I know, I know – I’m late. But we have a great guest this week, so at least the wait was worthwhile. I’ve seen this kid in the water at home a few times, and then I saw him featured in a Stab article, and then I saw Travis from Inherent Bummer write about him, […]
Ethan Ewing might not be the World Champion, but he is everyone’s favorite surfer right now. Even Britt Merrick. So when Stab announced his appearance as this season’s SITD surfer, excitement filled the room. Remember, Surfing is a very small room in the grand scheme of things. Stab really had to do right after the […]
We’ve already heard what the people thought of this debacle. Stab’s own fans and subscribers, for that matter. Now, since we are still on the topic, I would like to share my thoughts. Most of you likely already know what Stab In The Dark is. But just in case, for those in the back – […]
This one is near and dear to my heart. Excuse me while I wax poetic for a few minutes. This is a rule that I know is being broken on the daily. I see it with my own eyes. It’s gotten bad, and I intend to make a video about it at some point. I […]
Oxymoron – a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. I just heard the best oxymoron I’ve ever heard in my life, and it came from someone commonly referred to as “off”. He’s also widely called one of the greatest surfers of all time. Tom Curren recently joined Sterling Spencer on […]
Did Caity Simmers just ruin ‘big’ surfboard manufacturing? One could argue that John has basically done the same thing. What the hell am I even on about, you might ask. Well, if you’ve kept up with the WSL World Tour over the last two years then you know about the Vissla Shaper Rankings – the […]
There’s a little secret I want to share with you. If you are riding an Al Merrick surfboard right now, or have owned one anytime within the last 10 years, there is a very high likelihood that Al Merrick did not actually shape that board. “That’s because Britt is the shaper now,” you might think. […]
Screen it. Blow it off. Tape off the boxes. Patches over the boxes. Pull the cloth. Cut the cloth. Roll the cloth. Laminates down. Make sure you have your tools ready. Clean your bucket. Pull the resin. Pour the hardener. Mix. Well. Place your logos. Roll cloth back. Wet out fin patches. Any other logos […]
I’m preparing for summer. It’s basically here. I think the official start is next week. Most schools are either out already, or will be by next week. I can tell because I went surfing this morning. There is a new apartment complex going up on my street. Construction everyday. Construction workers stealing parking spots by […]
Surfing involves a lot of science. Physics, chemistry, oceanology, you remember those, don’t you? You may not need to be educated in the field of science to paddle out and have some fun at your local, but you will need a little information if you plan to do any kind of work on a surfboard. […]
