Doghair

Here is Dodger. When he isn't kite surfing, killing fish, or partying. You can probably find him here. Well, not on a boat trip...just somewhere getting barrelled.

Mute this, But Watch this!

Longboards CAN be surfed "progressively" and smoothly. Check this opening footage of joel at Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, which is certainly not an ideal log wave. Most performance longboading makes me squirm with unease for the surfer himself, but there are exceptions to the case. Joel in Contest style mode (as seen in clip) and surfers like Dodger Kremel can blend it and blend it well. Oh and that looks like a timmy patterson shaped single fin he's riding?
Side note- Honestly what's the deal with shit soundtracks accompanying nearly all longboarding clips and movies? The day a longboard movie (svrfandestroy produced?) comes out with a soundtrack as good as a snowboard or skate flick, will be the day I find religion.

FUCKING AWESOME! (Motorhead content)

These guys do radical ukulele cover songs. Check em' out and have them play at your wedding!

Everybody know what time it is? Toooob Time.

Here is Brett. If he isn't playing bocce ball, putting out fires, or picking up chicks...you can probably find him here.

Geoff Rowley

I have always had a soft spot for Geoff since his section in Seedling.

Here he is gapping the shit out of these containers for a Vans ad.

Longevity Surfing Magazine

I don't really think anyone has ever heard of this magazine...because it was canned after the first issue. Back in 2003, Travis Karian, an upcoming surf film maker, started Longevity as a side project to his surf films (The Cast, From this Day Forward, Log, Arise, among others.)

Anyways, the magazine has a killer interview with Joel Tudor and a sweet article "20 Guys You Don't Know." The article features Cyrus Sutton, Alex Knost, Dodger Kremel, Christian Wach, and svrfandestroy fiend, TJ Ridings.

From the Archives

Here are some shots from about 6 or 7 years ago.

Me at Seal Beach's Jericho's Kids for clean waves contest. I think I'm about 16.










Two of TJ in Hawaii. I think he is 17 in these shots.

Stale clip..bueno shredin

I didn't bring a single surf flick to kauai so i've been gettin my youtube on. This tyler clip (you've probably seen it a dozen times before) is tripping me out. Partly because i'm buzzing, and partly because I used to live in Venice CA with Danimal a couple years ago, and we surfed el porto all the time just because it was consistent. That wave fucking sucks. It fucking sucks even worse for heavy longboards. I don't have a clue how hatch can does it, but he does it. Ohh and I watched this clip with the audio turned all the way down while travis (duderonomy) blasted Nile so hard the windows were flexin.

I Already Have Halloween Plans

...but if I didn't I would be going to this.

" Until the Light Takes Us is a feature length documentary chronicling the history, ideology and aesthetic of Norwegian black metal - a musical subculture infamous as much for a series of murders and church arsons as it is for its unique musical and visual aesthetics...This is black metal as seen through the eyes of those who created it, of those who live it, of those who are at the center of the story of black metal. Featuring: Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell, Varg Vikernes, Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg, Kjetil "Frost" Haraldstad, Ivar Bjornson, Abbath and Demonaz Doom Occulta, Kris "Garm" Rygg, Bjarne Melgaard, Harmony Korine, and more. The film, shot on 35 mm and dv, is directed and produced by Audrey Ewell and Aaron Aites."

No More Group Hugs.

I am tired of everyone thinking that surfing is one great big group hug. It's not.

This isn't hvg&destroy.

So stop hugging and start destroying.

Just like svrfandestroy pal Drewbob is doing right now. You prolly can't tell, but Drewbob most likely shreds this hard from all the Skittles and Mike and Ikes he eats.

Not sure who took these photos of Drew, but mad props fool.

Got My Hands Up Around the Bars...

My boy La$er doodled up a pretty comical logo in English today. Minus the down syndrome Harry Potter. These casket bars need to be put on a t shirt and distributed asap.

Having said that....less logos and more rants/shit talking! Go.

Halloween is in the air...

My lady and I went to the pumpkin patch the other night and scored on a couple mid sized freshies...In honor of our Blogs first legit Halloween coming up i decided to dedicate my pumpkin slashing to the boys at Surf and Destroy...We also cooked the seeds with salt in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes...So tasty!

Burnage

Ok. I am guilty. I burned this dude this morning.

We're both paddling for the same wave, he is a little deeper. I can't see him, as the rights are facing directly into the dawn sun...I didn't think he got it, so I went...got in trim, pulled in, came out...naturally.

Anyways, I kick out, he is shaking his head yelling "Nuh uh, Nuh uh, No!!!" I paddled up to him, apologized, saying I didn't think he caught it. Then he said something about sending me to the "emergency room" (I'm not sure if my story telling ability is conveying how pissed this dude is.)

Anyways, I said "my bad" and paddled away.

Whatever broseph. I had never seen you here before. You show up to a place my friends and I have been surfing for years (every day, not just the days there are swell) after they build this jetty that makes things better than they were before. You are riding a longboard (I was wrong boarding too, but not trying to pretend it is a 6'0") suuuuper aggro-like, and you are wearing a freaking kook kord and its only chest high at best.

Anways, I get out about a half hour later to make it to work on time and I see TJ on the beach. He said it was a sick wave and that guy kicked his board at me on that wave. He said it came close. I was unaware.

Yeah, my fault, but the point of the story is that dude is a donkey, the waves have been firing lately, and they are likely to get better in the coming week.

Whenever I see someone who's ability I doubt, or like in this instance, are wearing a leash on a longboard, it is usually a dead giveaway of their surfing ability...So, myself being the prudent shredder that I am, err on the side of caution because a lot of dudes blow good waves and I am there to pick up the pieces. I get stink eyes all the time because I paddle for waves that other dudes are paddling for, because at this break, there is a good chance they are gonna roll the windows down and flail.

MDJ put it best. "Make waves...not friends."

See you in the water!

ROFLMAO

Drive By Shooting...

of the sunset last week after a post work shred sesh. If you missed it...well...you missed it.

Seal Beach Gun Club

I found this on the Harbour Website. Looks like it is a lam from a board belonging to MDJ. Cloudbreak anyone?

The quote on the laminate says: "Make waves...not friends." So fvcking radical.

Sanding Jesus

i surfed c st this morning, and it was much bigger than expected (the forcast was actually accurate! imagine that!)- my log did not enjoy it, neither did i. i figured i'd spend my afternoon giving Jesus (my chuck dent stubby) a nice fixin' and set up a shot of myself doin' the deed. also, added a brand new upside-down cross in flat black, fresh for tomorrow.
(p.s. - rincon was breaking today, first time this season..)

:L

You are all just a bunch of stupid people getting stupider.

You ever notice how quick everyone is to say that they don't watch TV? "Ohh I don't watch TV", "I read books", "TV is garbrage" and my favorite "I don't own a TV" (Ya but i bet your room mates or parents do you fuck face, and i know you watch The Hills on it)

I read and think TV is mostly garbage too, but you know what? I still fucking love it. It's like fast food. Shitty but really good. Anyways I'm into californication on showtime and I don't think this show is garbage at all. It's nice to see real actors on the shit box these days. Enjoy Mr. Rollins as himself interviewing Hank Moody, who pretty much sums up what we do on this blogosphere and the accompanying feelings that come about as a result.

PM Post

Alright I'm not quite ready to turn in for the night so I figured I'd throw a post up on ye olde blog. Sittin in my room jammin some Cro-Mags and Black Flag 82' demos (which have a totally kick ass version of My War on it btw.) Surf forecast doesn't look too shabby for the next few days. Captmouth will be accompanying me to Poo Port on Friday morning to take a few glamor shots so we should have those up soon. Also on Saturday Danimal and myself will be attending game 3 of the NLDS at the Ravine. Our boys in blue will hopefully be sweeping the Cubs aka Chicago's Ultimate Bitch Squad...nah normally I do like the Cubbies but not when they are playing my Doyers. Should be a good game we'll be sure to document our experience at the ravine as always. Alright thats about it. Smell ya later.

P.S. Fuck you History Chanel. I don't give a shit about UFO's/flying saucers, Big Foot, or the Loch Ness Monster. Give me something halfway decent to fall asleep to.
