When are we switching over?

I don't know about the islands but if you announced an over 45 standup contest here (santa cruz) that includes just about everyone in the water. Push it up to over 75 if you want a more reasonable num ...

I'd love to give it a try again though.. Anytime, OG, I'd love to trade off with you and try one of yours. Maybe I should come up to O.B.

I guess the HPD must ride a lot different than other boar ...

Dang! Lots of opinions on this topic, I think arched back gives you some better view, and I'm with Rod on the problem of too much spray in the face messing up the vision. But my first thought was may ...

If I ever get a tattoo it wil ...

Aside from looking awesome while walking around the house, why would I want to wear these?

No really, I have missed these fins c ...

I posted pics too. (but what a pain!)

Hey Spudnut,
I use a body boarding style hold - one hand on nose and one on side for the most leverage. The key for me is too stay very mobile on the board, I shift the board forward and back a lot ...

Wow! Very enjoyable. Some of the best paipo footage I've seen. I particularly like some of the shots near the end with the camera reversed. Artistic and really gives the feeling of what it's like ...
