Endless Session, Day 228: Advice, Taken
Walking up to the sand after coffee and conversation at Brothers Burritos, I spotted Kris Hall, who already had his fill of the ocean, sinking into the grains and headed eastward back to the parking lot. He bounced over to me and a few members of the surf familia (Frank Paine and Boris Vishnevsky), who […]
Endless Session, Day 227: Aloha Spirit
Morning darkness. At 5 am the world is barely stirring, and many started their slumber short hours before. Sometimes when it’s so quiet and still, I pretend the whole world disappeared and left only me and my surfboard to wander the asphalt and sandy beaches.

But it was a tough sell in Phil Borden’s house on the Hill. “I do not believe a vote in 2002 is a plan to defeat […]
Endless Session, Day 226: Cloud Nine
Coming back from Ventura, the land of perfect right pointbreaks and a surfers paradise, you would think that surfing a mediocre beach break would make you cry salty tears of pounding closeout sadness… As bumpy, fast and strangely shaped as it was at the Hermosa pier this morning, I can’t think of taking any time […]
Endless Session, Day 225: Just Can’t Stop
I can’t stop. The more I do it, the more it gets under my skin and fogs my eyes, occasional thoughts of surfing turning into (all-)daydreams in every moment that my skin isn’t dripping in saltwater. Searching for and surfing good, shapely, long waves really deepens my ocean affliction. Getting out of the South […]
Endless Session, Day 224: The Queen
Well here’s to the second time writing this post due to technical malfunctions. Computers are lame. Surfboards are cool. The Queen. Rincon, prized jewel of the California Coast, with steep lines so long and wave shape on the coattails of perfection that it was given a royal nickname. After a morning of glistening waist high […]
