Here’s a cool article about Kelly Slater from the New York Times.

70percent put me onto these cool videos of Perry Farrell interviewing Kelly Slater. Slater mentions some new wave pool technology that he’s licensed. It’s called Surf the Ring. So far all I’ve been able to find on the web is this one-page site that offers very little info. It’ll be cool to see if they [...]

In case you haven’t seen this already, here’s a funny ad for Surfrider.

Sony Animation has a film about surfing – penguin surfing, that is. I think it’s due for a Summer ’07 release. No doubt when the film is released next summer, it’ll inspire lots of little kids to take to the water. Check out how sweet the waves look in the trailer. Sony’s got the technology [...]

Here’s a little something to help you while away the hours until that five o’clock bell rings.  Oh, that sweet five o’clock bell….  Enjoy.

Competitive surfing events don’t get the same level of media coverage as things like NASCAR and Pro Wrestling because they don’t have the same mass appeal.  The scoring system is subjective and all those land-locked people in the world just don’t appreciate the art of riding waves.  Well, I think these guys have figured out [...]

If I could go back and do college all over again, I’d give some serious thought to doing it like Alexandra Cheney.  Wheaton College granted her a $25K fellowship to travel to some of the world’s finest surf destinations (Polynesia, Australia, Japan, Costa Rica, Brazil and South Africa).  Her mission is to study the intersection [...]

Although this story is a bit dated, I feel it deserves a mention.  It’s a surfboard with a built-in wirelss tablet pc, so surfers can surf (the internet) while they’re out in the water. From the looks of it, the whole thing was more of a gimick to demonstrate wireless technology.  Two years have passed [...]

Double Crown records has some podcasts of cool traditional surf guitar instrumentals (Dick Dale style music). Check ‘em out http://www.dblcrown.com/podcasts.html  You should be able to stream the podcasts in your browser. I’ve listened to most of them.  So far I think show #13 is my favorite. 

We went to the premier of Secret Machine at La Paloma Theater in Encinitas.  The movie is pretty well put together.  I don’t see what Sonny Miller was on about Globe actually having a secret machine that makes surf movies.  All of those shenanigans that were reported in the media may have been a ruse [...]
