Lowers

Maggie grabbed this snapshot of a slightly bumpy Lowers last Thursday. I had the GH fish out here and loved every second. It’s such a fun board to flying down the line getting in tons of turns and bumping floaters off the white water.

No call? Actually looks like your local break will be my local break in a couple of weeks.

Btw - Nice photos Mags :)

Yes Rob! Looks so fun, I wish I was there right now. Really missing SD to say the least… I have to drive 7 hours to get to the coast when its firing and that doesn’t happen all that much. I surfed Friday April 5 at Rye on the Rocks in New Hampshire and it was going ballistic. Easily 2 feet overhead with some double overhead bombs rolling through. I took a severe beating and got held down for a while, but finally managed to get a couple sick waves. Perfect left point set up, long rides, easily room for 10-12 big turns, 250 yard rides!!!!

This video-gif explains why there isn't a subset of surfers that drive around looking for gnarly roofs to drop in on.

Kookbox (Joel Tudor's new board company) launches it's site. DONT MISS the trailer for the new jbrother film Shorter (Click movies/shorter trailer) or the JT Archive. I wish I could log as good as mini Joel circa 1989.

I've been following Malwitz Custom shapes from his beginning. It started as a way to watch the east coast scene and the backyard scene grow at the same time. I really couldn't believe that surfing had spread so far and wide, that backyarders were popping up in major cities with intimidating routes to the beach. Fast forward to today and the duder's shapes are looking really straight and he's moved on to harder game, like hollow wooden rides. All I can say is "wow" and keep blogging & shaping brody.

Thomas Campbell has a brand new site up! It's absolutely insanely packed full of art, crazy films, a blog (we demand more blogging Tmoe!), a shop: (art, ts and movies, books, oh man...). Just go go go go. The site is the work of The One Peter McBride.

Drift Mag issue 07 is out now. You've got to give it up to Drift... they cover the surfing the other rags don't. It's the surfing you want to see... logs, fish, wooden shelf material as surfboards, thrusters, everything, AND they support the surf blog community. The content has only gotten better over time, but is Drift suddenly no longer free? Is it no longer a digital download? Has it tossed the free love direction it started out in, in favor of a traditional mag model?
