WAVES!

Hey ! It feels like summer out there. Yesterday I paddled out in a WEST 3/2 with NO BOOTIES & NO GLOVES! It was f*cking perfect!! Putting aside the side shore semi-blown out (not really lining up) conditions I had a blast! My 5'6 fish saved the day again. Turned some mediocre waves into rippable sloppy mushy fun. I LOVE TAILSLIDES. Some how that 5'6 gets in the air every time I ride it.....someone told me pigs would fly if I landed an air on that thing (hence the flying pig on the bottom) well this 5'6 pig nosed fish has been getting more than enough flight time under its' belt. Yet another victory over doubtful minds. You gotta believe to achieve!

The Flatspell

Oh man, it's here. We're used to active weather patterns throughout the winter and then all of a sudden WHAM! Like a ton of bricks all momentum carried through the cold months either gets amplified for an EPIC spring or...well...let's face it.....it gets flat as a lake(right now). Our only hope of a ripple is weeks away.....well folks, all I can do is pick up my skateboard, ditch the skate shoes, don' the Chuck Taylors and improve my balance 10-fold. You see...skate shoes increase your balance...and we all know Chuck Taylors are the equivilent to putting condoms on your feet....so hell why not add a little extra consiquence to the joy of flying around on pavement. Consequence..yes....something surfers HATE dealing with...how many of you shred the gnar get scraped up and then put your bacteria infested wetsuit on with open wounds? It's not JUST about surfing..it's about riding in general...If you can find a way to ride without waves...well you've got it made through these long heartless flatspells....I'm gonna go do some 360 to fakie Indy grabs now and play some crazy jammed out punk funk jazz whatever you wanna call it. We're under ground, we never have a plan but it all comes together. Pray that oil slick out there in the gulf gets resolved! It is predicted to drift around the East Coast of Florida after all...... : /
