If Mark Rothko surfed, he would have made paintings like Wolfgang Bloch. More at The Surf Gallery.

I usually despise all surf art but Wolfgang Bloch’s art makes me weep like a little girl.

Such amazing stuff.

Love the depth and vastness of his art. Even though his waves are super small way off in the horizon you can still tell that it is pumpin’.

Totally agree. I don´t usually like so much surf art but this is really superb.
Thanks Rob.

Rob,

Thanks for capturing this and most surf related stuff.

Blochs work in general gives me that feeling of discovery, a long trek to a mysto spot, off in the distance you see the cloudbreak you know it’s going off and no ones out and it’s just a matter of time until you get there. Love his work.

If you guys like this work in the slightest, you’ve got to check out Mark Rothko’s color field work. Pictures of it are fine, but go see one in a museum if you can. They always put a bench in front of his work so you can sit and loose yourself in them. I think surfers would relate because we stare at 2 flat planes of color so much: sky and water.

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.
