Happy Halloween

What do you think of  my costume?

Check out the new Surfer...

...especially the "Ask A Local" section.

I'm sure Surfer Magazine doesn't like me posting sections of their magazine on the Internet, but I thought it was nice to see the reach of our No Pop-Out stickers.It doesn't matter what side of the country you try to hide, the long arm of Mckevlin's will still find you.

Good Dharma

 

We don't usually get too many boards under 8' from Bing, but if they look like this maybe we should. This model is called the Dharma and this particular board measures 5'6" x 21" x 2 1/2". The Dharma carries a lot of its volume through the center of the board with a flat deck up to the nose. The rails taper off pretty quickly to a sharp rail with a relatively hard edge (to make up for the loss of maneuverability due to the width). Bings are known for being pricey, but this one is a reasonable $555. Come check it out. 

...Because of Tearfull Wonderment

Check out the trailer My Eyes Won't Dry 3

It's on Wednesday. It's at 7:30 and it's FREE. Why wouldn't you come?

(...because you hate fun and surfing.)

New for aught'11

When Matt Biolos and his crew rolled through town last summer, the Uber Plank was one of Aaron Cormican's board that is going to be available in 2011.

Similar to the Plank in that it is wide and flat, but different also with a winger leading to a more pulled in tail and thinner with more aggressive rails. Check out the video below.

(it's the same board)

Tropical anti-depression...

There aren't many people I miss surfing with in South Carolina, but Cuff and his crew are always a blast to surf with. This image of Cuff getting barreled doesn't even show his real strength, which is huge hacks and powerhouse surfing.

Bryant is one of my favorite surfers... to drop in on. Guy comes to visit and almost gets me banned from my local surf spot, sheesh. Regardless, punting one over on Surfline.

Waves Again

Waves and waves... finally some consistency.
(Sorry for the crappy quality pictures)

broken glass everywhere...

What do you do when you show up at work at 7Am only to find that the building was broken into the night before? Watch the surf contest via WIFI in the parking lot until the cops sort out the mess.

6-8 foot pumping France beach break is good stuff. Nothing better than watching the pros get flogged by heaving, grinding waves that could possibly be Folly Beach on 10 cycles of steroids. Next to Kelly's ridiculous comeback in round 4, this heat on screen was my favorite as Owen Wright broke 3 boards in 15 minutes.

Looks like we've all been getting barreled for the last week or so in shifty beach breaks on both coasts, so get it while you can cause nothing lasts forever!!
