I was putting together a little edit and took this still from video of a poopy day that I did a road trip to Maine with Matt Berkowitz and Joel Feid. Thanks Bud!

It was a great little morning and now some football!

Well the new year has started off great in CA. This is a pic of I took of Michael Gumina while coaching today.

A good photo could still be had on my last day in NH, but the signage at this beach made it CLEAR that they don’t want any “treble” from anyone!

It’s been really small in the NE lately so I got bored and put together a little Senegal collage. Yup…that’s a side pony…

As I stood in the 24•f wind daydreaming of all the signs/ads/etc…that have hung in this very spot it made appreciate this vintage, time-honored, social media/marketing classic and yet laugh inside at how I was going to share it with all of you.

Every time I watch this video it makes me laugh and smile! I just saw it again while I was updating my video page and I had to share. It’s easy to stay warm when you cut the rug like this!! If you don’t know AND like Ralph you probably live in a bubble and I feel a little bit bad for you haha. Props to Mr. Michael Sander for an amazing edit!

Well isn’t the grass always greener on the other side(or in this case blacker and whiter)!? Just like I always miss the east coast when I am not here, I was missing La Jolla a bit this morning too when I was watching the cam. I couldn’t help but think “boy, a 3/2 and no booties sure would be nice for a session” haha. I never really get homesick during the days no matter where in the world I am, but at night it’s a different story. Oh well, I’ll be back soon enough. Here is what I was looking at this a.m..

It’s not Mc’d’s but I’m lovin’ it! I enjoy the North East so much. Last weekend I was surfing a spot where a kid was hailed by his grandparents to come in and get some water and eat a little left over turkey real quick. It was the first time I had seen anything of the sort but sure enough, in ten minutes he was ready to go for another few hours. How awesome!! And then today, there were some fun waves around town and even better yet it felt like a ghost town. In fact, the only person I bumped into before paddling out was a 50ish year old lady who stated, “this isn’t a good beach to surf, you should go south”. I must have given her the crazy eyes because she instantly retracted and said “BUT I don’t know anything about surfing”. Haha. Hard to beat fun peaks with only one friend out…or at least that’s what I think. Here are some of the empty lineups I passed.

Summer Sessions is on fire lately! In case you didn’t see this photo in a recent ESM online feature here it is:

Tyler is one of the owners of the shop and was in Senegal with me. He has been trying out all sorts of new equipment and it doesn’t look like the 5mm booties are slowing him down a bit! Such a well composed photo. Congrats to Ty and Brian Nicholson photography for capturing a gem!
