Another wave pool video

How does that song go? "I wanna be a billionaire so frickin' bad....".... so I can build a wavepool like this!

NJ to HI travel blog

Longtime acquaintance "Moonie" recently relocated from NJ to HI and chronicled the move and his time now spent there. An entertaining collection of words and photos as he drove cross-country, spent some time exploring the CA coast, and eventually made his way over to the rock.

The blog displays in reverse-order (most recent on top), so backtrack through the blog to virtually take the journey along with Moonie and his girlfriend.

Surfline's Punt of the Year contest

A compilation of some of the sickest airs of the last year. $10k awarded to the best air caught on video. Some sick stuff in this collection so far; I'm partial to Flynn Novak's flip and Gorkin's inverted rotation.

Why you should never bail your board

This video not an NJ clip (it's C-street in CA) and is a bit brutal to watch, but a good reminder as to why you should never bail your board.

Word is the guy who ate the bailed longboard was unconscious for 3 minutes and got 27 stitches to the face.

12/28/11 videos

Well, obviously the high pressure held off much longer than originally modeled, so instead of going offshore and blowing conditions down and out by daybreak, it created a "backdoor cold-front" boomin' South swell, testament t0 how much can change when slight changes/inaccuracies happen in the models.

A few videos of the results have been showing up on YouTube; here are a few until I find some more.

I'll be honest with you, it's F*(King killing me I was out of town and missed this one.







NubTV year in review

Pat Pat Taylor tells it likes it is, musing on Kelly Slater's success (and baldness), Dean Randazzo/Sam Hammer/the Garden State Grudgematch , Bobby Martinez's quitting the tour, Brazilians, Surfline, ESM, SUPs, etc. A spoof well-done.
