International Surfing Day: What We We're Up To

October 12, 2012 1 min read

International Surfing Day

Before you say anything: yes, we did pick up our very fair share of crap off the beach. Then we got down to some very early morning fun in the waves. The conditions were not epic, but definitely very glassy, as is usually the case at 5:30 in the morning. It turned out to be super fun with a couple just like this, but due to excessive fogging on the go pro, this is by far the best wave shot of the day. It does not need to be 3 feet overhead to have a good bodysurfing sesh: you just need you and a good friend!

Beans got tucked into a few of these nice little foldover's, and then they were gone with the high tide and we left with sweet salty memories. Thank you so much to Surfrider for their epic organizing or the international surfing event.

Hand slyde

The leash works amazing i won't go out without my leash on....

Bula hand board

This handboard is exactly what I was looking for. The size and craftsmanship is fantastic! I have gotten some great rides with this board. Super fun.

Ready for the Senior Tour

I received my Slyde Phish just before 2 weeks of gloomy weather. Now that I’ve had a chance to road test it, I can’t wait to get back in the water.

Growing up in Long Island NY, body surfing was my first wave gliding experience. Typically we would drive straight to shore so surfing the diagonal has been a learning curve.

I look forward to many great sets this summer.

So much fun!

These little boards are amazing! We bought a couple to bring with us to Hawaii and had a blast.. super easy to travel with, just fit right in my backpack. Made riding the waves so much fun and worked just as good as a full sized boogie board one of my friends had. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to try it out again!

Love my Bula!

I recently been spending a lot of time on the North Shore of Oahu, and there’s nothing better than the Bula for bigger more intense surf. Too much fun brah! Mahalo nui loa!
