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…
Since we’ve been producing this site we have (no surprise) become much more aware of other surf videos out there. We love checking out other people’s work, other people’s breaks and other people’s styles. One of our tweeps, Ryan Struck, has been posting some awesome surf footage from New Jersey lately. Just wanted to share…
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. …
Once again, apologies faithful readers. My computer decided to go on strike today. We are going to the negotiating table this weekend with Sam Jackson as the Negotiator. Hopefully this week’s video will be waiting for you as a bright Monday morning surprise. (Luckily my iPhone belongs to a different union, so at least I…
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…
