Plenty of filthy barrels in this footage.... <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nF-PAAFkkrg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
The first time I surfed Indonesia was @ Uluwatu with Gerry and 4 others, a year after that footage. One of those dreamlike memories that remains with you as a surfer.

Just got off the phone w/ my son...
"Guess who I surfed with a couple weeks ago" "Dunno, who?" "Alana Blanchard, we were free surfing before the Quiksilver Pro @ Snapper Rocks. As soon as I saw that azz, I knew who it was." "Good Boy!" :D http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1364102227.jpg |
Baz: Awesome footage! That's the Mentawaii surf I dream about. However, on the Quest 1, $35,000 is the tab for a group of eight for the most awesome nine-10 days of your life. The charters get some those incredible off shore reef breaks, but my style would me an extended stay in a grass hut on the dirt. could do a whole high season for my share of the charter with change left over to buy the Bintangs.

Yep, Alana and some of her crew make for a good reason to paddle just slower than a girl. :-)

My Own Surfing Thread!
You guys crack me up. Her suit is a good idea though. Saves you from picking it out of your tush when a wave pushes it up there.
Want to share a story. I have a friend who had breast cancer about 12 years ago and had a mastectomy. Well, now it came back in the other breast. She just had surgery and we have been going back and forth, talking about her recovery, old times, etc. Out of the blue, she pauses and there is silence. She takes a deep breath and goes, "well, I wanted to ask you something. When this is all said and done, I want to go to San Diego and learn how to surf. Will you go with me?" Nearly made me cry. So I am starting to make plans. I think surfing will help her so much. There is something so healing and good for the soul about surfing. Will keep you guys updated. By the way, her nickname for me is Sparkles. That's how she asked me. "Will you go with me, Sparkles?" |

My good friend Mike Martin receives the lifetime achievement award at the 1st Annual New Smyrna Beach Surf Film Festival.
Aside from all the years Mike has supported our local surf club, especially assisting in contest operations, he traveled the world for many many years as the US ASP judge. To speak with Mike, because of his easy nature and humility, you wouldn't know he's spent time with the world's finest surfers at some of the best surf spots in the world. Ah the stories he can tell.... Congrats "Mick"! http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...75619846_n.jpg |
Cool, Baz! You have some pretty cool surf connections!
I am trying SUP surfing this weekend. Don't have many waves to catch in AZ. Have to do with what I have. At a local lake. We will see how this goes. I don't think it will be the same as SUP surfing in the ocean. :( |

Nice way to start the day from Magic Seaweed....
Love seeing so many girls/women in the water now a days. Never used to see them and it is a far better scene with them there. And they can bring it - the little ones I teach are far more natural than the boys, and seem to have more fun. Love the old school pics Paul - if I could pic a period to surf it would have been back then, in Cali when it was all young and fresh and underground. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eIbkFseOJbw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Baz at "Domes" (Rincon), Puerto Rico Christmas break 1973.
That board was a single fin swallowtail Nichols (shaped by Danny Nichols) complete with black lightning bolt on yellow deck over gray bottom - one of my fav. boards I ever had. Also - I had taken a keel fin with me that I found discarded in the factory's trash can - it had been removed from a Dick Catri board - this was when keel fins were first being used and experimented with. Anyway - I sanded it until it would fit in my fin box after I pounded it in a bit with my palm. So at some point while surfing "Pools" the darn thing came out and was lost. Of course I had brought a conventional fin with me so just used that the rest of the trip. It was a fun trip - waves were not huge but had a little size and were fun and of course it was nice and warm. I met a beautiful PR nursing student who was also on Christmas break. I have a pic of here somewhere - she was gorgeous. My 2 buddies who went with me left early but I stayed the whole 10 days and soaked in the island mojo.... http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...90986616_n.jpg |
By the way......you know Summer is on it's way because the views are now becoming a lot more interesting.....
