    Super Tubes at Jeffery’s Bay At times traveling can be stressful especially when things don’t go according to plan.  Although we were unable to go to Central America due to uncooperative airlines (click here to read about what went down) we looked at it as a blessing instead of a curse.  At first I was…

  • PARKO be kickin’ some okole on the World Tour

    Pretty cool experience.  Not something we need to do all the time, but every once in a while, watching a professional surf contest can be extremely entertaining.  The best day of the contest went down on the second day.  The weather was frigid, it started off with a light drizzle while ominous clouds loomed over…

  • WCT first round

    Day 1 is complete. They got through an entire first round and part of the second round.  This newer format sees immediate elimination with no repocharge heats.  In other words, once you lose you are out.  Pack your bags and go home or relax and enjoy Jeffreys Bay.  We’ll see what those who have been…

  • The World Tour is here

    Just got out of the water, surfed Supertubes, the best section of Jeffreys Bay on the alaia.  Wanted to see if it worked and this evening was my last chance before the start of the WCT contest.  Looks like the first heats should be hitting the water tomorrow morning. I’m not sure if you’ll find…

  • Going Going Back Back to Cali Cali to Cali

    WE WEN GO BACK MAINLAND FO CUPPO DAYS, LI’DAT Pops and I Off we go again! We decided to route our ticket through San Diego.  From there we planned on finding our way up to LA and then off to Nicaragua.  As planned, things didn’t go totally as planned. Barret picked us up from the…

  • Back in the 808 state

    As much as we love traveling it sure was nice to be heading back to our home.  Looking out the window of the airplane and catching a glimpse of the white sandy beaches and inviting turquoise ocean brought tears to my eyes.  Hawaii is like none other.  From the surf, the people, the lifestyle, and…

  • Western Saaaaaaaaaamoaaasal

    IF ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS SEE THE SURF PHOTOS, SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM. After a few days in Western Samoa we knew we wanted to extend our stay.  Louise and I have learned that if we like a spot, its advantageous to extend it if possible.  But with so much to see…

  • NZ Round 2

    Raglan was amazing and we scored some of the best waves in our lives but the swell was fading and it was time to move on to our next adventure.  Our buddy Sam was heading to a beach clean-up on the Great Barrier Island located right off the eastern coast of the north island and…

  • Raglan

    Buoyweather, some of the best money I’ve ever spent, was displaying 8-10 feet at 15 seconds with offshore winds in about a day, (means its going to be really good).  Raglan faces North so the Southwest swells wrap in almost 180 degrees and would reveal perfectly groomed six footers by the time we got there. …
