Pretty close to a 540 at 1:19

Or 5 hours on a boat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSWf4Hfr6nk

I wish I had a video of it, but I asked Jake Bright if anyone had done a twisting flip yet, I had never seen one. He said, "yeah I'll go do one right now". And proceeded to throw down the coolest trick I've ever seen. IMO: One foot, one hand backflips are awesome, and superman backflips are...

I'd say ride at Pismo for sure. The waves don't look too big this weekend. Actually at Pismo you ride right off the beach, while at O-side you have to ride for a ways to get to the ride spot, so Pismo may be better for a first timer. As mentioned be smart. Start in the small white water near...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this was linked to and I wanted to add to it. There is a Chevron on Grand Ave. maybe 1/3 of the way from the freeway to the beach that has multiple air hoses for filling your tires back up and multiple windshield washers at each of their half dozen or so gas...

Is it normal for sit downs to ride at Pismo? I've ridden there about 10 times and have never seen one. In the faceboook post for this event someone is asking whether they need a wetsuit (noob alert) and they'll be on a sitdown. I would really hate to see Pismo get shut down like I've seen other...

Don't forget Clayton Jacobsen's original!

It's so embarrasing to be involved in a sport so full of redneck dumbasses who can't see some areas need to be protected and some areas are ok to allow fast motor vehicles. Enviro-nazis who want everything eveywhere shut down, and right wing nut jobs who want any destructive activity allowed...

Tell that to all the longboarders who congregate at the best sand bar. The whole beach is fine for skis, but there are subtle differences if you really look.

I would suggest setting up camp in front of a good surf break as well as a good camping spot. There are a number of good breaks along the beach. If you are driving south on the beach the easiest way to find the best breaks is to look on your left for a hill close to the beach. That hill...

A piece of farming equipment fell off a truck in front of us on a cross country road trip, 1000 miles from home. Stupid POS Ford Explorer rolled twice swerving to avoid it. 6 month old baby in the car. Dog took off out of a broken window. Family flew home and I spent 9 days to get the dog...

I put lifter wedges in for a temporary solution and have been very happy with them. I can do nose stabs and subs. Maybe when I start going for backflips I'll need real footholds, but until my skills get there, these have been fine.

With a 4/3 the ocean water is perfect. A wetsuit protects you, so in some ways it's better to have cold water. Plenty of warm flat water around. In Pismo you launch from the beach. California has it's cons: very expensive housing, Pismo is far from any big city with a good job market, right...

I moved not knowing a soul. My parents have 100 acres in upstate NY where I could build a house. But only 1 state cuts it for me. [

Guy whos get stumble into the sport and happen to live in a bitcin' place must drive the long time hard core riders who are stuck in cold, land locked areas nuts.

I first rode in the surf back in the late 80s with a stock 550. The only things I consider musts are: Don't get in over your head; i.e. take is easy, start on small waves, work your skills and knowledge up before commiting to larger waves or tricks. Flush your ski or ride in fresh water...

Yeah GG seems softer, but less grippy than HT. Looks are subjective but I think GG looks cheesy.

^that's different

Whenever I see one it reminds me of when a woman kicks her foot up behind her when being kissed on tv or movies. It's a pretty cool trick (although the least step up from a regular backy), but it looks gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Your suspension is what cushions the ski on bumps. I had my ski(s) in my bed with plywood or bare metal both worked fine. You'll scratch it up way more just beaching it. For a spray on bedliner that's rough you would probably want to put a carpet just to make it easier to slide it in/out...
