The Dark Side

Is there tension in the surfboard shaping atmosphere? Maybe tension is the wrong verbiage, and I don’t want to say drama either, but there seems to be some perceived – unease in the air. Possibly some agitation that has been slow-going for years now? Here’s what I got for you. Britt Merrick was just documented […]

Crowd Control

One of my friends finally sent me their Stab Premium log-in info. I’ve got to say, after spending the weekend getting drunk and browsing the premium content, I am pretty impressed. Really solid stuff over there. I am going to have to make the purchase myself to support, cause I dig it.  After watching this […]

My Surf Sin

Everyone sins. This is common knowledge. Sinning doesn’t determine whether you’re a good or bad person. Recognizing that you have sinned, and consequently working to correct your mistake is what is important.  Sins happen everywhere. Anywhere. All the time. At work, at home, at dinner, in the car, on vacation, etc. etc. If you are […]

What’s the Difference Between Me and You?

I thought about writing a post in dedication to this state of affairs immediately after, but I decided to let the emotions settle. I was hot.          The waves were extremely fun, […]

Missing Out

         I hate the acronym FOMO. I typically tend to hate any trend I catch whiff of. I’ve thought about this long and hard, and I really can’t determine the source of my discontent. My immediate reasoning is to say that I despise when people don’t think for themselves. Quickly thereafter, I may find myself […]
