A Couple From the Road

Here are a couple shots from my recent trip up the California coast. The first kept me out of the water at a very sharky surf spot north of Big Sur. The second just scared me. It was found in a town in Central California that was the last place I expected to see the SUP Pimp in action.

Kyping Kaser

Friday's donkey has to be worthy of the weekend. This pic from KaserOne's site fits the bill. I'm not sure what he was thinking, but hey, we knew he wasn't a rocket scientist anyway. Have a great weekend everyone and keep your kids safe this Halloween (keep them away from Kaser's van)!

Squatter's Rights

Pic found by 000.

NOT A DONKEY POST

This video just gave me hope that our sport can be saved. Simply insane. I will surf this wave before I die.

Hard Core

Huh?

Beached Whale

...well, not quite a whale but what was the driver of this car even thinking? Photo from found-shit.com.

Sorry Drew....

I'm not diggin it.

Bloody Ben

I've had my share of run-ins with my board, which got me to see what I could find on Google this morning. Ben has a nice one here!

Kissing Cousins

Believe it or not, these guys are related. Pic sent in by the one and only Frank Booth.

Bailing

I'm bailing on society later this week to try and get my surf back on. I've been out of the water for much of the year due to injury and I'm going to try to shake the rust off on a solo trip up the California coast. Me, a little food, and a truck full of bonzers will hopefully do the trick. YDD will be back next week.

Thanks to the Beluga, we've got this photo. Enjoy your weekend, don't let the DOW get you down.

Thanks to reader Rickoray for the heads up!

Make It Stop, Please

Keep Trying Will

Open Season

Joe Ewing shared this mess of a wave at OBSD. I'd hate to be the guy on the bottom!

How To Impress The Ladies

Shredder "Sloplay" impressively stuffs a girl and posts the pictures on the Internet to show how hard he rips! LMFAO

The Surfing Melting Pot

A surf school in California uses the above picture to attract some clients.

While the above picture to attract others.

It sure would be nice if they put them all together and not highlight the issue. Surfing should be color blind.

Charles "Donkey" Baer

That's right folks, the original Internet donkey. If you don't know about CWB, you've not truly experienced the Internet. I've got about as much regard for Chuck as I do the rest of the world's politicians...that'd be none. Ah yeah, get it on!

Skim Milk Please

I don't normally visit or post pics from Daily Bread since KaserOne isn't my biggest fan. I do like most of his pics though. This is a good one sent to me by reader Brent. Now, everyone be good Internet users and click over to Kaser's site and enjoy the rest of his show.

Canoe Surfing Fun

Almost as compelling as a SUP video!

Impressive Surf Video

OK, so I've posted up some really bad surf videos lately...hopefully this will redeem me. Reader Waldo (where has he been?) sent me the link to this. I was glued to my monitor as I watched it. It has it all: switch-footed ripping, barrels, reverse-fin takeoffs, kickflips. I was in awe!

Another Manasquan Moment

New Jersey super hero. Thanks to reader Bob.

Where's Chevy Chase?

Why must people put up videos of their family vacations on YouTube? This classic has some serious flow-rider action. Great weekend to all!

Lost

One of the few shows on television that I actually enjoy is about to start up again. I hope that they don't let Evangiline Lilly surf though. Pic from Egostatic.com.

Nude

Reader cottons burned my eyes with this one...thought I'd do the same to yours. Trail 6 expression session. I need to go throw up now!

Jersey Girls

Reader Bob sent in these great pics from a recent "event" at Manasquan Inlet.

I Need A Nap

Anyone got a pillow? Sent in by reader Brent, found on MagicSeaweed, and photographed by myphototopix.

Watch the whole thing...I dare you!

Gustav Power Squat

The only time that a power squat is acceptable is when it is accompanied by a bikini. Photo by Russ D.

NIMBY

Well, the ASP has come back to North County....and at my home break to boot! At least they chose a year when the sandbar is anemic and the tide is draining through the jetties in the middle of the heats each day. Hopefully they will not come back next year!

Beached Whales - Thanks Gustav

Hurricane relief volunteers attempt to get these two beached whales back in the water after Gustav forced them ashore! Sent in by reader Kevin who found the pic on a surf forum related to the Gulf.

23 Chips Revealed

I heard from 23 Chips over the long weekend. He said that someone wanted to see him in action...so here you go. I'm skeptical. Pic apparently from SurfInside.

The Teacher

This guy is teaching Little Red (see post immediately preceding this one) how to SUP. I guess all you need is a kayak paddle and an airplane wing and you've got a business.

Pic again sent in by reader Tony, who also says that the "instructor" doesn't even know how to surf. I'm just sayin...

Little Red

Reader Tony sent in this pic of a young Carrot Top learning the ways of the warrior!

Springtime - Don't Forget Your Dress

Reader Nic from New Zealand sent in this fun compilation of how they celebrate the end of winter in their local lineup. Enjoy!

Last Day Of Summer

Reader Geoff was rejoicing at the last day of summer yesterday on the East Coast. He sent in this pic of all the local kids getting their fix...tomorrow they'll be on a School Bus.

Rest In Peace Midget

SPF 1,000

This kid is stoked, but I think he needs more time in the sun!

The Final Straw

Well, this has got to be the ultimate insult. Looks like PaddleSurf Hawaii has knocked off the bonzer design for it's latest high performance SUP's. As a die-hard bonzerhead, I'm very sad today.

A Reminder

This summer has been nothing but a string of injuries for me. Reader rick posted this on another board and reminded me of what I have to look forward to locally this winter. God, I love surfing Swarmies.

Electrocution

Shocking!

Way Too Entertaining!

I love it Steamroller! You're the exception to the rule!

Occupation: Surf Instructor

While I'm hardly a fan of Surf Schools, this guy sure seems to be enjoying his work!

Goat Boat Etiquette

I was thinking to myself this morning that we hadn't had a good Goat Boat post in a while, so I fired up Google. I came across this diagram that should help you all out the next time you're in a heat with your kayak and paddle. I'm assuming that the rules apply for SUP as well, since they're more Kayak than Surfboard.

Donkey Burn

That's going to leave a mark. Pic from SurfInside.

Carmel Swirl

Thanks to reader Thomas for sending this in. It's got a little bit of everything and a nice summary at the end. Enjoy!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!

I watched Mary Poppins with my two little girls last night. Then this video comes up on YouTube...coincidence?

I'm stoked on this youtube find. Enjoy!

Hot Mop

Reader JJ from Seattle sent in this picture of a rather intelligent Janitor cleaning up hot lava in Hawaii. Reportedly, dude burned both legs just to get the pic. It takes a village...

Cardiff Janitorial Service

I'm on a flight to the desert early Monday morning, so I thought that I'd get the YDD out of the way. Here's the latest wardrobe for the Cardiff Statue. Photo courtesy of john4surf!
