After Sacred Craft Peter and I were at a total loss as to where to go to surf as neither of us had ever surfed in San Diego popper. But we hopped on the freeway and followed any sing reading “Beaches.” Eventually we found ourselves in Ocean Beach. I’ve actually been to Ocean Beach twice…
Despite some surprise traffic around Camp Pendleton, Peter and I finally made our way to Sacred Craft. It was like walking into surf shangri-la: longboards, shortboard, funboards, quads, thusters, singles, wood, fiberglass, epoxy, experimental, asymetrical…! Where do you even start? Pre-apologize, except for this one phone from the entrance, I was so dazzled by everything…
Peeb and I planned to head down to the Sacred Craft show today. But we figured we’d make it a whole surf day since we were taking the time to drive all the way down to San Diego. The plan was to surf, go to the show and then surf again, with the caveat that…
This may not even technically count as a surf session. The waves were 1-2, and the 2 is being very generous. I really didn’t expect anything, but it was still disheartening. But I put the Merlin in the water a few towers down from the pier and did a lap to the pier and back. …
The US Open of Surfing has finally left town. Well sort of, they are still tearing down all the buildings and grandstands. While I do love when this circus comes every year and I enjoy being able to ride my bike down to watch pro surfers battle it out I don’t like having to give…
Donnie and I were finally able to get our schedules aligned to have ourselves a long overdue summer longboard session. When we arrived at Bolsa Chica it looked like shorebreak was going to be the name of the game. But the tide had just hit its high and was starting to recede, so it was…
NEW VIDEO! I’ll disclose right from the get-go that this video is sub par. After such a dry spell, I’d been waiting for some sort of magical day to get a new video out. I’m tired of waiting and wanted to get back on track with the videos. So we give you: Episode 15: No…
Surfline claimed 2-4 and Fair. But after the last few days’ reports being off by so much, I didn’t expect much. I took the Merlin out again because I feel we haven’t properly bonded yet and I’m going to keep taking her out until our grooves sync. Today was a step in the right direction….
I was invited by the great guys over at Harbour Surf Shop to attend a screening of the latest On Surfari episode Haiti hosted by Shayne McIntyre at the Harbour shop. It was wild, they transformed the shop into a mini-theater and packed in as many people as they could. The shop was filled with…
I think I may have Greg’s Curse. It could be that there hasn’t been a good swell in a while or could be something else, but I think I have the voodoo stink on me. This explains why I’ve not had anyone to surf with in so long, why I’ve botched the easiest of meet…
