Fun session

Had a great surf session this morning just outside of Boston.  The waves were perfect 6 foot and the wind was offshore.  Hopefully there will be many more of these days to come...

Boston in all of its "stunning" glory

Apocalypse Nuggets

I guess if the world does end on Friday, we have gotten a great swell to finish off our lives.  I just had probably one of the best sessions of the year in NH and am stoked that the cell phone can actually take alright photos.  Here is a recap of today in case you missed it...

Rye, looking as shreddy as ever

If you know how the North Hampton State Beach is normally, you can recognize that this was a huge swell

The Wall, and some dredging sandbar barrels

Huge New Hampshire Swell

Heading up to NH tonight for some monster waves in the morning.  The buoys have been reading 17 feet all day, and now the wind should switch to give us some groomed overhead waves.  I am bringing my 5'6'' , and my trusty 6'2'' for if it gets any bigger.  I'll keep you posted on how the waves are.  All I know is that there will be CARNAGE!!

Parko wins

In a heroic bout between 11x world champ Kelly Slater and Joel Parkinson, Parko overtook the king at Pipeline in less-than ideal conditions.  With every heat the pressure switched from Kelly to Parko, than back to Kelly, and so on.  In the end, Kelly was beaten in the semis by Josh Kerr, who was battling a shoulder injury that had been with him for a few months.  It was an all-Aussie final, and Parko took the crown, winning 75,000 and the all important ASP title.

RI photos

Here is probably the most low quality pics I have see, but I promised you they would be seen so, here they are...
At this point the swell was dying and the high tide wasn't helping much..., but I got some alright waves on the longboard
These photos don't show the 50 other people I had to battle in the lineup

Travis

One of our youngest Cable Crew members, this kid knows how to rip. Here is a shot of Travis making our water look a lot warmer than it is. -Lars

Summer 2011. Shred.

Wake surfing

It may not look like surfing but it sure is fun. I came across this photo of me wake surfing for my first time on my 2011 Colorado trip. Wake surfers ride a thin skimboard like surfboard on the largest part of a boat wake. You pump and maneuver to stay in the "wave" while doing turns and spins like surfing. It didn't really feel like surfing but was a blast. -Lars

RI surf

Some more photos soon, just had a great session down in Newport, with some barrels to be had.  Found a nice right on one side of the beach, and got some good waves.  Also, if you haven been watching, the Pipeline Masters are going on, and it's coming down to the wire going into the final day of competition.  It looks like it will be a shootout between Kelly and Parko, who both have the potential to clinch the world title.  Keep an eye on Friday, as there is supposed to be a monster swell for the final day.

Throwback

Some funny ones of cable crew at the Rip My Shredstick contest put on by Hurley. Lots of fun waves, free stuff, and Tristan took the win! -Lars

Get It

Crowley keeping the standard high even when its flat.

Vans Triple Crown Update

On a further note about the triple crown, right now there is a nice looking swell on the way for sunset, and waves could be upwards of twenty foot faces, and the locals are beating even some of the top pros.  Some highlights are Kalani Chapman, and Ezekiel Lau.  Stay tuned as the surf continues to grow.
