Congrats on your business, always admired folks who can run their own business. Maybe one day I'll get there..

Dawn patrol has been my go to time to surf w/work and family. I don't like strictly...

priceless thread..good for some laughs on a Friday..mine is a little emabarassing, swung my board around to catch a wave and the shadow of my board freeked me out since it appeared something had just...

Crowds are good practice..like manuvering through cones on a raceway.

Most moods I'm not into crowds, unless I know a few people at that spot at the time, than we can keep it fun.

But people...

So a few weeks ago the ocean front get's trashed and some people get ticketed...757 goes surfing enjoying the ocean, being respectful gets ticketed - the irony

Just saw the end of this thread booooooooooooooooooo

Great pics, I read the book Longboarder's Startup by Doug Werner which featured the Roy Stuart boards along with some great info/tips.
I was "learned much" about trim on take-offs

Here are my cornhole boards...7591 not to hijack the thread - those other pics are great

Friend of mine at work did these up and afterwards he wished he charged me more! haha

I thought the thread was about this

The fact you live in California is bonus for one and ditto to what everyone else is saying.

Try popping up on your knees (or one knee) a few times before jumping to your feet (in the same...

Ditto,

maybe just maybe do a dawn patrol and you may get nice long board waves,

best bet is just keep driving south

I want to be the Laird Hamilton of the east coast, surf jaws in Monmouth county, get barreled in the heavy waves of the pipeline in Rodanthe, charter me a boat and go out 100 miles off VA and find 60...

salt water dehydrates, after I surf I sometimes get indigestion or feels like it - burps, from accidently drinking the salt..

drink lots of water, pee in wetsuit- check

LOL good one McLovin,

just when I started to believe VA had no waves, let me grab my wavejet 10' w/onboard heater

Thicker than water, great footage and sound track (thanks to Jack Johnson), endless summer is old but a classic, those dudes Mike Hynson and Robert August attitudes is great.

You don't need sympathy, call it as I see it, complete bull, the police could have confiscated it or turned them around. Why didn't US customs warn them? odd --I've been to Mexico (when I lived in...

When I'm in the water the only thing on my mind is the wave I'm trying to catch, when I walk out of the drink it's back to life and reality.

Kind of what you said zaGaffer

One day when I grow up (joke here) I'd like to surf Hawaii especially after reading Saltwater Buddha by Jaimal Yogis. Just looking at those pics gives me butterflies.
I think its cool that most...

Agree, that's what I usually do and I think that sandbar hasn't been that far off the jetty recently- there are other places in VAB to go when its good. You just end up driving further south/north...

Surfing at dawn is definitely gratifying, after a DP session feel like I'm good for the day-don't need to do anything else , unless the dreaded yardwork :) , less crowds, unmatched scenery for...

Too eloquent for SJB !

Def agree, Laird is a waterman, and liked The Wave book...SUPs are pretty big in Hawaii where he lives. I rented a SUP in Key West and it was fun and a good workout(no waves...

What has worked for me is punching through the white water or doing the push up and let the water run through. I ride a 9' x 21" x 2.5" little on the sleek side for a longboard. I'm trying to duck...

What false shark reports? I thought those were real last year :O...I don't think paved walkways is anything to get worked up over...but agree maybe they are pandering to tourists plus its unnatural,...

Here in VAB it's been all trunks for about a couple weeks. One thing I've also noticed (in my opionion) is how blue / clearer the water has been compared to last year. I know we're not lucky with...

Haha, good one smithfield...
-"I'm going to Costa Rica for the first time. Should I get a rental car or ride a donkey into town?"

something I always wanted to ask was afraid to!

Looks like I found my next board, should I use it in 1-2ft very poor conditions?
