We has some surf today surging from the easterly fetch from tropical storm IDA in the Gulf of Mexico . Waves and conditions were choppy and waist to stomach high. Jamie, Rufus, Tim , Mark Wrey and I were out on the Stand Ups along with several other surfers scoring waves. Chris Black had this fast left and snapped it on top of the rebounding lip.. There was a lot of chop and bump on the wave face. It was 2-3 ft chop in a 3-4 ft wave.. We all had to work for it today and we were rewarded with some gems.. I snagged a few head high outside nuggets that i was able to carve several turns thru the inside. After a few hours i got out to shoot some video of Jamie. All of Jamie's rides occurred with in a 1/2 hour or so just after high tide.... He had one backside right where he threw the board on the lip and followed the wave as it broke.. Looked impressive in the stormy looking surf.. Looks like crappy, squally rainy conditions forecasted for Tues and cleaning up for Wed..

Small this evening, but cleansed my soul....
Finishing work after feeding 3,000 guests this weekend at the car show that was in town ,I was greeted with knee thigh perfect waves in the most colorful sunset and an even amazing full moon rise before it played hide and seek behind some stratus clouds.. Greg Smith was also out taking in the splendor and I took a few shots of him on some little waves. Although it was only an hour session on the Stand Up in natures wonder, my busy week was erased and my soul was cleansed after paddling and sliding down the line on my first wave.

SUP STORIES: Kainoa Beaupre 'Stand Up Project.'..
A little teaser of Kainoa on a 6-10 SUP
Here is the current topic of Kainoa Beaupre sharing with us his spirit of Stand Up Paddling.. Cool site bookmark it and watch it evolve...
Quote from The Stand Up Project site;
''Kainoa is one of the most dynamic stand up paddlers around. I have never seen anyone get such strange looks while walking down the beach with his board. But those stares turn to ones of awe when he paddles out and starts riding waves. A good person with a big heart and lots of passion for the sport. Kainoa is defiantly one of a kind''

C4 Sub Vector 9-3 , 9-6 , & 10-0 Comparison with C4's Todd Bradley
For all the C4 waterman Sub Vector fans, This is an interview I did with Todd Bradley over at the new C4 Waterman HQ on Coral Street. This video shows Todd explaining the difference between the original C4 9'3" Sub Vector and the new 9'6" and 10' Sub Vectors
Todd's Quote, ''The new C4 Sub Vector 9′6″ and '10-0" has a more progressive rocker for steeper, juicier waves. It’s also a bit thinner and narrower than the original 9′3″.
