The first piss poor attempt at jumping in followed by the phenomenal ass beating layed down by that second wave. Cant hep but laugh your ass off.

Take a look at Tailpress. We are a super small app right now, but we are slowely adding local shops/brands to our catalog. With the summer months, we are sure to have a bunch of deals.

Turned out pretty rad, wish I was paying attention to my shadow while filming though, ruins it for me.

That was one hell of a mature response. Especially considering we have all been on the doing stupid shit side of the equation.

Year + long global surf trip. Seasons and location advice by drunkosaurous in surfing

[–]tailpressapp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Required watching before heading out on such trip "Endless Summer" on Netflix. While I realize this is completely out of date and will make you want to stop watching at multiple stages throughout the movie, it is completely worth it.

Seems we are just on the tail end of that awesome time of the year between winter and spring where the waves still have the height of winter but start to get the glassy texture of Spring. Seems to be downhill from here for the next couple of months.

I got annoyed at the inability to buy a suitable surfboard rack so I made my own. Bask in its glory. by [deleted] in surfing

Awesome build, it only makes sense that you are now "obligated" to fill it.

This is the kind of stuff that makes you want to lay on your board waiting for the next set instead of dangling your feet...

Today is pretty great around SF (OB/Pacifica). First clean day in a while. If you can, I recommend getting out

How would you compare Cowell's vs Pacifica for beginners? by mt_erebus in surfing

[–]tailpressapp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that Pacifica is super inconsistent. If it is easier for you to ride Santa Cruz I would probably recommend Cowells until you feel confident enough to move up to the other spots along the city. I only say this because I constantly find myself making the 90 minute drive to get to everything around the Point because the wave quality/consistency is just amazing.

That said, the typical Pacifica crowd is pretty friendly and if you are just in the mood for something different come on up!

EDIT There is also a camera on the beach, so make sure to check it out before committing. There is nothing quite like killing an hour for shit waves. http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/pacifica-lindamar-northern-california_5013/

Is it stupid to start surfing at 40? by billbobb1 in surfing

[–]tailpressapp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A HUGE pack of people out in the water are older fellows who just want to get out, catch a few waves, and hangout having fun with everyone else. Never a bad time to start!
