Surfing is a Trip

Bad weather on 10/18. Paul got it on video.

Just heard about this big catch at the Destin Rodeo. The mako was caught 70 miles out and weighed 844 lbs. Take a look at the article. At least we haven't seen a repeat of 2005.

Allan Weisbecker (author of Search for Captain Zero, Cosmic Banditos, and Can't You Get Along With Anyone) has a new website and and ezine. Check it out Bandito Books. I recommend you read the books in the above order. Good stuff.

Below is a picture of Mike that I took the day BEFORE the swell got there on Sunday. I arrived from Atlanta on Friday night after the first swell petered out and left on Sunday before the new swell arrived. Mike and I hiked out to the West Jetty at the Destin Pass and caught some small but fun waves.

You couldn't have photoshopped this shot any better. M's dog catching a sneaker sip.

V got all of this ride. Fade away bottom turn with a little nose time. Then it's back in position and milking it to shore.

The second picture down you'll see a rare photo of never before seen Mike on a certified short board. Actually a quad fin bat tail demo board. Sweet.

Mike and I were the only ones in our division. I got first, he got second. The kids all had fun with the new hardware.

Check out the mobile beach media unit. A custom, remote controlled, DVD, Hi-Fi with satellite reception. Crazy.

It was wedging up nice right next to the pier.
Demo board craziness. Need a surf tech board cheap? Fluid has a hundred different surf tech boards available to try and demo.
V on wave patrol. Nice shoulder high set coming through.
Mike digs deep.
