Not So Stoked On Your Popouts

Seaworthy Trailer II
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Nathan Oldy sent in his latest trailer for Seaworthy the other day. That officially makes it trailer week at 70, and I for one am stoked we’ll soon have three new films (with TCs The Present) out to stoke us on every aspect of surfing, from logs to fish to planks of wood.
You can spy the first Seaworthy trailer here.
Down The Line
Sunday, April 13th, 2008All the podcasts from Scott Bass’s talk radio show, Down The Line.
- The Ranch claims a life.
-comment- - Teaser for Brian Conoly's, My Eyes Won't Dry 3. I hope he mixes it up with some B roll and 2nd angles a bit on this one, but even if he doesn't, it's gonna be amazing.
-comment- - I completely, totally forgot about hurricane season.
-comment- - Kiribati warned that by the end of the century, their country would be underwater, due to global warming. They should start on this Maritime colony project now. Anyone surf there?
-comment- - This has to be the most indepth look at the Brazilian tidal bore surfing ever created. Check out video of Jon Rose and Masatoshi Ohno at Nissan and photos at Surfline.
-comment- - The Jet Stream as viewed from the South pole gives a pretty clear indication of why the next few weeks is going to be pretty small. What we need, is a trough from under NZ to halfway across the Atlantic, then a northward spike pointing directly at us.
-comment- - Get Dorked. Some old rad Ed Roth stickers.
-comment- - 46% of White shark attacks were on divers, but in attacks in which the victim was collecting marine creatures, only 10% of attacks were against urchin divers. Abalone divers didn't fair so well though in this statistic, as 56% of those attacks were against them.
-comment- - The Cali Department of Fish and Game has an Urchin Fishery page which contains some really interesting info: The number one diver in 2006 brought in 233 thousand pounds, worth 118 thousand dollars. Another tidbit: The total California catch has declined dramatically from 25 million pounds in 1991 to 7.5 million pounds in 2003.
-comment- - Blue Water Gold Rush, is the diary of a California urchin diver. Mmmmmm.... fresh uni!
