I think this is a good time to remind everyone that with the world government’s failure to properly manage fish populations, it’s up to you to eat less fish. Unless you caught it yourself, make wild caught fish a special treat. Eat it rarely and try to stay away from species with large bycatch like shrimp or species on the verge of collapse like bluefin tuna.

Nathan Oldfield recently shot Ryan Burch and Eric Snortum surfing Tom & Jon Wegener’s Alaias…

I surf with Ryan quite a bit at various Encintas and Cardiff breaks. Whether he’s nose riding, throwing buckets on a thruster, riding a wooden plank or his homemade finnless contraption with the McDonalds lams in overhead stormy windswell (leashless), the dude rips.

Nice work as always Nathan. Makes me wish I hadn’t gone gay for Chase Burns last week. Enough internets. I’m looking for some wax and going for a surf.

I’d never heard of him before now and I have no idea what he looks like. He may even have man boobs, but fuck it… I’m going gay for Chase Burns based on his editing. Sorry MMM and sorry Chase. Hope you don’t mind getting man-stalked.

I used to fly electric aircraft with cameras attached and shoot pictures, so this brings back some memories.

Fun stuff.

I want an Owl Chapman single fin gun so freaking bad…

Apparently there is a whole subclass of youtube devoted to something called chain surfing. While this guy is actually pretty good at it, I think it should be called chain kooking, because if I see you waving your arms around like these people… I’m going to burn you.
