First paddle out with Donnie in quite a while.  And the first time I’ve been out since the Sunday Super Session.  He had the day off, so we leisurely made our way up to Taco Bell Reed on 9th Street in Huntington.  There was just a slight breeze, the water was cool, the clouds were [...]

Brandon, Donnie and I hedged all our bets today in the hopes of finding more than the recent 1-2s.  As I’m sure you know all the reports are indicating that we are going to get some of the good stuff this weekend.  All the sites predicted “hints” of the coming swell over the course of [...]

Surfline called for the same conditions today as yesterday.  So Donnie and I though we’d try our longboards today to see if it made much difference.  The waves were the same – all size and no strength.  But with the longboards we were able to paddle into a bit more than yesterday and we were [...]

My Spherical Revolver made its triumphant return to the ocean today!  Unfortunately, the swell didn’t quite cooperate.  The waves were good size today, but like yesterday they just didn’t have the umph to pick us up.  The waves would roll up and look all delicious.  Donnie and I would be tempted by their siren song [...]

Originally I had gone down to the pier to take some photos of Kelly Slater in his first heat at the US Open. (Keep track of the heats here.  Live video coming on Thursday.)  But then a wicked fog bank rolled in and the competitions got stalled.  I waited for it to lift for a [...]

Can you feel it?  Can you feel the swell building?  Oh Jack Lordy, things are going to get nuts and they are going to get nuts quick.  The Oakley iPhone App predicted 1-3 today in Huntington.  Donnie and I went out at 9th Street to steer clear of the pier since the US Open is [...]

Donnie and I went out to the same spot at the same time today to try and recapture yesterday’s glory.  Although I was too lazy to fix the leash on my shortboard, so I took out the Quatro. It was a bit more sectiony today than yesterday.  So the rides weren’t quite as long, but [...]

Donnie just got back from Maui and called me wanting to jump back into the water. I was in. But most of today’s adventure happened before we even got into the water (which was cold!). First while packing up the boards in Donnie’s truck the bungee cord slipped and clanged off the rail on my [...]

My bike rack broke last week.  So I was off to Harbour to pick up a new on.  On the way, while driving on PCH, the waves looked fun and the sun was out, so I stopped for a quick surf session. Luckily I happened t have the Spherical Revolver in the car and a [...]
