This is Peso. Other than being an avid Journal reader and being cuter than hell, he also thinks the leash ruined surfing and says you should buy a T-shirt for the holiday season

Endless Summer Promo poster with Mike, Bruce, Joey, Corky, Hobie, and Phil. That's a hell of a lineup right there. Matt has a stack of em for 20 bucks each. Throw him a line at bajaf350@gmail.com Yew!

There aren't too many originals in this world. Fred Van Dyke was one of them. Back when surfers were individuals and rode giant waves and ripped on big wooden boards and carried cases of beer from the market for exercise instead of running underwater with rocks. To one of the great pioneers and waterman. RIP Fred, you will be missed

And to what we are looking forward to this coming season...

A little ode to summer on this labor day, and not too sad about summer turning to fall. Ah, hell. were stoked....

As the old saying goes, The Endless Summer made it popular, the wetsuit made it comfortable, and the leash made it convenient. And Jack O'Neill was pretty responsible for two of the three, as this cool old school add

The word on the delta is the leash ruined surfing is hot. Fisherman, Sailors, and cruisers alike seem to be getting in on the act

1 + 1 = tube....if I had a math teacher this cool I may have actually learned something or cared...

For us surfing and beer are perfect compliments. Some may even say a couple cold ones post session is a near requirement. Here's a simple yet relevant chart for the rest, and for the likeminded as well

From Santa Cruz of the days of yore, I personally love the message, though I think its safe to say the war has been lost...

Can we get this, or at least some kind of version posted at some of the major breaks of the congested regions?...

And you thought the traffic on the 405 was bad...Southern Cal traffic jams are everywhere...

I call these kook hands, though I'm sure that many a good name can be made to describe this, just another kook gimmick...

And to think your job sucks...I couldn't help but love this as the random picture of the day

Hey folks, we just launched the first version of our new website over at theleashruinedsurfing.com ...its a work in progress but its looking good. Check it out, Yew!

Not exactly a dope rope, but another high option for the kooky elite. Brian Conley aside, when is the last time you saw a good surfer sporting a nose mounted GoPro? Betcha gotta think about that one for a while...

Plenty of those out there I feel...

 

 

I want to give The Electric Sunshine full credit for this gem of a bit, they have been known to have some killer goods and bits over at theelectricsunshine.blogspot.com

 

                  "Goon cords have brought on many more problems than they have solved.

Kooks now invade rocky waves, rip off the better surfers & locals, & suffer no damage...

Goon cords are a crutch, a mother, a blanket of security to make up for lack of ability...

I invested in a knife & now cut goons' cords off.

Maybe if enough cords are cut, challenge will become a part of surfing again."

From the surf to the turf, a little old school cool at Augusta with Arnie and Ben...Pro athletes sure were different, and arguably much cooler back in the 50's and 60's...

To hell with GoPro's, Though they do have their merits, Georgie really knows how to do things...
