Rant - Controversial comments

Now that we've been living with it for a bit, what do folks think of the new controversial comments feature? I have to admit enjoying it, although it's an odd pleasure. Feels a bit like rubbernecking.

Thursday 10am - Ocean Beach, poor surfing

A stiff onshore is making a funked up mess of the head high to 1.5x overhead plus waves charging towards shore. Certain spots look doable, but overall it looks like a day where indulgence should triumph. Happy turkey day!

Rant - Surf’s Up Locally, Just Right for the Pros

The Association of Surfing Professionals surprised many people this spring when it chose Ocean Beach in San Francisco for its premier surfing contest, which began this week. The city is hardly known for surfing, and even hard-core surfers often malign Ocean Beach — a notoriously deadly, dirty and foggy six-mile stretch of shoreline — for its fickle, and occasionally furious, surf.

Rant - GoPro Releases The HD Hero2 Action Camera, All-New Imaging In The Same Rugged Housing

GoPro is ready to take action cameras to a whole new level. Again. The Half Moon Bay-based company just released the HD Hero2 Professional, a major refresh over the original (and much loved) HD Hero. Chief among the updates is a new video sensor that has twice the performance as the original including better low light capture. This new sensor is paired with a different lens that not only improves the overall clarity, but also features a 170 degree field of view rather than the 127 found in the older HD Hero. Yep, your extreme tomfoolery will look that much more awesome.

Monday 7pm - Ocean Beach, good- surfing

I snuck out of my conference a little early in the hope that I'd catch the start of the swell. Lady luck's peppermints sweetened my day. Warm water, head high + waves, frolicking dolphins, a beautiful sunset. A ton of fun out there. Clean A frames going right and racy walls of leftness. You can feel the new 12-14s energy. Stoked off my ass.

"It was still good out there until dark. Can't wait for the morning :)"

Monday 8am - Ocean Beach, poor+ surfing

Conditions remain similar. Foggy, shoulder high. A bit more oomph than last night but still weak, intermittent, textured and shoulder high. Still plenty of fun to be had out there with the dolphins. Still, you might want to save your energy for what the next few days has in store. Sadly, I'll be going home.
