How to even find the words to describe today’s surf session?  It was easily one of the best sessions I’ve ever had.  I was trying to remember other sessions that could compare.  (Two came to mind: 1. the super foggy day at el porto a few months ago and 2. a trip Josh and I [...]

I know I keep saying that every day is epic lately, but today was an A+.  The wave size and shape was great (not stellar, but great).  There were some straight up close outs, but close outs weren’t the majority and when you did lock into a line, it was a fast, super charged ride [...]

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 Revolver.  [...]
