Aloha Friday 411:: Jaws (aka Pe’ahi)
Women's Surf Camp27 Jan 2012 | 8:37 amIn a nutshell: The biggest wave surfed in the world each year has been at Jaws more than any other place. Minuses: The access road can be 4WD?Sound-bite: [crashing waves, cheers and helicopters] If you’re a fan of big-wave tow-in surfing, Jaws is a must-see if you are visiting when one of our winder North Shore monster swells come in. Tow-in surfing is when the waves are so large that the only way a pro surfer can get in to them (in one piece, anyway) is to be skillfully towed in, and dropped off, via Jet Ski. Jaws is Maui’s biggest tow-in surfing wave, and the yearly Billabong XXL… -

The accident happened during a training session in Utah. During a routine trick, Sarah landed on her feet, then fell shortly after which caused the impact to the head.

Flotsam and Jetsam
21 Jan 2012 | 6:50 amThe surf world has been swirling the last week with all kinds of interesting flotsam and jetsam. From drug testing to Tebowing to a surf-related arrest in Chicago that somehow involves Kelly Slater, see if you can find any rhyme or reason to these loosely connected surf stories. The only theme I see is that surfing is becoming more and more saturated by outside influences and and further spread out among the cultural landscape....Read Full Post -
Sound Waves
14 Jan 2012 | 9:33 amMusic and surfing are inseparable. Their kinship goes back to the ukulele no doubt as Hawaiians recomposed amidst post-olo board sessions (picture Eddie and Clyde Aikau chillin' around a fire after a Waimea session, ukulele and some cold ones in hand) , but the term "surf music" waxed electric a generation later as Californian beach culture exploded. 1960's acts like Duane Eddy and The Ventures developed the instrumental rhythms that would stoke legions of surfers. The sound was honed to perfection by Dick Dale and exploded in beautiful absurdity via The Surfaris' "Wipeout." While the… -

No matter how you slice it, a day off is an excuse to go surfing, but it's flat. So what now?...Read Full Post -

Wellness Wednesdays:: 11 Goals to Aim For to Help Slow Down Aging
25 Jan 2012 | 8:00 am11 Goals to Aim For to Help Slow Down Aging 1) Avoid eating white food- that means white sugar, white bread, white potatoes or white milk from a black and white cow. 2) Bye Bye Booze. Perhaps a glass of wine 2-3 times a month. 3) Sleeeeeeeeeep. All you have to do is lie down and do nothing for 8 hours. 4) Vitamin C: Vitamin C keeps the skin elasticy and unwrinkled. Also helps us manage stress. 5) Get loads of sunshine! Stay hidden during highest heat but I let that sunshine in! 6) Cut back on toxins on the skin. Look for non-toxic cream, moisturizer, makeup, or suncreeen. 100% edible… -

Celebrity deaths make me feel old

Recently, we learned that Gary Carter, the catcher for the Expos and Mets, has brain cancer, and things don’t look good. (Here’s a nice SI piece about him.) And today I learned that Robert Hegyes, the actor who played Epstein on “Welcome Back, Kotter” — one of my favorite shows as a kid — died today. Hard to imagine that one of the Sweathogs was 60. As a tribute, I’m posting the great theme song to that show… -
The Rubes guitar is no bull

But a cow-inspired guitar designed by Rubes cartoonist Leigh Rubin is guaranteed to shake your udders. Rubin, the syndicated cartoonist who lives in Nipomo, is sort of partial to cows. After all, many of his strips, which you can read in the Tribune every day, feature the bouvine beauties in curious situations. But a while back Rubin decided it might be fun to paint one of his cow creations on a guitar. So he acquired a couple of Ernie Ball Music Man electrics… -
Time to stop feeling sorry for the music business
24 Jan 2012 | 3:27 pmRemember how we were supposed to feel sorry for people in the dying music business? Well, as Cee Lo Green might say, forget* that. Because what they said was that the music business had been crippled, first by file sharing, then by declining album sales, then by Internet sites like YouTube and so forth. Of course, the music industry itself never took any of the blame — you know, like, for signing horrible acts and cramming them down our throats or for jacking up the price of CDs, most of which only had one half-decent song. It was always our fault. But then I read, during her… -
Big swell over the weekend
23 Jan 2012 | 11:24 amWe had some howling wind, hard rains and big, stormy swell over the weekend. So I opted out of surfing. But Jay Thompson, former Trib copy editor, was at the beach in Morro Bay yesterday and instantly sent over some pics, which I’ve posted here. As his pics show, there were some guys out. But the waves looked punishing. Up the coast, a few guys were catching some real bombs, as you can see on Mike Jones’s Azhiaziam site. The forecast calls for pretty good-sized swell through most of the week. Then it will back down over the weekend. -

I prefer Lanes anyways cause I don't really care for going right. Light winds and there were photogs on the bluff so I'm hoping for a couple shots to be posted later today. Took a couple sneaker sets on the head, easily DOH+ but it breaks in pretty deep water so a board ditch and dive worked fine. -
Helpin Out a Sistah
23 Jan 2012 | 7:17 amMary has broken her leg badly. She is in pain and in need of your help. Because she lives in the most advanced and wealthiest country on Earth she is not able to access free medical health care.Let's raise some money so that, at the least, we, her friends, can collectively relieve some of the stress and despair that is no doubt going through her mind as she contemplates the very real and tough decisions that come with trying to pay ridiculous costs in a land that cries freedom and then shackles the 99% with prohibitive health care costs.

Venetia plies her superior trade in courts that harbour "the illusion that the passions of men were -

19 Jan 2012 | 9:56 amThe House of Commons Transport Committee have very recently published its follow up report on the cost of motor insurance. One of the matters it covered was whiplash claims and it said in particular that it was "not convinced that a diagnosis [of whiplash] unsupported by further evidence of injury or personal inconvenience arising from the injury should be sufficient for a claim to be settled.

Matunas the original organic surf wax, fights back
24 Jan 2012 | 4:52 amLast year a European wax brand called Green Fix, commissioned a report to test the validity of all the surfboard waxes on the market which had claims to organic constituents and one of the brands which they cast doubt over was Matunas. The move was clearly a commercial sabotage attempt which Matunas have recently answered by engaging an independent Lab to test their wax, which came back proving that their wax was completely organic.

Archy Built For Speed - Surf Movie
18 Jan 2012 | 3:00 amArchy Built for SpeedArchy Built for Speed Archy Built for Speed A great movie, showing the life of one of surfing true legends. A lot of younger people won't remember Archy when he was on the circuit, but this is a movie that will suit any age. The good times and the bad, Archy had them all, but always pulled through with his 'I don't care what people think' approach. One thing Archy says about pro surfing in the movie is that in pro surfing you had to pump the board at the end and ride the whitewash....Archy's comment was "why would you do that?" -

Friday, 1/27/12 at 7:30 am PST
27 Jan 2012 | 9:36 amMystery waves lay beyond a fading layer of fog. Who knows what shape or form those waves might possess? Odds are, at the current low tide, the surf is somewhere in the head high to slightly larger range with some crossed-up shape. Potential for things to improve throughout the day and for the fog to lift and reveal some ridable surf. Right now, its anybody’s guess.

Thursday, 1/26/12 at 8:00AM PST
26 Jan 2012 | 10:27 amLooks like a marshmallow in a snowbank out there right now. Visibility is good just up to the whitewater dribble at the shoreline while the foghorn continues its drone. However, one can surmise from the amount of foam on the beach and the buoy readings that there’s a lot of energy moving around and considerable size beyond the whitewater. Light southwest winds are probably putting a nice sidechop and texture on it so, all in all, a blind OB paddle is not where it’s at this morning. Related posts:SF Buoy Currently Out of Commission -

25 Jan 2012 | 9:28 amI’m not sure who is more confused, me or the ocean. There’s no wind, swell in the water, and yet, the waves are not cooperating. A few shoulder to head high corners could be picked out on the outer bar, but they seemed few and far between. Shape and overall conditions could improve as we head towards a mid-day high tide with light winds and sunny skies in the forecast (keep your fingers crossed).

A surfer that really surfs and breathes the lifestyle, not just the same air as the masses, then, you are totally fucked with relationships. Our culture promotes the essence of selfishness. We engage in quite possibly one of the most self interested activities and it sports a lot of interested parties that do not actually have the ability to do it well.

Bobby was right.
5 Jan 2012 | 2:27 amA few months ago, in September, during the Quiksilver Pro New York, Bobby Martinez stepped on the beach, soggy and sour about the ASP’s decision to have a mid-season drop off for surfers on tour. Bobby had just killed it in his heat but had a bitter taste in his mouth. A microphone sits in front of his face awaiting some typical politician-like lies about how awesome the waves were and how happy he is to have the opportunity to be at the event. But they forget, Bobby doesn’t follow the rules. He rants about how stupid the new tour rules are and how he feels no surfers on the tour… -
Dane, Mauro and fins-free freedom.
30 Dec 2011 | 4:22 pmNow that the year 2011 is coming to a close I thought I’d touch briefly on a subject that intrigued me earlier this evening. The idea stems from two recent surfing-related articles I’ve read today. The first one is by a seasoned surf writer, a guy that everyone loves to hate, Chris Mauro. The second one is by an editor at Surfing Magazine, Taylor Paul. First, I must admit that I did enjoy both articles. Mauro’s view on Dane Reynolds’ exit from the world stage and entrance into hipster hibernation had to piss at least someone off and Mauro’s willingness to go out… -
Damn Yankees
27 Dec 2011 | 3:29 pmToday I decided I would highlight a seldom sought after surf destination: Massachusetts. I was lucky enough to be in Massachusetts during the month of September for some work thanks to that bitch Hurricane Irene. A quick text message put me back in contact with two friends I had not seen in 3 or 4 years. I was stoked because I was alone on this work trip and when my friend Brendan O’Brien answered my text he said something along the lines “Come crash the couch, Patriots opening game this weekend!” They love sports in the Boston area and believe it or not, being from around… -

2 Jan 2012 | 12:43 amHi SUPers, It has been 15 exciting months trying to build the biggest Stand Up Paddle user review community.

South Wales Surf Adventure
27 Jan 2012 | 5:41 amThe first installment of the web series “Balls Deep In Pembs” filmed at Tenby South earlier this month follows a group of surfers as they go hunting for waves in this beautiful coastal spot on the South Wales coast. That’s South Wales as in red rugby shirts and formerly goverened in a non-governing sense by Princess Diana and not the South Wales coast of Yellow Australian rugby shirts goverened by her ex mother in law. It’s a lovely spot, full of great pubs and I once had occassion to smoke a spliff in a cliffs bluff on a wind blown night surrounded by sheep… but… -
George Greenough Surf Short Must Watch
26 Jan 2012 | 7:19 amGeorge Greenough and the Korduroy Team have put together a beautiful bit of film here. Enough to get you through your Thursday and ready for the weekend waves at any rate. Take a seat in an old classic car as it navigates between the sand dunes and great waves accompanied by Shannon Sol Carroll on the musciathon 2000 (or music as some like to call it). George Greenough + sea movies = Legend. Happy Thursday. -
Colin Deveze Shreds To Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The kids got talent that’s for sure. He reminds me of myself at that age… only he’s much better and doesn’t have a sideline flogging candy behind the school bike sheds – well that I know of anyway. Still there’s probably time. The trick is to buy at the cash and carry and inflate your price by 20 to 50%. Lush. Everyone’s a winner. And that’s it for today’s kid corruption surf tips tutorial.

Shark Finning Sucks Big Balls And Why We Should Stop It
24 Jan 2012 | 7:23 amDue to the increased demand for Shark Fin Soup over the past decade the incidence of shark finning is ever increasing in number. Some humans are showing themselves to be the real monsters of the deep with sharks having good reason to fear man more than man has to fear from sharks (cue blatant plug for the Man Vs Shark infographic I made). And if you’re still not convinced watch this video and try not to cry big hot, wet tears of despair for our short sighted ways of treating these amazing creatures. In short some humans suck big balls. -
Help A Fellow Surfer In Her Hour Of Need – Surf Sista Appeal
22 Jan 2012 | 6:21 amCalling all friends of Surf Sista, AKA, Surfmeister columnist and all round great gal. Surf Sista recently broke her leg and needs an operation to repair the damage. She does not, alas, have medical insurance with her job so she is facing a major problem. As such I’ve set up a fund to help Surf Sista pay for her operation. Being a Brit I can’t believe the costs you guys in the USA face without insurance so I have kicked the fund off. Please dig deep and help Mary out. Give whatever you can as collectively we can help ease some of the stress this must be causing. All the money goes…

27 Jan 2012 | 1:03 pmEXCERPT #1 from TWEAKIN' on BOARDS with RYAN BURCH from R.T. on Vimeo. Ryan Burch is a great surfer. There are some VERY fun looking waves here, and his skills are demonstrated on various boards. It would be nice to be as talented as that at surfing. I wish the board information stayed up longer int he video, but he does talk you through the boards he rides. I would like to have his board shed....with all the boards in it. Happy Friday. -

Surf Shop Wednesday - Olde Naples Surf Shop
25 Jan 2012 | 12:38 pmI have been to Naples, and it is great to see a core shop amongst the more touristy trappings. These guys have been around some time with a true love and devotion to the ocean. They have all the toys you need - Skim, Surf, or Skate. Their site is clean, easy to navigate, and they even have a custom surf report. The shop is classy and carries a lot of great brands, along with boards by local shapers. Check out their site - OLDE NAPLES SURF SHOP - and "Like" them on Facebook. -

24 Jan 2012 | 6:42 pmPatrick Smith is a master manipulator of a camera. As my friend Johnny Beutler, an exceptional photographer in his own right, says, "He is a bender of light." These photos are of places dear to me - Hanalei Bay on Kauai and the Central Coast of California. Mr. Smith does a great job of showcasing the beauty of each place while highlighting its distinct qualities. Check out all of his photography at his website. They are VERY worthy of wall space in a home or office. -
Shaper Monday - The Internet and Surf Trips
23 Jan 2012 | 12:40 pmThe Internet has made planning a surf trip easier. From booking a flight, hotel, surf conditions check, and even predicting a swell. I have many friends who have taken numerous trips to Costa Rica. Costa Rica sounds my speed for surf and for location. No endless flights and thoughts of fighting for a great spot with 18 other boats checking the same spot. So, I popped online to look into surf trips in Costa Rica and found a great place in Real Surf Trips. They have great looking accommodation, point breaks and beach break, healthy food, yoga classes (though I…

10 Tips for Dealing with Large Ships & Powerboats.
27 Jan 2012 | 12:10 pmLast week, I spoke to a woman who mentioned her husband doesn't want to paddle in Puget Sound as he was spooked by the large ships. I assured her that unless her husband was paddling 3 miles out in the shipping lanes when a large freighter or tanker happened to be passing by, then there's nothing to worry about. That said, if he was out there when a ship is passing there's a few things to keep in mind.. - Freighters, tankers and similarly large fast moving ships take several miles to stop. They can't stop for you, thus you simply need to stay out of their way. - Rules of the road in most… -
10 Wheels for SUPs
24 Jan 2012 | 5:00 pmOne of the biggest issues with owning a SUP is carrying it. Last summer those renting boards from a surf shop by my house in Seattle had a 300 yard carry to the beach which included having to scurry across a busy two lane arterial with no crosswalk. I still remember the expressions on the faces of the renters as they got to the beach and realized if it was a minus tide day, their trek just got 100 yards longer. The shop rarely instructed their customers how to carry boards a long distance and provided none of the many wheeled options for SUPs. Boards were often dragged by their rails across… -

6 Break Down Paddles for SUPs
23 Jan 2012 | 4:24 pmThere's nothing worse than travelling to a holiday vacation spot to find out the only rental options are those heavy plastic or aluminum paddles with nearly straight angled blades. Break down paddles are also a wise choice to carry with you on an expedition. You can tuck them under your deck tie-downs or stuff them in a backpack. Carrying two piece kayak paddles is also a good idea if you get tired of standing and/or need to sit for a long upwind paddle. I've interviewed several expedition paddlers who have broken paddles on trips. It does happen. There's several companies that make 2 piece… -
Gear Tie-Downs for SUPs
22 Jan 2012 | 7:24 pmAs the sport of SUP grows, more folks are wanting to explore on long day trips, simple overnights and in come case on long expeditions. Most SUPs come with no way to tie or secure any gear to your board. Some have deck leash plugs on the nose and a few have waterproof hatches to put gear inside. Here's 5 few options for solving the problem of where to put your gear.. Most secure and less obstrustive - Leash Plugs Leash plugs are glassed in to your board thus are the most secure. Even with rope or bungy tied to the plugs, the plugs are less obstrusive if you stand on them. The only issue is…

Matunas the original organic surf wax, fights back
24 Jan 2012 | 4:52 amLast year a European wax brand called Green Fix, commissioned a report to test the validity of all the surfboard waxes on the market which had claims to organic constituents and one of the brands which they cast doubt over was Matunas. The move was clearly a commercial sabotage attempt which Matunas have recently answered by engaging an independent Lab to test their wax, which came back proving that their wax was completely organic. Check out the press release from Matunas below: Matunas Cold... mmm fruity A number of surf wax brands including Matunas surf wax based in Santa Cruz, California… -

Maintain the health of our oceans by doing something that requires almost no effort. Next time you leave the beach, visiting, surfing, or spectating, pick up some trash on your way out.

In addition the amazing pictures of food are always fun to look at. If only I was a world class cook. In addition, the photography is just amazing and it is a great way to share your favorite surfing pictures. -

The ASP Dream Tour
24 Jan 2012 | 9:56 pmMany are beginning to question the ASP World Tour and whether it really is the "Dream Tour" I mean in some ways it is. For example, the accommodations for the pro surfers and the amount of prize money at each event has increased substantially. But with tour stops in New York and San Francisco this past year, it often has the appearance that we have strayed away from holding contests in the best and most consistent surf spots in the world. With rumors foating around of different "alternative" tours with big prize purses and some of the best waves around it will be exciting to see how the ASP… -
