great Britain, S. Africa, to name a few represented here) as having been fair in our de...

Oh yeah, Bolsa Chica, a really exotic high quality surf spot, and a guaranteed international draw. Let me be sure to pack my tire tread sandals ... :D As to Tavarua, I'd go. I understand the political/ethical/moral problems, and I don't choose to ignore them but rather not condemn the tactics of the...

When I lived on the East coast of Florida I got up to Hatteras a couple times and the place is unreal. It's got lots more power than I'd found surfing mushburgers off of northern Florida. The left off of the jetty at the Lighthouse is super fun and powerful when it's on, although the peak gets a lit...

I've gotten leg cramps periodically for years. It doesn't seem to matter what the water temp is or whether or not I stretch. From what I understand, it's a build-up of lactic acid that causes the gastrocnemius (largest muscle in the calf) to seize up. I don't know if it's because we're kicking with ...
