Gear Talk / Looking to test drive a 9'2" Sunova Flow

« on: April 14, 2017, 08:11:41 AM »

My surf bud Kirby is looking for somebody on the West Coast who owns a 9'2" Flow and wouldn't mind loaning it out for a short test drive. Kirby is located in Santa Cruz, but is willing to drive to points south or north.

Beer would probably be involved for payment.

PM me with details.

An 8 foot juvenile Great White got stuck inside the reef at Pleasure Point this evening.

He (she) put up a good fight, but after an hour of getting beat against the cliff ended up on the beach.

SUP General / Up close and personal at Mav's.

« on: November 09, 2016, 09:31:46 AM »

Check out Titan's of Maverick's FaceBook page right now (11-9) for a live stream from the channel. POV view from back of the ski. Even a trip or two on the inside. Really puts the perspective on how gnarly it is out there.

Buoys are 20 feet @ 17 seconds. Everything is pretty much washed out here on the eastside of town.

So lately i have been asked consistently about my thoughts on the so called "NEW" foil popularity and haven't really said much .. But, yesterday sadly i saw a photo that i new was coming sooner then later.. In my opinion Foils are for open ocean swells, Outer Bombies, and places where there are no people or very few people doing it together.. Foils are dangerous... Very dangerous, and do not belong in the surf zone with the masse's and general public.. Yes Kai and and a few talented kids can probably control the boards amazingly well, but you can't control other peoples actions and movements. I see more and more clips everyday of people trying the foils and i am so scared that someone will pay the ultimate price and die.. Look at this photo below.. If a foil hits you or you hit someone with the foil its going to end badly.. I sure hope the people and companies that are making money off these are doing their best to educate people about the dangers. i don't think this will be the 1st or last incident unfortunately... Im very happy that the gentleman in this photo will be ok.. Please think about your surroundings before you just jump in and start surfing those boards.
