So I got a call the other weekend to come out and shoot this roof drop. I had never been to this spot before or seen a photo of it so I really had no idea what to expect. To say the least, this thing is pretty sketchy. I’ve only had it happen a few times where I actually felt concerned for someone’s health when trying a trick and this day was one of them. I was worried the wheels would stick on the first try and he would go tumbling down the roof onto the rail below or something like that. Luckily that didn’t happen and no one got broke off too hard. With that being said, Here’s Cameron Wetzler with a first descent in Del Mar, California.

Raise the Roof! Oh, I mean drop the roof!

Dude you totally yard saled on that pillow line!

Red filter weirdness

EXTREME DEATH LENS!

Droppin Hammers… Wait that’s Greco. Cameron be droppin roofs.

Hmmmmm hot pockets. Aren’t they great? So while everyone else is busy focusing on going bigger and bigger with giant cool guy bowls and super sized mega ramps and gaps and rails that could possibly kill you I’m riding the fun shit. Mirco machines! I mean seriously a mega ramp? Are you trying to ride that thing? Or how about  a 20 ft bowl? If you are good for you but that’s not for me. I’m not trying to kid myself and I’m not trying to knock that jock stuff either but that’s pretty much what it takes to ride that super sized big boy stuff.

And well, thank god I’m getting more and more comfortable with being a pussy

Here’s some photos from a recent session with Kyle G, Darrel Delgado and Ry in San Clemente, California

I’m Sorry, you cant blast your 12ft jock air in this one.

Or maybe I’m just bitter I cant blast 12ft jock airs?

Darrel Delgado. Do I need to explain more?

I was too busy skating when Ry was rolling in all over the place and trying to get his first front side backyard shallow end grind. He did get some backside ones in though

Where’s the god damn prizzy!

No this is not a photo of Darrel crying. This is a photo of Darrel crushing the fuck out of this shallow end with a front side grind where 97 out of 100 people would be crying trying to get a grind.

Kyle

No it’s nothing like the fake shallow end at your local skate park. It’s the real thing and it’s not easy.

What you don’t like front side grinds? What do you expect? Front side flip nose blunt backside revert?

How about backside grinds?

What is this? Tricks? Get that garbage outta here? Don’t you know we only front side grind and back side grind backyard pools. I guess Kyle didn’t get the memo that tricks aren’t allowed and did a crail in the shallow. I thought I was going to get hit in the temple so I geeked the photo.

Whoa Duuude! That would be totally cool if it was 1974. What are you doing front side carve grinding cant you just stand up on that brick coping?

I guess you would just have to be there.

No hands down allowed means no make yet for kyle on this front side rock slide.

Darrel doesn’t like the comment I previously wrote. So this is what you get instead.

TERROR

Another year. Another beer. 2009 is over. I figured I’d start off the new year with a little history in origin of the sideways activities. This skateboarding and snowboarding stuff  has been around a long time but not as long as surfing. With the waves being really good earlier this week I decided to hook up with a couple of my surfer browski’s at point break and shoot some flicks of them getting rad in their rubber suits. So with that being said here’s a little tribute to the godfather of the other fun things we do sideways. And no I’m not talking about snake boarding or wake boarding.

Lighting was crazy all day. No I did not mean lightning. I meant lighting. You know that stuff that makes a photo?

Zach, being the professional he is was surfing with no leash and riding a board that’s been sitting in the backyard for a few years.

To the north of me.

To the south of me.

Cool or too much with the slow shutter speed? Ahh I don’t care what you think. I like it!

Ding Dong Derek had no problem getting a double digit number of tubes this day. On land and in the water.

Derek with another one and that’s that.

uh huh

Now dont get washed up this new year! Or maybe it’s too late.

Hope you enjoyed the surfing photos. I know you cant wear that much flare in the water so surfing will never be as cool as skating or snowboarding but hey at least the wetsuit is tight like the girl pants you wear!

Have a good weekend and happy new year!
