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.

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.
