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?

So you uh like stand there and have the water fall over you. What is fun about that?

Johnny Utah was nowhere to be found in these empties at point break on Monday.

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!
