This morning I woke up early because my dog decided it was time to get up. He put his head on the bed and just kept breathing his nose-breath in my face until I got up. So I packed up the bike and headed down to Huntington City beach. I went out right in front…
I had the Green Machine custom made for step two in my learning process. I’d been surfing for about a year at this point with Elwood and was ready to bring the size down a bit and bring the maneuverability up. This poor thing has really taken a beating. I still had plenty of learning…
The Pumpkin Seed (Pepito) was a birthday gift from my lovely wife. This is the shortest board I own (and probably the shortest I’ll ever go). The sweetest feature on this short board is the width and float. Both tend to be a bit more than your usual short board which gives a little extra…
The Spherical Revolver was a super lucky find. For years I have been going to Harbour Surf Shop for all my repairs and equipment. (The staff there is great and incredibly helpful.) And for years I had been drooling over the Revolver model. But Harbour boards are not cheap and I never ponied up the…
Harbour Surf Shop is having their 50th anniversary this year (2009). All boards shaped this year will get a special 50th anniversary logo. I’ve been wanting a Harbour board for as long as I’ve been hanging out at the shop (since 2005). I told the guys at the shop my intent to buy and being…
All the guys arrived at El Porto only to find 1s and 2s at best. Josh had a hunch that Venice might be better and that we should head up and find out. So we all piled into our cars and travelled a few miles up the coast. At Venice, the wind was much more…
Waves not quite as good as yesterday, but still good. 3-4 footers, but nothing much over that at the end of the sets like yesterday. And the rip was extra strong today. I started out on the south side of the pier and by the time I got out I was at 9th Street. But…
Yesterday, after my Jackass-like session (I should have had someone donkey punch me to soften the blow), I made my way up to Harbour to pick up my new bike rack. (See bike rack review). I installed the rack which claimed to be able to carry boards up to 10 feet. So, I grabbed 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…
