Well as I said a few posts ago the waves have been super small. However, what I didn’t realize was how much opportunity there was to try new, unique and by all means “mind blowing” tricks. So in tribute to R.usty’s Punt of the Month feature on Surfline, this is my “Stunt of the Month”. Here is a clip that Rick Takahashi got of me on Sunday morning. Now this is the first time I have ever pulled a DOUBLE SLOB grab……and by double I mean two on this one wave. Stay tuned for more clips from sunday morning. Now sit back and enjoy the SHOW!!!

10/25/11 Sunset
It’s now almost too late for me to get sunset pics after work. I hustled up the hill tonight and this is what I got.
Friday wedding
Well I thought the waves were going to be a lot better this week. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The highlight of my weekend was finally getting to attend a wedding at scripps. My friends Kristen and Alex somehow were able to lock down the venue.
Before the ceremony started I got to watch Mr. Michael Gumina and Remy Juboori take apart some waist high slop which added to the coolness factor for myself. Miraculously the sun also came out for the first time in about five days for the end of the ceremony and sunset. It was an all around amazing night in which lots of people had fun and Kristens mom Rosanne even thanked me in her speech which was so nice.
Here’s a few pics.
Tiny
Well, yesterday the waves were bad….and today, somehow worse. At least there are more waves on the way so I should have some good stuff up towards the end of the week.
New Hampshire
Check out this sweet picture that Joel Feid took in New Hampshire today. I’m really missing it back there.
And the X-Trak goes too….
James Neubarth!! Your the big winner bud. Congrats! Thanks to everyone who “like”d the page and if you want to watch how dramatic the drawing was click below. _!!!/
BDay party
Here are a few pics from the B-day party I had at Clay’s. It was a super fun night and a lot of good friends showed up. There was even guest appearances from my mom and mr. matt “chia” pet! Best gift of the night was the $20 gift certificate to Taco Bell that Nick and Paige got for me. Most enjoyed of the night was the cake that my amazing GF Jenn made. I was so glad everybody made it.

5’9″ Misfit
Of course now that I can’t surf for a bit due to my involuntary ear piercing my 5’9″ Misfit is ready. Rick Hamon shaped this one and it looks amazing! It’s 18.5″ wide x 2.31″ thick. I can’t wait to give it a go. Here are some pics.
