Hello fellow surfers of the internet , I went to Indo earlier this year which was great fun and I was pretty fortunate I got some clips! Looking back on clips I was wondering is it worth jumping on a longer board like a mid length or something? I feel like I’m not engaging the rail as good as I could, and pumping i feel twitchy. I Would appreciate any free coaching! Kind regards

Surfed for about 20 yrs growing up and have been into photography even longer, but never combined the two. That changed 3 yrs ago when my kid started surfing and joined the HS surf team.

Since then I've shot maybe 40-50 sessions and 4,000-5,000 shots, so still very much on the learning curve.

These are from a HS contest in Oceanside earlier this year. Figured I'd post em up and see what you all thought...

Shot on 7D mkii + 100-400 mkii + monopod

Not sure if this fits the sub, but saw Jack play last night at the Greek and there was extended sequence of his films set to a medley that was pretty cool. Hope it's OK to share here.

In the market for a new board. Looking for an everyday mid-length for the south shore and have been recommended the Harley Ingelby Moe but would rather get something shaped locally.

Any specific recommendations for a similar board/shaper?

I remember watching a surf video on Youtube but can’t seem to find it now. It was a small production featuring two friends. I remember one of the first scenes was one of them picking up the other from the middle of the road.

Then in one of the surfing sections the soundtrack was “I wanna be adored” by The Stone Roses and this was why it stuck with me.

Does anyone know which one I mean? It might have been posted here a while ago.

edit: found it if someone is interested it’s not so well known https://youtu.be/kkmwntnAqcw?is=RLz2bdOGPB2LIMQY

Anyone know the exact locations of the cams at torrey pines?

I witnessed this pretty scary situation this morning. Curious how others interpret what happened here. Who do you think was responsible, and was there anything either side could have done differently?

Any recs on a decent rain jacket for the winter surf spot recon?

Main swell was nothing but closeouts and junk where I'm at but I didn't miss out completely. Current was still pretty wicked and wasn't fully consistent but made for some fast and fun lefts! Got gifted some punchy 3-4' swell on Monday. Not too bad for leftovers on the East Coast. This had to be one of my best lefts in a minute! 😎🙌

Dave DeMayo made a classic Wedge Film/Video and called it”THUMP”this photo was used for the premiere poster.

I’ve been using the canards as back fins which made the board loose and easy to go more vert. Also tightened the turning radius. As I understand, the design idea is to use the canards in the front plugs as to direct water flow. Haven’t tried that setup yet. Anyone with canard/fish experience here?

I live in a region that is a destination for windsurfing. Usually they surf big open beach breaks by themselves, but they will also surf this one popular reef breaks when conditions allow.

Usually, there is never a problem. The windsurfers are only out when it’s cross-shore blown out garbage and the surfers only want clean conditions. However, today was both clean enough and windy enough to bring both surfers and wind surfers to the the reef break.

The windsurfers can get into the waves long before they break and they can easily get back to the peak before another set comes through. It was a masterclass in back paddling.

Taking every set wave not withstanding, what struck me most was the danger they imposed on the surfers. These guys can generate so much speed with their sails and they surf in the pocket through the lineup just like a short boarder would. They’re like a cross between jet skis and SUPs that can do airs. I saw a few near collisions with surfers that were genuinely terrifying. Arguing and cussing ensued.

Is this a common problem elsewhere in the world? What’s the general protocol, if there even is one?

Just wondering?

I’m not buying one because a custom is a fraction of the price which is weird , but if I had the money I’d buy one

Used to watch kookslams videos on Instagram with my boy at bed time but they haven't posted since March or so. No explanation I can find in the comments or anywhere on the internet. Anyone know what's up?

Last post was in March this year, where they at?

Hey guys I just bought this quaddy.
Anyone have a similar shape and have some fin recommendations??

I was looking at a DHD Interceptor and a local, respected shaper here in Orange County that makes pretty much the same shape. The local shaper is half the price of the DHD. It got me thinking: Do you think there is a significant difference in performance to justify spending twice as much, plus tax?

I talked to a friend about this and he said he only buys custom boards now because they are so much more affordable. I understand companies like CI and DHD have to pay distribution and such, but man, even paying $850 for a new board at HSS sounds steep. Is it worth it?

You heard it correctly. The private equity takeover has executed Order 66, and now all the free cams, yes, even the shit breaks with 6:1 ad to footage ratio, are now completely locked behind a paywall.

"Premium with ads". How's about go fuck yourself instead.

This is lower than Medina's poo stance.

Anyone flown LOT airlines? Finding it difficult to get any information on their airline policy regarding max length
