Board Blog

Since we have arrived in Bali, the waves have been really fun. Consistent chest to head high surf, slight wind bump, but shreddable to say the least. I got a lovely new quiver of boards right before this trip and have been trying the various shapes in all kinds of waves. So far, I’ve liked […]


Bali!

Bali!

Blog needs some love. We’re in Bali for the world juniors having an epic Time! Here are a few random ones from the last couple of days! Tweet


Lowers Pro Vid

Leading up to the Lowers Pro Parker and I made several trips down to Lowers. We never really scored and most days were incredibly crowded so it took a few sessions to accumulate this footage. Perry threw it together real quick today just before we bailed for the airport to head to Bali. Yeow! Tweet


Hurley Pro

Hurley Pro

This year I was fortunate to surf in the Hurley Pro down at Trestles. Being the lowest seed in the event I had the opportunity of surfing against the two top rated surfers in the world Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson. I didn’t beat either of them, but I sure did have an amazing time […]

People: Raph Bruwhiler

Well, this photo pretty much sums up Raph. Raph is the most bad ass human I think I have ever met. Being a surfer from Canada, you have to put some serious time and effort in if you want to get good waves. Also, you have to not only be a world class surfer to surf […]

5’9″ 18 3/4 2 3/16 fred rubble. This board is pretty much an exact replica of the board I rode throughout the us open. I rode that board so much that it lost a bit of its mojo. Luckily this one feels quite magic and I’m planning on riding it next week at the hurley […]


Proper Surf Etiquette

Proper Surf Etiquette

As you can see in this perfect demonstration below people don’t seem to know proper surf etiquette these days. Just the other weekend Conner and I decided we would head down to surf Lowers. Knowing it was going to be crowded, we still thought it would be one of those days where you just sneak […]


Covers!!!!

Covers!!!!

Mitch Coleborn nailed a cover in a YWT T! He’s a legend as is, but this made him even more of a legend. I guess we’re going to have to come up with some sort of photo incentive or something… ? Thanks Mitch! Tweet


SURFBOARD GIVEAWAY

SURFBOARD GIVEAWAY

A week of nothing ends with something exciting! Parker and I were going through our board room and found this board the other. It’s a 5’6 fishy type of board that is super fun in typical california surf. Both of us have outgrown it a bit so we thought we’d give you guys a shot […]


Electric Wilderness: Ian Gouveia

Ian Gouveia was on our trip to Surfing Village because his pops is friends with Mario and Pablo (owners of Surfing Village). We’ve known Ian for a while and he has always been super friendly and just super rad. He thinks Ryan looks like Jihad Khodr so we have a running joke that we call […]


A Real Surfer.

Mason Ho is the definition of a surfer. Different than a “free surfer”, because I don’t think free surfers have as much fun as Mason does. While watching his videos I can’t help but laugh and get a big smile because he can make such small, shitty, and windy wave look fun. There isn’t one […]

US Open: Video

God Ryan is good at what he does. This is an excerpt from a surfline piece. One that really sums up the way i feel about contest surfing and just life in general. I strongly suggest that any kid wanting to be a pro surfer always keeps this in mind. “He really deserved it,” someone […]


US Open

US Open

Last week was an awesome week. It was US Open week. I posted up at the shore break hotel and surfed lots of fun heats at Huntington and attended many fun gatherings around the event. All week I was having more fun than ever and just enjoying every moment of the crazy week. I had […]


Conner Wins!!!!!!!!!!!

Conner Wins!!!!!!!!!!!

I just returned from watching my brother combo the final to win the 2012 US Open Pro Jr. final. I’ve won surf contests before, and I’ve never been as stoked as I was carrying him up the beach. He’s come close a lot, but this time he did it. All the close calls and all […]


Electric Wilderness Behind the Scenes: The Music

This is Travis and Ben. These dudes are awesome! For our recent movie project Electric Wilderness, we decided to have these two record a special soundtrack that would fit the vibe of the movie. We sat down at a coffee shop, showed Travis some of the clips from the trip, and his eyes got massive […]

People: Tom Carey

Tom Carey is a metal head. Tom Carey is a hard ass. But most of all, Tom Carey likes to have a good time. Apart from these few traits that Tom has, he is also one of the worlds best surf photographers. He has the ability to make a surf trip with bad waves get […]


Tail of The Week

Tail of The Week

A one hit wonder with no name. Sent to us by a friend, Manny, we thought it was well deserving of a tail of the week. Let us know if anyone knows who this mystery girl is. Until then she remains anonymous and mysterious, which is probably for the better. Tweet


Tunage

Two songs for you. Tom Carey inspired. Music with real instruments. Just to clarify, drums, guitar, bass… Loud and raw and awesome. Witchcraft is a mental band. Very Sabbath-esque. Definitely look them up. Tweet
