Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving while we were on hiatus last week.  We all did, except for CW.  (Glad to see you are feeling better, dude.)  Here’s this week’s video.  We didn’t go to breakfast this morning, which means I had extra time to tinker today.  I think I went overboard. The longboarders owned [...]

The fog was on again.  But this time it did not deter anyone from the sweet waves like it did a few weeks ago.  On the contrary, it was about as crowded in the line up today as I’ve ever seen it at El Porto.  And the waves were superb, which really added to the [...]

Super suave superspy, Agent A, hot off his recent assignment in Costa Rica (where he saved the world again from evil doers bent on world domination), took a moment to enjoy himself in the Pacific Ocean.  Cruising the crystal clear waves on a crisp fall morning, Agent A deftly maneuvers Kruischev like an old lover.  [...]

We headed out yesterday for an early EPF session in the hopes to catch the end of the NW swell that is dissipating.  Early on in the dawn patrol there were a few decent rides, but it was clear the swell was on the outs.  By the time the sun was over the horizon the [...]

The thick fog was impressive. The surfers are smaller in this video than usual and seem to appear out of the mist.  I had to film from the shore as bobbing in the big surf and heavy fog made me a dangerous obstacle for surfers.  The best part about this video is watching how long [...]

The computer woes that plagued me all last week (and on into this week) are nearly all cleared up, enough to edit last week’s video anyway.  So, pretend it was last week where you may remember, last Friday’s waves were teeny tiny.  Rather than bring you yet another tiny wave video, we tried to step [...]

Editors Note:  This was written the day of the video.  My computer is still acting up and the video has some issues (weird bits of audio in there), but its time has come. So, imagine it’s last Friday… We had a hard time finding the waves today.  Mostly 1-2s that teased more than actually curled.  [...]

It was a great day at El Porto.  The sun was out and the water warm, glassy and clearer than I’ve ever seen it.  (Although there was a funky smell in the air.)  The water was so clear we could see 15 feet down if we could see a foot.  We even spotted a few [...]

Alright, here’s the video that nearly wound up in the Internet Ether.  I may have gone overboard with it.  Usually, I try to edit it and get it online pronto, but this time I had the clips for a whole weekend and the new iMovie ’09 to explore. The biggest news about this video (besides [...]

There were rumors buzzing on the Internets last night that some Portoers were thinking of assaulting the beaches of El Porto in a dawn patrol this morning.  Having to hear about how great it was on Tuesday, I was not about to miss out again, so I headed up to meet the bros.  Everyone had [...]

I know I keep claiming that every weeks video is the worst.  But this week, I think we’ve completed a trilogy of lame.  Hopefully this video won’t be our Return of the Jedi or Godfather III. The waves were even smaller this week – mostly knee high with the rare waist high.  But the waves [...]

What can we do with all these small days?  It’s kind of funny, actually.  Looking at the reports beforehand, surf conditions looked grim.  Driving into the parking lot, the surf still looked bleak.  Even walking out to the water, there wasn’t much hope.  Yet, while we were out there, Josh, Mike, Nabil and myself had [...]

We are always trying to up the game here and El Porto Fridays.  Well today we bring you…VIDEO!  Unfortunately we also bring you…1 FOOT WAVES!  It wasn’t much of a good surfing day at El Porto today.  But it sure did make it easier for us to test out the camera in the smaller surf.  [...]
