Lack of real waves tearing at my sanity. Listening to Mind Eraser helps.

Clever Lines

Read about Russell Crotty is Surfer Mag and was blown away by his California Homegrounds series. I wish there was some way to have them printed to the masses, because I do not have ten grand to spend on one. Love the vibe and style of his work and dig his philosophy when it comes to why he does what he does.

Brought Back to Life

Day 1:



Day 2:


DIY or die. Or have Vans sponsor you and claim DIY. Regardless, this is one of the more interesting contests I have seen and makes me excited about the surfing world outside of myself and the local yocals that frequently surf south jersey.

You Weren't Right

Between every media outlet's "in depth" coverage of the snow and every Tom, Dick and Harry's coverage (i.e. blogs, facebook photos, twitter updates), I've about had it with snow. Not the snow itself, just the constant talking about it. That doesn't mean I'm not good for a couple more pictures, because if the internet has taught us anything, its that it can give the unimportant the illusion of being important (this blog for example who's readership probably has dipped to new lows). On with the show:


Started digging out early yesterday to hopefully make it over to Ocean City. Pretty tough job...


Until you turn the corner and see the rest of the driveway. Life's not hard you're just soft.



Was dug out by lunch and headed over to OC in the afternoon. 10th street looked fun, but wasn't sure what the rock situation was with all the erosion. Found this stair set up that looked fun as hell with a sled or snowboard.

Skipped over 7th, mainly because it was a mess including a guy ripping around on a quad. So I pulled up to the next spot and it had about five guys out and looked super fun. I grabbed a couple pictures before heading out in the water. Being that I had surfed in a week or two and had just shoveled snow for three hours, I opted for the less consistent side of the jetty, especially since there was a guy shooting pictures and wanted to avoid any documentation in case I was rusty.
The offshores made it a little tricky getting into the wave, but held you up pretty nicely for noserides like this unnamed fellow is heading for.
I think I took this one before I went out. Mystery rider with good form. Wetsuits make it tough to recognize who's who, but this guy was ripping on his single fin.
In case the water wasn't enough of a workout, you could stop by the outdoor gym at 919 and work out. Why would you want to work out after surfing: Because Stone Cold says so!
Cold, but not cold enough to make it an uncomfortable session. All things considered, I really didn't feel cold until I was a block or two from my driveway.

Drop Dead

Been on a huge Mind Eraser kick lately, which is always a good thing. When I found this video of Mind Eraser covering Siege, I thought by clicking on it, I would some how start a black hole in the universe or something. After viewing, it comes pretty damn close to it. So good.

Full Spectral Dominence

So I went to the Youngblood Fest to catch the Rancor Reunion. I also took some very poor pictures of a couple bands that came out even worse than I expected. Here they are:

Work gloves on, it's time for No Tolerance! One of my favorite bands on the day.

Mind Eraser was a definite highlight:

Lion of Judah. Never really was into them, but they sounded pretty good live. Crowd was into them.

Break out the vegan water...Oh No! It's the Rancor!
A great set of stuff off of both seven inches, the demo and the Time is Now comp and "Clobberin' Time", a Floorpunch cover and a judge cover. Just insane.
Saw a bunch of other bands too, but the pictures either looked worse than these piss poor quality photos or I didn't bother to take any, but still good. Tons of great merch, Vegan Treats, and good bands made for a great showcase and I was able to pick up the new Carry On LP and the 2nd press of the new Mind Eraser, so I was happy. Despite the three hour drive there and then the three hour drive back, it was completely worth the trip.
