Great surf in Japan this week!
Here are some pics from a spot in Northern Japan where some of my buddies are surfing. This break has it's days where it just lights up, usually around this time of year and throughout winter. The winds start coming off the mountains and blowing straight offshore and big swells pump out of the North. It gets super good when a big north swell is met by a moderate south swell and creates an A frame

Surf Rat!
He looks like a drowned rat. But clinging to his very own surfboard, this is simply a pet exploring his wild side.Tofu, as he is known, and his 14-year-old owner hit the waves twice a week at their local beach in Hawaii.Along with his fellow rat Fin, Tofu catches waves of up to 4ft and even rides tunnels of water known as 'tubes'.Enlarge surfSurfin' USA: Boomer Hodel with Tofu his incredible

My Bro's Up North Scored Today!
Sometimes I forget how blessed I am living in a tropical paradise! Usually these feelings come on when we are having a flat spell and I see my buddies up North are getting great waves. Oh well next big swell that comes my way, I will forget all about days like these. Still stoked for my mates!

Gadis Bandung - Always beautiful girls
Surfer Girls!
It is time to post a few more pictures of two of my favorite things in life, surfing and cute girls who surf! There was a time many years ago when if a a girl was cute, I didn't care if she surfed or not, but that time has gone (to a degree) Now if she is cute and surfs I am hooked and I can't stop staring! Baby got wax? (Man I get lame at times!) here the pics I will shut up now!
A cool moment!
I went down to a local surf spot here in Japan the other day. We had just had a taifun (typhoon) swell to play with for the entire week prior and as such I was getting spoiled. The waves had been head to head and a half all week, well shaped, off shore, hitting the reef from just the right angle. To tell the truth I was feeling pretty surfed out. The waves were all junked up by a heavy onshore
Pratte's Reef Pulled Down
Pratte's Reef, made of sandbags, was supposed to create ridable waves that a Chevron jetty at El Segundo had flattened. But the structure off Dockweiler State Beach didn't work. Surfers just can't catch a break at Dockweiler State Beach.An ambitious effort to use an artificial offshore reef there to create ridable ocean waves is a

Kelly Slater 9th World Title Interview
The day started with torrential downpours, hails storms and a peaking northwest swell. With that patent unflappable determination in his eyes, Kelly Slater arrived to the contest site 30 minutes before his heat. Already wearing his wetsuit and with board under arm, he snuck through the contest site, whistled at a little dog that was standing out in the rain, and proceeded to scurry down the

Who is the best Tiger Woods or Kelly Slater?
All year the commentators have compared Kelly Slater to Tiger Woods. I think Kelly is sick of it, as he is apparently good at both sports.I think when Slater retires from surfing he will go for the PGA at which point he will throw down the challenge to Tiger Woods, to strap on a leggie and hit the WQS, to see who is really the best.

Kelly Slater Claims 9th World Title in Mundaka
Well it is official, Kelly has won his 9th World title. Perhaps because we all knew it would happen today, maybe because it is his 9th title, who knows, but this win as monumental as it is, seemed a little lack luster.That said, Kelly has done something amazing, he has surfed the best competitive year of surfing on record and done it at a time when he should be on his way out of the top seeded
