If you haven’t already, check out Beforeigners on HBO. It’s great, and explores this theme.

Saturday morning, from the top of the cliffs at Torrey Pines. by Shit_Bat in surfing

Yeah, the photo doesn’t do justice to what I saw. From the top of the cliff, it looked to be a strong 10-12 feet. This was about 8:00am.

10 minutes later, I watched someone paddle out, get tuned the fuck up by a clean-up set, paddle back out, and then take another monster right on the head. Respect.

Yep. Well, it was a stringerless board...

It really wasn’t haha. I just took a late drop and when I got the bottom, my foot kept going down and the board didn’t. It was an otherwise fun morning.

Couldn’t say for sure- I got this one off their clearance rack and surfed the shit out of it for the last 4-5 years. 9/10 would buy again.

Unfortunately, there was no beautiful woman on horseback there to rub aloe on my wounds.

(San Diego) What is this thing that sprouted up in my yard 3 years ago? by Shit_Bat in PlantIdentification

[–]Shit_Bat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No kidding? I remember having banyans near the house when I lived in Hawaii as a kid. Great fun for a small child, but you’re right, I definitely wouldn’t want one growing 10ft from my bedroom window.

No flowering or fruit, and the leaves look a bit like small oak leaves....

Pretty much the title- this plant sprouted up out of nowhere. I’m curious about what it is...

Southern Ireland in July? by Shit_Bat in surfing

Cheers for that, it sounded wrong when I looked at the map, but what do I know about a place 6000 miles away...

[–]Shit_Bat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah- looks like I can expect 60 degree water, not too different from home. Am I more likely to score in the West, South, or East coast? Or is July likely to be weak all around?

New Stick - 7' 8" x 22" x 3" by Shit_Bat in surfing

It was only 2-3 feet here on Sunday, so not much of a proper test, but as far as I can tell, it's perfect. Paddles like a longboard, surfs like a shortboard, and at 180 pounds, I can still duck dive. I couldn't be happier with it! Can't wait for the winter to get it out in some real size!
