I made one trip down to Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica only to arrive with a broken camera(so no posts here). Upon arrival my fave board broke too (as seen above). I did have a great time so I'm going back for a month! I'm leaving from Myrtle Beach Tuesday and flying to LA and staying overnight, mostly so I can grab a few surfboards from my apartment in Ventura. It looks like there will be some surf there though so I'll put on the old wetsuit one more time and try and go catch a few at either C-Street or down at County Line.<br />I'll be arriving in Costa Rica on Wednesday afternoon and staying the whole month at Vida Asana in Playa Hermosa. It's going to be a really fun month and a great first week since a lot of friends from Pawleys will be there as well! My camera is fixed and I plan on doing a lot of photography and trying to post here everyday so check back often!<br /><br />Pura Vida!Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053627473385802414noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881238170866302787.post-71803799908393719742010-03-03T14:29:00.003-05:002010-03-03T15:33:13.981-05:00Video update.<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxc-iYIex-9hAdj4PSGdHq-cEeu8lGTXf6qaT5QMR8MYe9Bo9nhCuTFeMUug_PW5DQChHUp_1cMH_PGnalRqg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Just a little update via video.

If you saw the post below of all my surfboards you can see they are mostly pretty plain, lacking any kind of color except for maybe the logos.<br />
Below is my first attempt to "spruce-up" my quiver. I'm quite happy with the outcome. I didn't do any "original art" but just filled in the black and white logos already there. I'm planning on getting a bit more creative for the next one but so far I'm pretty pleased.<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />
This is how the logos looked before.<br />

Ike ended up bailing out on me because he wanted to go skiing instead. Well, we came up with a compromise! Ike is going to fly out here to Cali next Friday allowing me to be SoCal tour guide which I'm dying to do!<br />
We are going to spend a couple of days here in Ventura surfing and seeing the sights. Hopefully the weather and swell will cooperate and we can get Ike on a decent wave either at Rincon or C-Street. He likes to longboard and C-Street is known as the second best longboard spot right behind Malibu. Arguably during the winter it is THE longboard spot in Cali since Malibu doesn't catch any northwest swell.<br />
From here, we are going to head to Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains a couple of hours north of LA. The snow is supposed to be pretty good up there right now so hopefully it will stay that way till next week and we'll get some great conditions for skiing.<br />
Lastly, from Big Bear we are going to head northeast through the Mojave Desert to "the party-boy's(Ike)" favorite place, Las Vegas! Party-boy will take over as tour guide from here to introduce me to the southwest's most infamous destination. Ike is going to then fly back to SC from Vegas on Thursday and I'm thinking about possibly driving back on a different route and seeing Death Valley and Sequoia National Parks but we'll see how the beginning of the week goes.<br />
This looks to be a fun adventure and I'm looking forward to it for sure! We'll be sure to take lots of pictures and video and post'em here!<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />
The pic below is of my Jeep's dash at <b>11 o'clock at night</b> while driving though the Mojave last time! Now that's hot! I wonder how hot it was one the sun was up!?<br />

I've been sick now for close to three weeks with both the H1N1 Flu and Bronchitis so I've been out of the water and stuck in the house for a while now! The waves have been great as of late to make it even harder on me. I am starting to feel better but not quite good enough to surf yet but it's definitely on my mind so I figured I'd take some time to show off my quiver and talk a little bit about surfboards. I have pics of just about all the boards I've bought since I really got back into surfing after college.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0WlQ74t2Oj8f5goGJTXH1Q_JF1EuX28ANXcIH5tZO0YaFLVFmf_vD8T1ijpvBy3yG7R9P313mqyA_TmF7v6-8_BgeP9_UwiEUDo6cQKN8r-3qRnFL63rUYdaGNEM2b-0amwi_4aOIt0av/s1600-h/P1012930.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0WlQ74t2Oj8f5goGJTXH1Q_JF1EuX28ANXcIH5tZO0YaFLVFmf_vD8T1ijpvBy3yG7R9P313mqyA_TmF7v6-8_BgeP9_UwiEUDo6cQKN8r-3qRnFL63rUYdaGNEM2b-0amwi_4aOIt0av/s640/P1012930.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Before my trip last summer these were the boards I had. The WRV Flexlite(6'1''x 18-3/8"x 2") on the left was a new purchase for the trip. I rode this board about 75% of my time in Indonesia. The middle board is a (6'0''x18 1/4"x2 1/4'') Natural Art basic thruster and on the right is a (5'10"x18 1/4x 2 1/4") Sharp Eye with a wider nose and tail for smaller surf. The NA and Sharpeye were bought before a trip to Costa Rica and used there on a subsequent trip as well.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are boards I currently have here at my apartment in Ventura. Having the Channel Islands Factory 15 minutes away makes finding the right boards pretty easy! From left to right are:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. 5'11"x 18 1/4"x 2 3/16" Channel Islands Tangent. I picked this board up in Carlsbad before heading to Indo. My Natural Art above was sacrificed to get it. I rode this board the whole time in El Salvador. It's pretty much my go to board for good, solid surf. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. 5'9"x18 5/8"x 2 1/4 CI Flyer Quad. I ride this board the most out of all of em'. Quads work so well when you need to maintain down the line speed which works well at point breaks like Rincon and C-Street, especially when it's under chest high and a bit mushy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3. 6'0'x 18 1/4"x 2 1/8" CI Fort Knox. This board is for the bigger days at places like Rincon and C-Street when a bit more length and a round pin help smooth out and increase hold when the swell is up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4. 6'2' x 18 1/4" x 2 1/4" CI Step-up. This is my big boy board! I've only ridden it twice this winter but both times have been in double overhead surf at the Ventura Overhead. For bigger surf I like to keep my width and thickness the same but go longer with a more "pinny" tail for good hold. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">5. 6'3"x 18 1/2" x 2 1/4" Surfride Staple. This was was purchased in Carlsbad as well before going to Indo. I was looking for a step-up board but this was the best I could find on short notice. This is more of a regular shortboard for a bigger guy than me. I'll probably trade it in next time I get a new board.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is my go-to beach-break board when it's under chest high. It catches waves easy and it's tons of fun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

These are my boards that are in Pawleys Island. It's nice having boards at home so I don't have to bring em back and forth all the time! From top to bottom are:<br />
<br />
1. 4'9" x 22"ish x 1". Hyperlite Wake Surf Board. This thing is just a blast! When there's no surf just go in the boat and make your own!<br />
<br />
2. 5'11" x 18 1/4' x 2 3/16" Lost WCT Model. When I was home over Christmas this winter I found myself planning a trip to Puerto Rico. With my boards back in Cali I bought this hoping it would perform like my CI Tangent; it's pretty darn close. Unfortunately this one wasn't glassed too well and looks like a golf ball after only a week. I traded in the Sharpeye on this one.<br />
<br />
3. That's the same WRV from above. While I did ride it a lot in Indo I came to decide it was a bit thin and light for bigger surf. I also don't really like how much flex it has since it doesn't have a stringer.<br />
<br />
4. 6'1 x 18 1/4x 2 1/4" 6Star Step-up. This one was also purchased for Puerto Rico. I only rode it one day but it goes really well. This will def be with me on my next trip to Indo!<br />
<br />
5. 5'4 x 19 7/8"x 2 3/4" CI Biscuit. Short, stubby, thick and no rocker! The perfect Pawleys Island short board! So much fun! I got lucky finding this one. I wandered in to Wallerbears one day and this was $250 off! I couldn't pass it up!<br />

Padang, notably was the place I stayed both before and after the Mentawais. The hotel I stayed in, The Spice Homestay was completely destroyed in the October quake. Pictured below is Spice after the quake.<br />

Earlier this year I visited Puerto Rico which happens to be the neighboring island to Hispanola, half of which is known as Haiti. I was on the plane between PR and Florida when the Haiti quake happened. On my flight from Florida back to Myrtle Beach, there were a dozen or so people who had left Haiti that day! The person sitting next to me was a Haitian kid on his way back to college in Boston. He had spoken to his mother immediately after the quake but his father was still missing. He was very worried to say the least.<br />
<br />
And now today, a 5.9 quake has been reported off the coast of Northern California. You might point out that I live in Ventura which is after all SOUTHERN California but guess where I was this weekend....San Francisco! A coincidence? I sure hope so!<br />
<br />
On a separate note I have to say thanks to Morgan my newest "follower". She wrote me a told me how much she enjoyed the blog and had some great recommendations for me going forward. I intend to take her advice because she really had some great ideas! So, thanks Morgan!Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053627473385802414noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881238170866302787.post-59629251800861448192010-02-03T17:52:00.000-05:002010-02-03T17:52:44.515-05:00Calling all travelers!So...I was planning on going to Barbados the first week of March but my travel companion to be has decided he'd rather go somewhere cold and snowy than warm and "waved". I find this unacceptable and refuse to spend my money being bundled up! Boardies and sunscreen is more my speed these days so, if anyone is interested in getting a trip together, holler! I'm not dead set on Barbados, I'll consider Hawaii, Mexico, or anywhere I haven't been yet(I like new places)!<br />

Three chord progression, "def lep" style echo chorus, and spaced out synthesizers...seriously good! One of these days I'm going to get some good footage and make a fo-real surf video with all these jams...but until then...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Even though this isn't a legit surf maneuver it really captures a moment in time. If you've ever been in this position you know what I mean. It's a cross between relief and elation, knowing you're safe when you were a milli-second from getting hammered and, realizing the rush of pure, natural speed.<br />

Along a stretch of beach break that normally closes out over head high. A perfect mix of swell, tide, and offshore wind came together and for about an hour and produced some seriously hollow pits. Right after I pulled over and got the camera out, a big ole' truck pulled up and out jumped Keith Malloy. Enjoy!!!<br />

</div>Normally I can't see waves from my house. I CAN usually see what the general sea state is(clean,choppy, etc.) from the steps at my house. This morning when I went outside at about 7, I could actually see individual waves breaking at the harbor. The harbor is about 2.75 miles as the crow flies from my house. I walked up the street to the top of the hill and all I could see was swell stretching all across the ocean. I took a ride down to the harbor with my camera. One guy was out, it turned out to be none other than Keith Malloy. He caught one wave and managed to make it in without getting pushed into the rocks. The crazy part is, the surf is supposed to build all week and be TWICE as big come Friday/Saturday! Stay tuned!Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053627473385802414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881238170866302787.post-34584814677191670982010-01-14T10:28:00.004-05:002010-01-14T14:48:57.939-05:00San Juan graffiti.<div>I really like graffiti. It has always amazed me how people mostly think of it in a negative way, like it's visual pollution or something. To me, it's pure art done on a spontaneous, public canvas.

My hotel in Rincon had technical difficulties with their internet router(and water!) for most of my stay. I got a lot of video but the quality mostly sucks and I'm not to excited about it. I will be putting another vid together so keep checking back. I did get some cool underwater shots I'm looking forward to showing...<div><br /></div><div>I'm in San Juan now for the night and I fly back tomorrow afternoon. I'm not staying put long...my buddy Jay cancelled a duck hunting trip to the Chesapeake Bay planned for later this week due to the fact the the Bay is largely a huge chuck of ice right now, so already having time off he decided to head down to Mosquito Lagoon in Florida and do some fishin'. He called me today and asked when I'd be back and if I'd like to go so I said, "well why not!" </div><div><br /></div><div>We'll certainly be filming the fishing action so as soon as I stay put long enough to edit and post some video I'll do it!</div><div><br /></div><div>Tonight I think I'm going to go try my luck at the poker table here in San Juan at the Intercontinental Casino! </div><div><br /></div><div>Oh yeah...despite the previous mentioned problems with my hotel they did have a seriously stocked ipod at the restaurant/bar with lots of good tunes. I've added three songs I stole from their playlist and added em' to the SATWimix.

Chest to head high, super glassy, and not too crowded. Still riding my new flyer quad which works great at the point breaks because its so fast down the line. I made some sections today that wouldn't have been as easy with my regular board. I also saw a seal today! It popped up about 20 feet from me, starred for a minute or so, and then dipped back under and disappeared. It was really cool to see! <div><br /></div><div>The Hurley Pro took another lay day today so the final will def be tomorrow. I'm still debating on whether to go...I'll need to leave here around 4:30 for the two hour drive and the thirty minute walk from the parking lot down to lowers to make the 7am start. Sure would be cool to see the best in the world at such a rippable wave! If I make it I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures and post them here!</div><div>Have a great weekend!</div><div>Seth.</div>Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053627473385802414noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881238170866302787.post-52690983525713169592009-09-17T14:28:00.003-04:002009-09-17T16:37:39.990-04:00C-Street fun with Tim Curran!Just got back from a fun morning surf at C-Street which is the point break here in Ventura. I got out there early enough before the crowd and the wind and got some good waves. I had my first pro spotting! Tim Curran paddled out about an hour after I got there and he was ripping for sure! I managed to get some good shots of him surfing and made a little video from it, enjoy!<div><br /></div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwNGikgAI89-wy3WORnVfaVJfgDA_H5dTOBHAADKuQEryCR-5jajLpjVJzd6L5MEGtnqrXot36LdmzFf1vPVw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><div><br /></div><div>As you can see the surf was fun! I'm hoping to go see the final of the Hurley contest at Trestles which will probably happen tomorrow. I was at Bestbuy yesterday looking at camcorders since I sold mine to Jay. I'm considering getting one before I go to Trestles, though I think the picture video turned out well! Let me know what you think!

After my video yesterday I surfed for a couple of hours and decided to stay another night at The Inn by the Sea. The waves were waist to chest and super clean until the wind came up around 1130. The water is chilly here now and I decided this is as far north as I'm willing to surf. I really don't like water any colder than it is here(I'm wearing a fullsuit) so except for a possible trip up to Rincon, I'm going to keep round SoCal for a week or so.<div> After surfing I drove up north to Santa Barbara along the Pacific Coast Highway. This is possibly the most beautiful stretch of road I've ever seen! The road goes right along the beach and the views down to the beaches and points and further out to the Pacific are incredible! Looking inland, the beach is framed by mountains with picturesque hillside houses mixed in with vineyards and orchards and the occasional oil well-head.</div><div> My reason for visiting Santa Barbara was to go check out the Channel Island Surfboards flagship store. <a href="http://cisurfboards.com">Channel Island Surfboards</a> are one of the best known makers in the world. Shaper Al Merrick makes boards for the best surfers in the world including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and Dane Reynolds to name a few. All three are still in the hunt in the Hurley contest at Trestles this week, <a href="http://www.hurley.com/hurleypro/live.cfm">click here</a> to watch the contest live. I wasn't planning on shopping but how can you resist so many shiny new toys?! I ended up grabbing a 5'9'' <a href="http://www.cisurfboards.com/sb_flyerF.asp">Flyer Quad</a> which will definitely be useful since I didn't have a good smaller wave board with me. </div><div>I've taken a quick liking to the area and decided to spend a week here so I found a cottage to rent for the week on Vacation Rental by Owner(thanks Allison!) and I'm moving there this afternoon. It's basically a little pool house in someone's backyard but looks cool, check it out <a href="http://http://www.vrbo.com/194251">here</a>. I'm hoping to be able to fully explore the area in the coming week and then start making my way back east. I'm thinking about drving down to Trestles to see the contest final so if I do I'll be sure and take the camera and get some pics!</div><div>Later,</div><div>Seth.</div>Sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18053627473385802414noreply@blogger.com0
