Morgan Maassen Week - Poetry

Check out Morgan's website for his photos and videos.

Morgan Maassen Week - Off The Grid

Going off the grid requires innovation. This guy's on to something BIG. Photos this week courtesy of up and coming surf photographer/videographer Morgan Maassen.

Fail!

Sent in by reader Jake, origin unknown.

Drop by next week when we feature photos by Morgan Maassen.

Wanna Fight?

I saw this on Daily Bread a while back and thought it needed to be seen again. Most people take it to the beach, these two can't wait to settle their spat.

Photo J. Hall. Visit his site if you've got a moment.

Booger

Three to the Beach

Back in the 80's, the NSSA mantra for success involved getting three waves to the beach during your heat. This guy took it literally and paid the price. Pic sent in by reader Alan, found somewhere in the Surfline user photos.

What Did You Do This Weekend?

This guy went to the Salt Creek Spa and got a facial.
Photo courtesy of reader Rick.

Joe Ewing Week - Hello!

PS. I'm preempting Kaser here and denying that I'm in the top pic.

Joe Ewing Week - Spring Suit Booty Dad

Sorry kid...we can't pick our Dads.

Joe Ewing Week - Double Take

Joe Ewing Week - Lobster Bisque

A couple from the Lounge.

Joe Ewing Week - Hit the Showers

Kicking off Joe Ewing Week, this poor soul is already headed for the showers....we've all been there, including yours truly.

Gulf Coast Weekend

This is how they do it! Don't forget the blow-up whale.
Pic sent in by reader Reese, from Gulfster.

Next week is Joe Ewing Week. If you surf anywhere between La Jolla and the Cliffs, watch out...you might be featured!

Butts Up!

Who's got a tennis ball? Photo sent in by reader Alan...not sure on the source/photographer.

Humpday Special

I would not recommend this, no matter how backed up you are. Loss of manhood in 3....2.....1.... Pic sent in and taken by Joe Ewing.

Kumbayah!

My lord! Sent in by reader copeland.

Siamese Surfers

Attached at the cheek. Pic sent in by reader Alan.

Save Me!

Photographer Joe Ewing sent in this priceless moment of an Abs local who couldn't climb the cliff to get back to his car. At least that's what I heard was going on here...

Beach Parking - Oregon Style

Just another day at the beach in Oregon...they haven't learned about "high tide" yet. Sent in by reader Morgan who found it HERE.

Ninja Wednesday

Sorry for the technical delay, I think blogger was afraid of my Ninja. Special thanks to reader Alan who sent this in. Reportedly found over at surflie.

A Perfect Use For SUP!

Thanks to reader Thomas for the link.

What does this guy think he's actually accomplished?

Bill Part V - A King Is Born

This is by far the most excellent picture I had the pleasure of viewing from the Hurricane Bill swell, and maybe in all of 2009. It truly doesn't get any better than this. I pronounce this gentleman as:

The King of Bill! All hail the king!

The photo was captured by Joey Wilson and first sent in by reader Robert (although many others sent in the same, Robert was the first).

Bill Part IV

Reader cottons sent this in yesterday, but it cracked the top five...proving that it's never too late for a good submission. Speaking of submissions, this guy is about to submit to a Bill-induced nap.

Bill Part III - Stuck In The Middle

The surf shops/ding repair guys got a boost from Bill. This was the best one I saw, compliments of reader Bryan. Check out his Pioneers Board Shop here.

Bill Part II

Now this is what I like to see, two morons fighting their way to the bottom of the evolutionary ladder. Pic originally sent in by reader Stephen.

Bill Part I

Kicking off Hurricane Bill week, reader Megan sent this one in. Sea crabs? Photo Bill Moore.

Worms

You know that move a dog does when he's got worms? Usually it's in the backyard on the grass, but sometimes on the carpet. Well, this guy is doing his best impression while surfing Lobster Lounge. Odd, to say the least. Photo Joe Ewing.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Seriously, nothing good is about to happen here. Pic sent in by reader cottons!

I'm finalizing the Hurricane Bill submissions, top 5 will be shown next week. Send yours in if you want to be considered!

Are You Bummed, Man?

I love this pic from Joe Ewing. Classic OB moment.

PS. I didn't realize that they make bell-bottom wetsuits these days!

PSS. I've been getting a lot of material from Hurricane Bill. We'll do a week-long tribute to HB rippers next week!

Eating Magu

Reader Randy sent this one in from the recent Magu contest. Looks like one of the contestants forgot that this spot eats funboards for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Smile, You're About To Get Owned!

According to eyewitness accounts, this girl went face-first into the trough, swallowed a bunch of water, exited the water, and vowed to never surf again. One down....one million to go! Let this be a lesson to you guys, the boyfriend/instructor was certain to get no action for some time after this.

Photo reader Rick.

Stale Bread

KaserOne over at Daily Bread occasionally throws me a few scraps. Enjoy the weekend folks.

A Truly Touching Moment

I guess that the old saying is true...there's someone out there for everyone! These two are meant for each other. Snapped by reader Rick!

Parallel Pete

Sweet. Click on pic for a larger version.

Pier Dancing

Photographer Joe Ewing sent in this one as well. Pier-view in OB. Impressive extension of the left leg.

Fiesta!

I'm not sure what is going on in this pic, but don't want to know!
Photo Joe Ewing.

Mixed Bag

This guy has it gong on. Thanks to reader alan for the find. No thanks to the website who cut me off.

Sponge Worthy?

Post-swell carnage provided by reader Rick.

Spit or Swallow?

I'll take the spit everytime...especially on a wave like this. Reader cottons sent this in with a note: My friend who sent this swears there is an SUP and paddle in there somewhere...

What the.....

Anyone got a name for this? Will it be the next sport of "watermen"? Will Laird do it...or has he done it? So many questions, so few answers. Reader zebulun sent this in with an appropriate file name: oh my god...

Bank Shot

More sterling-spencer Surfing >>


(Reader morgan found the video once again. Excellent work!)

I'm traveling Monday, on behalf of a bank (a client)....so I give to you "The Bank Shot", compliments of reader Gustavo! Enjoy ladies, see you Tuesday.

Got a Cherry For That Sundae?

Every sundae needs a cherry on top. Here, reader Rick provides us with the cherry for the "Costco Deathgrip" post...a follow-up of the same guy later in his session. What would you like on your tombstone?

Costco Death Grip

Reader Rick sent this beauty in. More madness at Salt Creek!

Roy Stewart Status?

I think this guy could give Roy a little run for his money...all he needs is an orange springsuit and booties. Thanks to reader Pamela for the link.

The Downside of Swell...

...Traffic! By the way, the two guys on the left side of the picture are the reason for bringing this photo to your attention. Pic by reader Randy.

Rhode Kill

There are no words. Click for a larger version of the picture. Sent in by reader Greg from Rhode Island.
