    Can we talk about Channel Islands?

    Yup. Picked up a used 5’5 Mini for my son years ago when he was a little grom and learning but the board ended up neglected. One summer I decided to try the board so put Griff’s G10 quads on it and surfed Waddell a bunch. I was blown away by how fun and maneuverable that model is. Great board...

    Creepiest surf spots

    ^Yes, those boils on the left at Davenport make it the creepiest local spot for me. I don't mind padding Waddell during the pre-dawn dark but those boils at Davenport can do weird stuff between waves — water suddenly surging burping up...ugh.

    Shingles Vaccine.. Yay or Nay?

    Totally I got shingles in my thirties. Was at the SC boardwalk with my kids and started feeling sick and felt small bumps on my forehead. At first the bumps seemed like small insect bites but then enlarged and I thought I had poison oak. The bumps got bigger and really started to hurt. Went to...

    Single Fins

    My favorite combo for <6 foot single fin short boards has been simple panel vee increasing from entry to tail. Round tail, wide point up a couple of inches, crisp edge rail tuck, and a >7" TA template Bonzer fin. I tried a lot of different fins, and the Bonzer fin in a single has worked great...

    Detailed Pyzel Dims

    Steve Coletta's website has a cool rundown comparing shortboard rockers and foils from 1990 and 2000 as well as beyond. His website is minimalist but is bursting with design information. As a side note, he's one of the nicest and most articulate shapers around...

    LA 80's Punk Scene

    Fender's Ballroom. Saw so many good shows there as a teenager. Saw so many crazy suicidal and skinhead fights too. Never forget leaving an MDC show a bit early to get home by my curfew and there was a big line of Long Beach PD in helmets and with sticks waiting for the show to end. What a great...

    Shortboard thruster rockers 1980 - early 90s.

    For the OP, the Orbelian "Essential Surfing" book has nose-to-tail numbers for the rockers of 80's thrusters from CI, Rusty, and others. For the last couple of years I have been making myself 80s style shortboards based on the examples in the book with flat/slight vee entry to vee out the tail...
