So I'm sipping a Mai Tai on the balcony of my hotel room, peacefully enjoying the afternoon. I glance to the north and I see something that frightens me.

Yes, it appears that Duke Kahanamoku's lagoon is now an SUP breeding ground. During my week or so visit to the island, I saw between six and eight SUP lessons from my vantage point 30 floors up.

I even tried to squish this one with my finger, unsuccessfully.

Aloha!

Too Many Burgers Tom?

Bellyflop? Wounded Seagull? Fatburger Flyer? In any case, hilarious. Pic sent in by reader TomsBurger.

Celebrity Surf Camp

All my favorite things rolled into one. Actually, this was quite entertaining, even though I didn't know the "celebrities".

Minnie Mal Driver

While I've heard only good things about Minnie's respect and etiquette in the surf, celebrity photo ops with surfboards still make me cringe.

The Newport Nutties

Hard-core Newport locals, photoshopped by Awe.

Shred The Gnar

Surfermag BB member ShredTheGnar outing himself in this fantastic shot. I personally love the long-john wetsuit and dry hair elements of the photo!

Mexican Faceplant

Somewhere south of the border. Ouch!

Winter's Last Punch...

After surfing some windswell this week with a little southern hemi sneaking in, it dawned on me that the winter wave season is almost over. In fact, I even trunked it twice this week. In honor of the final goodbye of winter for the year, here's a pic sent in by reader Copeland.

Doggie Style

This dog is surfing better than half the guys out at Swamis on any given day.

Exhilarating

This pic really gets my blood pumping!

Granny Rocks!

Something tells me that the Grandma on the right is about to do some heavy trimming on that board. I can't say the same for the other Grandma's rubber ducky...the rails look a bit too knifey!

Booger!

Shipsterns in Tazzie. Idiot booger. Pic from Swell.net.

Sorry for the delay...

Back and ready to roll. Scored a bunch of windy north shore action, not much to write home about. Oh yeah, there's an SUP epidemic in Oahu at the moment. More later.

Nuts!

Speedo & booties. Unreal. What was equally humorous was that this picture was sent in by reader OregonSurfer. I guess he was dreaming of warm water! Thanks OS, keep 'em coming.

I'm off to the islands tomorrow and can't promise a daily update for the next week. Perhaps I'll get lucky with my internet connection!

Cup Cake

Wow. This "Urinal Surfing" video came up in a youtube search for "surf".
Unbelievable what people do.

For Eric

A real SUK.

Repeat?

My apologies if this has been posted before, but I came across it again this morning while browsing Google images. Love the shades Paris, love the shades!

...And More Gear

Reader plcasey1 was inspired by this gem. I like the ghostly dude in the upper-right in the pink shorts...adds an element of mystery to the pic.

More Gear

Discuss.

Gear

Alright, I'm looking for a logical explanation of the following: spring suit, booties, long sleeve rash guard.......GO!

An Instant Classic

Reader Alan M. fell in love with the "Jazz Hands", but I also like the fact that this guy is so light on his feet. Pic taken by Brad Sharples and found on Surfline.

Barrel Hannah?

Hmmmmm......

This guy must be checking the quality of his pedicure.

Boofay!

Wow, to read his books, one would think that he could surf a little better than this. Video found by Idgit.

A Novel Idea

Let's take our boards down to water's edge, sink the fins in the sand, lay/sit on our boards and talk about our day. Better than a knitting circle.

The Future of Surfing

Sadly, this is where we're headed folks!

Sick Day...

Sorry folks, was down yesterday with the flu. This video picked me up a bit today. Good fun!

Sit Back, Relax, Enjoy the Show!

Burro

There are some gems in this video, including an appearance of spring-suit booty hood man!

Finless

At first glance, I thought of the old Knight Rider series when Michael (the Hoff) would tell Kit to Turbo Boost. Then I looked again and something struck me as odd...it doesn't look like this board has fins. I can't say for sure, so I thought I'd post it up to see what you think.

Vasectomy

After my second daughter was born, I told myself that I'd get myself to the doctor and get the "snip". Well, I've been lagging (my youngest is now turning two), but perhaps this is a new technique that I should look into. Reader copeland sent in this "Pintail" photo, found at the Jam Longboard Forum.

Snapped @ Snapper

That's going to leave a mark. Photo TK.

Chelsea Clinton

I didn't realize that the former first daughter had taken up surfing.

Tending To The Herd

I spent some time in the country. This video reminds me of watching a herd of sheep in a pasture.

Lost in Translation

In honor of the Lost theme (TV show), these pics were sent in by reader John Locke.

For those of you buying Chinese Popout surfboards, here's the beach experience that you can get in China...truly conducive to the surf livestyle.

Here comes a setwave.

Post-session grinds, they've got 'em!

Now, think twice before you buy that nice new shiny surfboard with that "Made in China" sticker on it!

Taking It A Bit Too Far

This guy has it all: trucker hat, webbed gloves, funboard. That's a surfer ladies and gentlemen.

Almost as humorous as the pic, it was sent in by reader "Pepsquad"! Keep them coming.

Oh Boy, More Roy!

What type of wave would you ride on this thing?
Any one you'd want.
