Fourth of July Swell
OK so it's summer, there weren't really any waves this weekend, but in a sense, there were. The buoys showed nothing, the swell model was a mere two colors, blue, and darker blue. The surfline reports said it was flatter then flat at Rincon. It's pretty obvious that reporter is not to be trusted. As some found out there were rideable waves for all four days of the holiday weekend. Waist high usually, but from Rincon to UCSB there was something to ride with the right tides and times. Water a little chilly, a 45 minute trunking it session was pushing it, but the air was warm enough to make up for it. Good times.
Strap Thang Review
Back in April of 2004 we reviewed the Yakima Strap Thang. Last week if finally broke, but Yakima sent a replacement for free. The updated review is now in the reviews section.
Conner Coffin
D- updates us on one of our local shredsters:
Conner Coffin won the Open Boys Title at the NSSA Nationals at Lowers. He destroyed a head high left at the buzzer to take the win. Just thought I throw out some support for the SB Grom.
The Truck Has Got To Sell
Jeff's GMC Denali is now the for sale for the incredible price of $11,500. Jeff is still willing to throw in the free case of wax for readers of this site. Get on your horse.
