The Stealth Sea slug...

HYDROFLEX 5'5" BOOGIE FISH - Another fine example of german engineering!
What can i say, dont be fooled by its appearence. this thing is a riot! Fast, nimble and sooo much fun. in 2ft or 10ft faces, this thing is insane! With Hydroflex construction and EPS foam, this board is a must have for anyone's quiver! Try it once and you will be hooked!



A hybrid high performance keel fin setup.
Its not a shortboard fin, but its not a quite a keel fin either...
I had these layin' around so i figure they would be great for this board.
...and they do!



The rebel yell of Bufo...
Stay tuned for photos of this board in action!

SWAMI'S COMPRIMISE...

I'm sure if we can all find some common ground and we all make some compromises, this contest should go smoothly and everyone will be happy!

I think if it were a "BRO DOWN" contest, nobody would care! but since its a WOMENS contest, there seems to be a lot of "quick to be an asshole" guys out there who think that they OWN swami's...c'mon pull your head out man!

So heres my solution...This'll stop their crying!

The "APEX" Goes HYDROFLEX!...




I cant say how stoked i am to see my "APEX" signature model being produced in HYROFLEX technology composite! for those of you who know about this board, you know how sweet it is in P.U. construction, now its going to be off the charts as a HYDROFLEX!


Here it is being shaped out of a stringerless 1.5lb. eps foam blank. The line you see is just pencil...


Ahhh, she's purdy!

Single to Double in the tail...




Stay tuned for more updates when finished...

Mans best friend...

What an amazing gift i received the other day! actually it was valentines day, and my sweet lovely Lauren decided she wanted to paint a portrait of my Dog. And if any of you know me or my dog, you know that he is an amazing dog and he means the world to me. The portrait is spot on too! It looks just like him! She is a very talented artist as you may have seen on other posts, or on "The Leucadia Project" many a time!

I thought this was well worth posting and sharing for all those
who apprecaite her art as well as "Petey".

Todos Santos - Road trip - 1.11.10...

green perfection!

So Tuesday afternoon, as im walking through home depot picking out some materials for the shop, i get a call from Larry. he says its firing down south and that he had reserved a boat for us for tomorrow!... "what?...yer' kidding right? where?" he then proceeds to tell me that its gonna hit Todos Santos on weds, and its gonna be HUGE!!!..."Holy S%#T!!! its on!!!!"

So this is the documentation of our trip. we brought along our videographer Justin , so we could get some video footage for the next arena movie. I had my camera with me as well so i took these shots from the boat when i was done surfing. there were a lot of big names out there and some serious waves. Greg long, mike parsons, alex gray and a couple other big wave heroes. i was so amped to be out there shoulder to shoulder with these guys and the shear energy in the water was unfathomable! I was on an insane 6'9" NIRVANA gun which was too small to paddle into the bigger sets, but it was awsome once I got down the face. most of the guys were on 9'6" to 11'0" ft. boards. I got my fair share of waves, but it was a little more challenging being on a shorter stick. but once I got the hang of where to sit, and where to position my feet, it was insane! I was in heaven! BY FAR THE BIGGEST WAVES OF MY LIFE! I will post more as it arrives! so sit back and enjoy the ride!


Mexican border at 7am
amazing sunrise!
ensenada bay...
sketchy boat rentals.
yeah...it was big.
sheet glass conditions!
aquatic paparazzi!!
the swell just got bigger and bigger!!!
surfed out, sunburnt, hungry and grinning from ear to ear!!!
before: fresh 6'9"...this should work. right?
after: OH MY GOD! sweet board....wrong size! wheres my 9'6"at!? ! but once i got into the
waves, they were manageable...barely. it was like being chased by a bull while pedaling a tricycle!
THANK YOU MEXICO!

journey to 500!...its finally complete!


those of you who are loyal enough and patient enough to follow
my patchy and inconsistent blog, know that i was on a mission to surf 500 sessions
within one calender year. from jan 1st 2009 to dec 31st 2010. it was more than a mission! it was almost torture at certain points. but it was worth every paddle , every stormy,
rainy day when my body said HELL NO! and my heart said C'MON, ITS ONLY PAIN, WHATS THE BIG DEAL! through fevers, dirty waters, and beyond howling winds, i conquered
my goal! as a matter of fact i did better than that, i hit 501!
but i must say, out of 365 days i did miss about 7 days in total due to
random reasons out of my control. this however made me realise that it would of actually been harder to surf once EVERY single day and not miss one, than to surf 500 times...
