Spit pic


A nice little pic of a guy in the Santa Barbara green room. Another local spot that only breaks on a swell like the one we had last week. You have to look close to see the dark figure in the wave.

Jimmy Lewis



Just got home from helping WarDog at Surfing sports unload a container of 50 new Jimmy Lewis SUP boards. They really look nice so check out WarDog at www.surfingsports.com. I'm going to take out the green one as soon as the weather gets better.

RARE SITE !



The south side of the pier was working for the past 3 days. 364 days a year this body of water is as flat as a pancake. This is a rare site in Santa Barbara. Even on a nice winter swell it doesn't break. For some more great Santa Barbara pics of this last swell check out War Dogs website at www.surfingsports.com

Well the waves are REALLY big this morning. Our quiet little beach looks like something out of Nor Cal.

Heads up !


Buckle up your chin straps boys and girls because a giant swell is on the way. Should hit here in SB starting Tuesday afternoon and be macking on Wednesday. I'm going to eat my Wheaties and rest so I can grab a few big ones on my SUP board. Pics to follow. Have fun everyone and be safe.

White wash


Another pic of Laird on his 14' Ron House gun. I remember last year while I was picking up my 10' Ron House custom board seeing this gun in the glass shop next door to Ron's studio. I have to say that after doing my own SUP boards and surfing numerous other SUP boards that Ron House really knows his shit. NOTHING works better. The thin, drawn in tail, with the small tri set up is the best!! I still use my 12' Ron House on smaller days and the board is amazing. It surfs like a 10 footer. Keep up the good work Ron. I use your boards as a measuring stick when it comes to high performance and so far I haven't even come close on my own boards. I'm working on it.

BADA BING !


We sure don't get waves like this around these parts. Good thing because if we did I would actually have to stop drinking so much beer and rum and start working out just to stay alive in the surf. Now that sounds like to much damn work!!

Close out!!


You may have seen some pics from this session on the net a few months ago. A friend of mine sent me a series of this surf session right after they were shot in Hawaii. I have a few more if there is any interest.
