News: Pacific Shark News Reports

News: No Beach? No Problem. Go Surfing With a Tarp and a Skateboard
It's the newest craze to hit the web and it's called "tarp surfing". Somehow it is out and out ingenious. Simple and infectiously fun (for some reason, the resourceful silliness of it is right on par with CD-R bubble blowing).
9:fish Surfboards: Best Local Fish in LA
9:fish Surfboards are clutch for anyone looking to actually surf LA summer mush. Sunny Trinh and Co. make a line of incredibly versatile fish, starting with the 4'11" Pufferfish and going all the way up to a 12' paddleboard. The thing about 9:fish is that they make boards you can ride!!! Save your performance thrusters for that one day in December and get a 9:fish for the rest of the year.
News: Bocas Weather Can Suck
We've just postponed our trip to Bocas del Toro, Panama... indefinitely. The challenge with surf travel is weather really has to be perfect. Surf not too small, not too big. No rain to wash you and all the gross-ness into the ocean. Then you kind of always want some sun to help you dry off and tan up in between sessions.

News: Troops needed for crowd control..
Here's another news clip on the Texas Kite Festival. Everything should be OK, right? Apparently, it was so important that police dressed in army uniforms had to force the attendees to buses.

We are being prepared mentally to accept their presence as a normal thing. What's ahead of us, I wonder.

News: OMG. Surf then touch a Bigass Whale at Westwards
This one smells like a fish story. It is not. Tuesday April 13, Dave and I got up to surf westward at 7 in the morning. First rate waves. Headache cold water....sun blocked by the cliffs.

It is about 20 feet from us. We follow it for about thirty seconds and pinch ourselves. Have-you-ever? No...
