Green Wax?

Sticky Bumps is leading the way with their recycled deck pads and environmentally friendly wax. I have already been using the recycled deck pads and they work better then the original!!

Being the first wax company to break away from Paraffin waxes. The Soy based wax that Sticky Bumps designed is meant to work like normal wax...but with the benefit of not being harmful to the environment.


I am super stoked with what Sticky Bumps is doing to make our sport a little greener. That's something we can all be happy about!

My new Noserider

10' x 24.25" x 19.5" x 16.5" x 2 7/8"
Noserider " Jellyphish"



This is a board that Rusty, Hoy Runnels and I have been working on. The board is a Noserider that is its main purpose. It has low entry concave dissolving into a small flat spot which then turns to a slight displacement hull towards the tail with a little flip upwards at the tail block. This creates very little drag while noseriding.

The board has a ton tail rocker which allows the board to flex and counter act the gravity effect, When the tail is pushed down the nose raises (like a Skateboard) It also helps in turning the board not only does my board no seride but it turns like a 9'6... I use a 10" RFC Azul or a 9.5" Isaac Wood Model RFC longrake

I recently picked up a box of Sticky Bumps new wax blends. For the last couple of months, I have been using their base coat with the tour series for my comp boards with the tail pad. For cooler temps, the combo really cant be beat. Just for fun, I use some of the glo wax on my short board and noserider, and found it to work insane! It's a softer, tackier wax that gives you full control during critical situations. Check out all the new blends coming out for 2011 at www.stickybumps.com

PB Summer Classic

Every year I participate in the PB Summer Classic.



Its one of my favorite events and its held at Tourmaline Surf Park in Pacific Beach, CA.



This is the Pacific Beach Surf Clubs annual event to raise money for the club. They had raffle prizes that included a Longboard, a shortboard, skateboards, paintings, t-shirts, and the list goes on.


There is A TON of surfing talent in San Diego, which helps make this event so fun to watch. Every heat I was in was stacked with great surfers.

I was about 8 min late for my SUP heat...I got 4th, and didnt advance. (Im not too bummed) My Local Lineup was filming the event, so I was helping out with interviews and getting footage & pics in between my heats. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to do an interview!

At the end of the day, I wasnt sure how the results were going to turn out,

but I was so stoked to get 1st place!! YES!!!!


Celia did a great job putting together the event.


I cant wait until next year!! Be on the look out for more footage/pics from My Local Lineup!

Doheny Longboard (DLSA)- Old Board Classic June4th

This is one of my favorite contests. (and it gets me ready for the OMBAC old board contest!) Doheny Longboard Surfing Association puts on the yearly Old Board contest at Doheny State Beach.



The drive isnt bad, but the State Park fee will get you everytime. Im seriously considering just getting a year pass... anyway. Oh, what board did I ride?... a BIG thanks goes to Bird at South Coast Surfshops, for letting me ride the 68' Hanson 50/50. This has been my second consecutive year on it, and amazingly enough, that board has helped me bring home several trophies. I was excited to ride this board again.



When we arrived, I wasnt sure the conditions were going to hold up.



Luckly for us, there was AWESOME swell all day! The groms ripped it up on the old boards. Its fun to see them get stoked on old shapes.




I made it through my first heat, then on to the semi-final heat. I was getting warmed up, and that is just an awesome wave to ride an old board on. I made it through and was in the finals!

What a heat! there was some great surfers in the finals heat. There was a total of 6 of us, and all are great surfers! In the end, I was super stoked to take home the win.



Thanks to the DLSA for always making me feel welcome. Your a great Surf Team!!

Cabo story #5- The Arch

The last day of our trip, we took a paddle across a bay to the Arch. It’s the Southern most tip of Cabo San Lucas. We had 3 SUP’s, backpacks and a couple of cameras and set off on a 5 mile (give or take) journey. Along the way we ran into schools and schools of Manta Rays. They were breaching the water and flying like birds. They would then belly flop back into the water. There was over 40 Manta Rays jumping out. We were a bit freaked out that they would breach and flop on top of us or the boards. When we got to the Arch, it was amazing! (Be sure to see the episode on My Local Lineup, I'll share the air dates as soon as I have them. ) The water was crystal clear, but the currants were horrendious. There was a combination of ground swell hitting the cape and making gigantic crossed up ground swells. It make if challenging to but more exciting as well. When we returned, we all agreed that it was the highlight of our trip, and we all just wan to do it again.
