This guy logs more water time than a Children's Pool seal. And gets better waves than 98.5% of us humanoids.

Final Chapter

Part two in a series of only two. Here's how JP's floater ended. I'm not sure if the barnz pony tail got in the way or if he was just it utter shock before blue impact. I will have to check with JP to see if there is an epilogue.

A Murphy Quiver


Rob Reed has been riding our boards now for a couple of years. Through discussions with friends, and fellow All Ride Surf Club members, Chris Miller, Jason Werbelow and Bob Scott, he has put together a small quiver that fills his needs.
* 9' Everyman's Squash (old faithful)
* 7'-6" Tri-Fin/Egg hybrid
* 9' Everyman's Squash (his new version)

And this is his son Finn. Looks like the La Costa Canyon High School Surf Team has a future goofy foot A team rider!

The Cardiff Kook


Just waiting to see what the summer hi-jinx may have in store for the biggest kook in Cardiff. This Wire Man was up about a year ago and was quite clever. He was slashing behind the kook. Here's hoping that someone creative does something soon.
