La Push vs. Shortys
The other day on the crapper i was cheggin out a Maxim mag. They had this versus thing in there about some random BS. Works like this item X against item Y get slotted against eachother...the winner for each topic gets a point. Points are tallied at the end and a winner is declared. Totally ridiculous to even attempt this, but I decided to run a VS. with La Push and Shortys.
Craigslist Surfboard for Sale Ad of the Day #1
Lately is seems like more and more people have been dumping their used surfboards on Craigslist. Could it be a result of the economy? Maybe +30 year old dudes realized it's too late to start surfing, or maybe there's a ring of surfboard thieves out there trying to sell hot boards on the interweb. One things is for sure...there's a lot more CL surfboard postings and they're goofy as hell. Take this example below. At first glance, this looks like a good deal. Once you get closer to the end you see the scam in this ad.
Coke Sharks
Coke subs, coke surfers and now coke sharks. Check this: The Mexican Navy nabbed a container loaded with coke filled frozen sharks. The container which originated from Puerto Limon, Costa Rica had about a ton of cocaine hidden in the sharks. Pura Vida bro.
Warrior Report
It's been a good two months of no legit surf for me. I blame this mainly on the ocean and that im overweight--aka can't surf thigh high surf like this guy. Finally i got some good waves. I thought it was one of the better sessions but was assured that it gets much better by a few headz. Solid head high, clean, and thumping. Everyone got worked. Happy Bday Hurlbut. Here's a few shots that don't do justice. Thanks LDizzle.
Piss Warm Surf in the NW
206 has been hot the last week. Real hot. The ocean could be the culprit. The NW coastal ocean temps are nearing 60°. This doesn't happen every summer but because of changing whale migratory paths. The important thing here is I just got a new 3/2 and im stoked to see how it works in 60 degree ocean.

Red Mountain Canada – New Years 2009
Myself and a few friends went up to Red Mountain BC for the New Years weekend. The drive there was gnar. Snow started in North Bend and didn’t end. At all. The 6ish hour drive to Red Mountain took quite a bit longer than expected. We arrived on day one for a half-day session. No one there and 20cm of new! It was colder n isht too. ... Read more
Costa Rica, Part 3 – Tamarindo/San Jose
Otter and i had a few days left on the Costa trip. Rather than stay in Mal Pais, we devised a plan to drive to Samara. Getting from Mal Pais to Samara during the rainy season (of which we were in the tail end) required driving quite a ways inland and around a little mtn. range rather than driving along the coast. According to all the locals we talked... Read more
Costa Rica, Part 2 – Mal Pais/Santa Teresa
After about four days in one place i started getting antsy and decided to bail. Pavones was hands down the mellowest place we hit on the Costa trip–and leaving when it was overhead didn’t seem right but we bailed anyways. Alex the taxi guy picked us up at 4am and we b-lined it to the airport in Golfito. The game plan was to fly back... Read more
Otter and i just got back from a 2 week stint in Costa Rica. We caught the tail end of the rainy season in every place we went around the country – Tamarindo, Samara, Santa Teresa/Mal Pais. We started in Pavones. We got to San Jose late in the evening 9/22 and posted up at the Hotel Villa Bonita. The place is affordable but not super cheap,... Read more
