And in Lima, that means that La Herradura is probably doing its thing... here are a few quick snaps from our last bit of swellage... possibly a quick video clip to come

Chile Trip

2011-09-01T23:02:00.000-07:00

Took a trip to Chile. Stayed in Santiago, then Punta de Lobos, then Santiago. It was fun, relaxing, neat, cool, refreshing, radical, pretty, enlightening, cold, nostalgic, sexy, intoxicating, bodacious, and fun; or at least a few of those things. The pics offer more than my sub-par writing skills ever could, so BAM! get some:

IN LIMA

2011-02-03T17:32:00.000-08:00

I've been here for a bit over a week so far... have had plenty of fun times and fun waves already... last weekend was pretty great... a few of us stayed at a friend's beach house to celebrate another friend's birthday, even though her actual birthday is today(Happy B Day Claudia!) umm yeah, i guess here are some pics:

whooooaaaaahooohoooo

2011-01-18T20:50:00.000-08:00

man it's been a looong time since my last post on here.... i'd love to say it's cause i've been really really busy, but i think it's cause i just didn't feel like it....well... what a lucky summuvuhbeotch i am.... looks like i'm moving to Peru this weekend for about 6 or 7 months..... in celebration i'm gonna post a bunch of random stuff this weekend.... if i get around to it.... for now, a continuation of some pics i posted before of this super secret spot in Lima...

New Camera. New Video.

2010-10-10T15:01:00.001-07:00

So yeah, I got a new camera not too long ago... I spent a couple hours at Windansea one evening a couple of weeks ago getting some footy... nothing too great, but got a couple of shots of Joel Tudor which was kinda neat. He has cool style. Anyway, if you're into guys playing in the water in tight rubber suits, then this is for you... couple of shots of some betties also... a little flavor for everyone i suppose. Take care.

summer bummer

2010-08-18T22:04:00.001-07:00

if the water is gonna be as cold as it is, mama ocean could at least throw a few of these our way.... right?

2010-08-09T01:20:00.000-07:00

I find it funny when people are good at skimboarding

Kinda the same way I find it funny when people are named Gaylord

2010-06-18T22:50:00.000-07:00

ok...i got back from a quick last minute trip to Lima earlier this month and have been ultra busy with school ever since...so i'm finally getting around to posting up some pictures from the trip. enjoy. More to come in the near future.

mindbottled

2010-05-11T18:21:00.000-07:00

when i saw the first video here, i was like "damn, i don't know if this is the best thing i've ever seen or the worst!"

then i saw the second one and said "damn, this is the worst thing i've ever seen!"

so by simple logic, i guess the first video is best thing i've ever seen. i really really really don't want it to be, but who am i to argue against simple logic?

anyway, i apologize in advance for putting these in front of your eyes.

Bitchin' Little Skate Clip

2010-03-19T13:17:00.000-07:00

The reason I was never a very good skateboarder is because I hate getting slammed on concrete... My Peruvian friend Ignacio, on the other hand, doesn't seem to mind. End result: awesomeness.

OOOOOHHHH LORDY!

2010-03-18T16:23:00.000-07:00

Holy crap this is the most perfect wave EVER!!!

just kidding...just some less than clever photo-geeking

Baby Huey Carrot

2010-03-18T15:38:00.000-07:00

So I'm sittin' in the kitchen, eatin' some baby carrots, watching some skate clips online.....I come across the most freakishly large baby carrot I've ever seen...It had to be documented. I put it across my brow for scale. I haven't even eaten it yet. For some reason I feel like it needs to be on this earth a little bit longer. If carrots bred, it'd be a breeder. Responsible for keeping the baby carrot gene pool strong for many generations to come.

oh well. Here are some photos of my good ol' days. Ilo, Peru mid to late 90s

a glimpse into a little pocket of the world that has been all but untouched by mainstream surf culture.

la mar

2009-09-26T21:50:00.000-07:00

"He always thought of the sea as la mar which is what people call her in Spanish when they love her. Sometimes those who love her say bad things of her but they are always said as though she were a woman. Some of the younger fishermen, those who used buoys as floats for their lines and had motorboats, bought when the shark livers had brought much money, spoke of her as el mar which is masculine. They spoke of her as a contestant or a place or even an enemy. But the old man always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favours, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them. The moon affects her as it does a woman, he thought."

its a love affair peeps

Also some interesting articles and videos and such. Click the pic and be magically whisked away to the wonderful world of surf economics. ummmm....yeah, i'm kind of a retard.

The Band

2009-03-26T17:20:00.000-07:00

Probably my favorite 60s/70s rock band. Check this interview with Robbie Robertson. He's just an honest, straightforward dude. My kind of guy. Non-bullshit answers. Even when talking about "god" bands like The Beatles and The Doors. I enjoyed it.

Video

2009-03-22T16:49:00.000-07:00

Here's a video I made back when we used to get waves during the winter. Lots of unmade barrels, but some good ones too.
