This is why I think Ned and Biofoam will succeed. He has honest intentions of actually producing a better product, not just hyping it for short term sales. In a new product like this there will be inevitable setbacks and it’s how you deal with those and inform your customers that sets you apart. My experience with Ned and Biofoam has been extremely positive. He’s realistic in his approach as well, understanding that this isn’t the solution to the world’s problems but merely a step in the right direction in our small little microcosm that we like to call surfing. Much respect to Ned for posting pics of a buckled Biofoam board. Very few people in the business world have the balls to step up and admit to failures in their product, especially in the surf industry. The fact that he (and his company) are looking at it objectively with the mindset of “how can we improve this” is an indication that we have much more to look forward to from these guys.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Get Dorked. Some old rad Ed Roth stickers.

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.

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.
