A pictorial journey into the hilarity that is surfing in Southern California – with a focus on poor etiquette, bad photography, body contortions, overcrowding, and bad surfing.
Stop by daily to see if you've been caught doing your best stinkbug power-squat...and please, don't be afraid to be my muse!

This sequence is courtesy of Calsurfpix.com, sent in by reader alan m. I love the look of confusion on the grom's face in the background!
I began surfing in 1969 and was riding 5'7" boards by 1970. You could make about 6 of them from one of these things. If someone had told me back then that boards would be 11 feet long and three feet wide by 2007, I'd have thought they were on acid. Which they probably were, but even the acidheads back then couldn't have dreamed this up.
Keep em comin WYD! Love the laughs and congrats on the new gig !
ReplyDeleteEpic sequence...the paddle absolutely destroyed any chance of making a turn like that....
