Great Lakes

I guess if I lived on the Great Lakes, I'd have time to get good at photoshop too. Reader Jamie, a Great Lakes surfer, has a little fun with a Lake Janitor. Can you tell, he's not a fan of sweepers.

Cartwheel

Keep it on the blacktop buddy!

PS. Congrats to Kelly Slater on the big win today, in spite of a truly great donkey moment in the final when he got sucked over the falls! Epic.

Tom Gregg - YOU ARE NOT A SURFER

No pic today, only notice of a douchebag. Get the word out, this guy is no longer a surfer.

From the LA Times:

Surfboard manufacturers have a number of concerns -- heavy competition, expensive shipping and employees who occasionally like to slip out early when there’s a good break.

Product-liability lawsuits typically aren’t one of their worries.

That’s what makes a lawsuit that recreational surfer Tom Gregg filed against Channel Islands Surfboards a little unusual.

Gregg contends that a fin on his Channel Islands board cut a “deep gash” on his right leg when he wiped out off the coast of France in 2009. He said the fin severed muscles in his leg and caused injuries so severe that he will never regain full muscle strength in the injured leg.

“The surfboard, fins and their component parts were unsafe for their intended use,” Gregg said in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Scott Anderson, general manager of Carpinteria-based Channel Islands, said it’s the first product-liability lawsuit filed against the company that he’s heard about. “I’ve been here 20 years and I haven’t seen one,” he said.

Anderson declined further comment.

Gregg’s attorney, Jeffrey Karpel, said the fins are so sharp some surfers cover them with protective sleeves. Gregg was not aware of that before the injury, Karpel said.

Channel Islands, acquired by snowboard company Burton Corp. in 2006, is one of the world’s largest surfboard manufacturers. Its boards are sold in more than 400 stores around the world, Anderson said.

Face First

I guess he's preparing a karate chop to break the surface before he breaks his face?

Drop In...

TGIF. I hope your drop into the weekend is less painful than this guy's.
Is it winter yet?

Rage Against the Machine!

Reader Rick found this video of a "Surf Machine". I'm not so sure about that.

Fish Getting F@ck#d!

"Fish Getting Fucked" is the caption of this photo from carvemag.com.

I don't disagree with their analysis.

Lulu's Facelift...

...I mean face plant. Thanks to Lulu's Dad for embarrassing his rising star once again. That wave looks fun, by the way, she should have been out on a short board!

Yadin Hatin....

Absolutely brutal final of the USOpenofSurfing. Slater basically surfed by himself.

Really?

The Future Is Now...

We can only hope that this is the future of SUP. Home made and as big as a picnic table. I don't think too many of these would make it into the lineup.
