Opps, forgot to give the NSFW warning! I'll edit a warning in there.
I went to Blacks last week and it was firing! Pretty crazy. No where in SD was getting any swell. Pleasantly, surprised ! Let's do it!

Nice man, Blacks used to be the only wave that I would surf and now it's the only wave that I don't surf. Love that place.
I found some footage from our trip to W. Samoa. I assume most everyone else's crew is the same way, when the waves are good no one wants to video so these are from the mediocre session during our trip. Plus there was a lot of unusable footage that was taken from the boat that was rock n rolling so it was too shaky to use

HT, furthest north part of north county was really good this morning. Tropical swell and pretty peaky, saw many barrels but didn't find any myself. I might hit it again tomorrow but I'm not expecting there to be quite as many nugs rolling through

Few more pics from where I'd rather be
"shore break", surf, best wave I've ever been to with morning sickness, local scene, hardcore board, taxi
^I need to go to Indo, It's #1 on my list to go but hasn't happened yet.
So sick! @2min i get all gitty... I'm still trying to figure out getting barrell. I've gotten to that feathering part, but thats when i get lipped!
My buddy Mike started making these Mini Simmons with a quad setup. He's a legend, so I'm pretty blown away by the $600 with fins sticker price on these!!! (probably, for the base model w/o the crazy space graphics)
Mike Slingerland's "Space Bar"
edit: sorry, that's a twin... here's the quad
Those are definitely some sick barrels, stuff I dream about. :)
Where you been surfing HT? Sometimes you just need the right wave to roll through to figure out the barrel. Not that I have it figured out to the slightest degree
Aye, just saw this and thought it had to be posted in this stoke thread. If I could only catch 1 of these in my life, I'd be more than satisfied

Pretty sure it's from surfline
usually pipes, george's...
trying to avoid crowds this summer. I have this little peak at the campgrounds that no one is ever at. Super fun!
Nice, empty peaks rule. I got back in the lineup for a few sessions recently if you want to hit it up soon.
Finding some shade is one my favorites places to visit, when I'm lucky enough to find some

Check out the Body Glove video. it's the last one on this page. wont let me embed the clip itself.
Oh man, that might be the ultimate shoulder hopping smack down
...The new temporary bridge to access Hatteras Island opens Tuesday.
I'm sure the locals who've had it to themselves (generally speaking minus the boat trips from all the townies) love this being posted .

Here's an edit I put together for the Billabong XXL awards. It only played during the live show, so aside from this link it'll probably never see the light of day.

^^^ That was great! Thanks. Towner's under-gunned wreck at Cloudbreak was my personal favorite this year.
^^^I liked it.
Winter is coming

I don't know if this generates any stoke...but gotta say that's some attitude!

My buddy at Fresh Pineapples just shaped me this board. Go giver a peak! it's a 5'8" quad but it's super fat. It's called "The Chunk" inspired by some of the old school single fins.
wouldn't be complete without a shot of me looking like a douche!

^^^ Super Chunk! Though the stringer looks a bit off center, sure she'll be a blast. Quad you say?
Speaking of super chunk, anyone ever tried a Mini Simmons shape?
I think that it is a little off by about 1mm, but it's hand shaped by one of the youngest shapers in the game. He's been working as an apprentice under Bill "Shros" Shrosbee
The concept with this one was to allow bigger wave performance by keeping the same positive features of the short board, but my giving it the extra foam you can still get it into the small day rollers that are typical of North San Diego County.
Going to ride it today and possibly get a few pictures. I'll keep it updated!
I've been wanting to try out a Mini Simmons. This was inspired by a mini simmons type board, without the eggy shape. it's a thrust/quad, or a quad with one of Slater's new guitar picks, haha
