Nice effort. Too bad about the lost footage. Water color looks amazing over there in "Oki".

I've been bummin' with this fin cut even though the waves are tiny. Need  need to have this crater close up before I jump back in.

Got to take care of that shit right away. Bacteria in the ocean is nothing to mess around with.

Been doin' just that w/peroxide and alcohol to keep it clean. Four days outa the water now and the last time I was in was for one surf lesson which is equal to two hrs of ocean exposure. Thing is it's so humid now that it seems to be at a crawl closing up. At least it's not oozing puss!

Found another one! No reply yet after 24 hrs though.  If I land it this will be my fourth PSH Ripper, fifth to ride since I did demo an 8'6" Bamboo back in 2012.

I have also witnessed this dangerous fin config. Luckily the surfer was somewhat experienced and switched up immediately.

Funny this post should pop up today. I just received a small vial of CBD which can be Vaped or taken orally. The company is called hemplucid and was recommended to me by a surfing buddy. I loaded an empty Vape cartridge with it and unfortunately the pen overheated and I got this huge hit of CBD which pretty much put me over the top with a buzz. I'm going to try and ingest it at next time because the pen overheated and I'm pretty sure the battery is fried.
What is the best way to ingest orally?  I tasted a little bit of it and it kind of has a hashish flavor

General Discussion / Surf Lessons

I've been fortunate enough this summer to have been offered a surf instructor position. Been at it two weeks now. It's mostly beginners w/the occasional student that has surfed once or twice before or maybe did some snowboarding. Lotta pushing people into waves. Had to do an online CPR test to work at the surf shop giving lessons.

 I hadn't sup surfed in almost two weeks and today I finally jumped in w/it for a few waves and scored a nice fin cut. And tomorrow I have back to back lessons for four hours!

If you want a paddleboard that will fall apart in 18 to 20 months then the Xterra 12.5 touring  board is perfect for you. It’s a shame, we really loved our Xterra boards, we were truly sold on this product.

Yea that is a shame. I've been onboard w/Xterra wetsuits for a few years now and they are really way sweet. My 2mil short sleeve full was $90 and my 4/3 full was only $75! Get on the mailing list and when the specials arrive inbox jump on em, don't hesitate. Pretty sure they're online only w/out a bunch of useless and costly ads in magazines.
I'm guessing those boards you bought are not as bullet proof as the suits so they probably did you right replacing w/a demo board after all that time. If you have any pictures of your Xterra inflatable boards please post them here. YOU HAVE OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION AND INTEREST.
Looks like they only have a coupla boards available at present and have ditched offering any inflatable sups. Nice looking shrtbrds for sure.

I've owned the best (ULI)

Ya get what ya pay for and ULI is def THE best and last word for inflatables. Just ask capobeachboy! Pretty sure this model (Mini quad) is no longer in production. I loved it!
