EDDIE WOULD GO

Ok, so I am going to pull an Oprah on you all. Due to the lack of swell in SB I am going to post the book I am reading now. "Eddy Would Go" is a must read. I was skiing last week and I am now packing for Maui in a few days so I don't have much time to run around and find material for this blog. I will for sure have some great pics after returning from Maui. We are going to do a lot of SUP surfing. Go get the book!! EDDIE WOULD GO!!!!!!!!

Mystery man

I was up in San Francisco last Tuesday and decided to drive down to Mavericks and see who was surfing. As I pulled into the parking lot I noticed a guy on a SUP board paddling in the harbor heading towards the jetty and Mavericks. The guy walked across the jetty and headed right out to the break. It was a big day but the wind was up and it didn't look fun at all. Nobody I talked to knew who this guy was. From the look of the pic it might have been Sasquatch with a full wetsuit on. What I do know is that this guy is bad ass. Maybe it is Sasquatch!!

Gone fishing

I don't know about you but this pic remindes me of a good time. SUP boards and fishing poles on a dive boat heading off to a secret spot!! This will be my last post for about 8 days as I am packing and ready to head for the hills on a ski trip. Happy holidays.

Texalium

I have been using a Texalium deck and bottom on the 10'2" noserider. I picked up the latest 10'2" from the glasser today. This board lost a full 8 pounds over the last one. Good to go!!

BlueLine 11' er

Just got home from the glass shop. John Burges, owner of Glass Monkey Glass Shop putting the finishing touches on my latest BlueLine SUP board. He does a hell of a job.

SONAR DESPIERTO

Another rough day at the office!!

Da Bomb

I was going through some pics and found this shot of me dropping into a nice wave while watching a tow in surfer dropping into a nice bomb about 100 yards in front of me. I say drop the stinking rope and grab an SUP board!!

Little rippers

My son Ben on the left is 9 years old and is on a 7' foot surfboard. He is getting better everytime we go out and he surfed a ton of waves today. Tucker, on the right is 11 years old and is on a 6'6" Nash surfboard. Tucker is really tearing it up on this small board. He is a better SUP boarder than 99% of the adults around SB. I'll post some pics of these kids in the waves soon!

Better half

WarDog from SurfingSports took this pic of my wife today in the water. She has now got the SUP bug. You go girl!!

TAIL BACK

Every top has it's bottom. Every head has a tail. I just like looking at the ass end of a SUP board. It remindes me of hitting the lip and making a big bottom turn. Two of my BlueLine tails looking good and ready for some surf!!
