Pulling in on 6'6" stand-o...

Here's a couple shots of Sean Poynter surfing this morning... this kid rips this little stand-o... no pokey, flippy/flap turns either, we're talking serious backfooted carving:

 We (here on the First Coast) are very proud of Sean. He hails from Fernandina Beach in N/E Florida. Always good to see our local Bro's doing well out there. Keep it up Sean,            JD

That's Awesome.... Where were those taken?

Boards certainly are getting smaller - I was out yesterday on my new 6'11" x 27" x 3 7/8" and it was like riding a real shortboard (I'm 165lbs). I think kids are going to get better and better now that the boards are getting smaller and they can really go at it.

Here are a few pix from my session yesterday.... sooo much fun!

Yep- got a chance to do a short trip with him to Northern Baja and was stoked to meet and surf with him- a really cool kid. Guys like this are making stand up look good... I just got a look at the view from the water camera (see it poking out of the lip) from Manny Vargas (mannyvphoto.com) and it's really cool... we're going to post up the "double perspective" thing again with these two photos... look for it late Tuesday night on my site.
