Surf expo preview

Yea.. we know we've been blowing it but it's been flat here for three weeks straight until the last couple days, give us a break. Look for alot of posts to be coming soon, Darshas in Puerto Rico right now and we all went to the Surf Expo in Florida last weekend. I emailed Tyler a bunch of photos when we got back last week and he's lagging so I figured i'd put up a little something in case you're bored. This is a photo I took off my phone of Mr. Pipeline, Gerry Lopez, he gave us some words of wisdom on the infamous break and I even got to shake his hand. My life is complete.
more on expo coming soon..

Building Webs Is For Suckaz

Getting Artsy

So I was bored the other day and decided I would try to paint one of my surfboards before it got glassed. I ended up just splattering paint everywhere and then getting way too excited with a big black paintbrush. Oh well.. check it out.

Testing...Testing...

Only Larrys Float Surfing

Our second edit is finally done! We've gotten a little better at the whole editing thing and got some fun waves so I think this one is big improvement from the first. The clips are from a few sessions around Carolina Beach and the Outer Banks. The last clip is of Tyler playing Kinect on xbox and getting really into it.. pretty classic. Look for a NEFF giveaway in the next couple weeks as well! Enjoy the edit.

Jupiter Pro

Contest site

Bob and Shane

Last weekend, Shane and I got to go down to Florida for the Western Atlantic Pro Surf Series' Jupiter Classic Pro and met some interesting characters^. I was really excited about it because this is the first year that the WAPSS will be keeping track of points and rankings for the women and this was the first event. The surf stayed pretty big and messy the entire time but we got to leave our wetsuits at home so it was nice and warm. Shane surfed really well and made the quarters in the the Men's Pro before getting comboed by Asher Nolan. On the first day I got the highest scoring waves and heat total and made it to the semi-finals but blew the whole semi and caught my best wave after it was over. It was a fun trip though and I want to thank my dad for driving and for hanging out with us the whole time. And keep checking back to see our new edit coming out very soon!!

Recycled longboard

A few weeks ago at the Belmar pro my friend Pat Nicholls broke his longboard in half mid-heat and left it in the trash on his way home. So I took the back half that was left, stripped off the remaining glass(not as easy as it sounds), and decided to reshape it into a rad little single fin. Except I don't really shape.. or have any tools. So I called up Dave Yearwood who I went to Nica with and asked him if he would help me out with it. Check out a few ipod photos of the process so far and stay tuned for finished product/ sessions.

We're also working a new edit!

Halloween

This halloween was pretty awesome, so we decided to put up a little recap for your viewing pleasure. The first photo is of Tyler all dressed up and ready to trick or treat, in honor of the late Michael Jackson perhaps? the rest of the photos are from a contest in CB with a costume division. Yes thats me in the batman suit, and you can check out results of the contest here.. http://www.wblivesurf.com/news.asp?id=2318

Hotwax surfoff

Last weekend the Hotwax surf off  came to our hometown in carolina beach making for a fun weekend with friends and some good surfing . The first photo is the OLF crew, a couple friends and two South Carolinians that came up for the contest to stay with Tyler all crowded around local legend Shawn O'Donnel. Shawn shapes SOD boards and is a pretty classic guy. Anyway Darsha smoked all the girls in the womens 15 and up division for a solid win, and in the guys division I got the better of Tyler and we got first and second. Thanks to Hotwax for a pretty awesome event, and the guy in the second picture for taking one for the team.

Belmar Pro

Darsha and Shane recently went to Belmar, New Jersey for the Belmar pro. Darsha was ripping the whole comp. The last picture was from her first round netting the highest heat total of the day. She went on to get third in the final and made some money. Congrats!
