Surfers have always been creative when it comes to getting their ass to the beach. What's your favorite surfmobile?

Thankfully, they are probably not very good in duck-diving.

What you can't see from the channel angle is how shallow this place is. That guy in the soup is basically doing a handstand right now.

Been reading ob surf updates over past couple of weeks and most say found a few decent ones despite the wind. Funny but I get excited for the wind this time of year. Learned to kite last year after surfing 20+yrs. Watching Mulcoy kill it on same board for kiting/surfing is what eventually made me take my first lesson over at Alameda. Now I pretty much surf fall/winter and kite spring.

The sense of stoke that surfers feel when riding a wave is universal. Nowhere is this more apparent than in developing countries, where first-world surfers often share the lineup with locals, only to discover that 'stoked' doesn't require much beyond a floating piece of plywood and a friend to hoot you into the wave of the day.

seems like a hypocrite...

"too funny...Newt?"

"lest we forget. laird is like prometheus, not a hypocrite but a hero among men."

"hero = yes. hypocrite = yes."

There are over 470 species of sharks and they have been living on Planet Earth for 420 million years.

The smallest shark - the dwarf lantern shark - is only 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in length, while the whale shark is the largest specie in the world, with approximately 12 meters (39 feet).

"so while the numbers in the article show that your chances of dying due to a shark attack ..."

Oxygen and confidence may turn a wave set nightmare into a relaxed challenge. So, how can you physically increase your lung capacity?

If you're a small surfer, live in lower altitudes and consider yourself an obese human being, prepare to suffer at the hands of that huge set of waves. And if you're a woman, it's not that good. Those are the worst variables when it comes to breathing power.

Less than two weeks after winning the Pacifico Paddle Award at the Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards ceremony, Guinness has officially certified Shawn Dollar's 61-foot wave at the Cortes Bank off California as a new World Record.

I am a photographer and a surfer. I have been surfing for over ten years, but prior to that I was a bodyboarder. I’ve never lived further than two miles from the beach, and I honestly feel I’m addicted to the ocean. I’ve always tried to take a photojournalistic approach to documenting the surfing culture at the Jersey Shore.
