Spring has Sprung

May Gray brings June Gloom. Not too much excitement yet, but every once in awhile, the sun will actually make an appearance - and give us a glimmer of hope with warmer water and Souths. photo: Goulding

September Sessions

JP and Aaron Goulding teamed up for this nice shot on the last swell.

Boom

Got this shot and note from Aaron Goulding, local photog.
"Here's a shot of JP smacking the lip. This is one dude that you don't want to get smacked by."

Thanks Aaron.

Cave Man sighting

While the debate about Sasquatch and Bigfoot go on, there is no doubt that cave men dwell in coastal San Diego.
Sent to us from our good friend Aaron Goulding:
Hi Denni. Here's a few of the caveman cave dwelling.
Enjoy! All the best!

MLK Day

A Couple More from that Day

That's what Aaron Goulding wrote to J.P. when he sent along these photos. I wish "that day" would come again, and soon. It's still FLAT here in San Diego with otherwise good surfing conditions (light wind, sun, etc.) I'm always amazed, and a bit dumb founded, as how the Pacific Ocean has this fetch of Thousands of miles and does not generate a thigh-high wave to ride. Hopefully this post will change that!

Nurse Needed?

"If I fall, will I need a nurse?"
Marengo clearly in charge and not needing hospice care.

Aaron Goulding

From time to time we get shots of team riders from local photographer Aaron Goulding/JAG Media Productions. His images are usually pretty unique and capture some incredible views and angles. This one is sweet. Thanks Aaron.

Chapped Lipz

Nice smackage of one La Jolla lip under the August sun. That's a lot of board poppin out the back of the wave while the fins are just holding in. I like what's going on in this photo. Jean-Paul punching the clock for the afternoon shift.

Seeking Shade

Looking for a bit of shade on a warm summer day.

Got sunscreen?

Can we please get some sun and some warmer water?*#*^*!* My trunks and vest are feeling neglected.

Mid Week pick-me-up

Not much happening out there today, except lots of wind and chop.
Here's some shots from last month to get you thru the day.

Put It on Axis.....

is a favorite saying of a friend of ours when he is out in the water and hitting all his bottom turns and setting it on rail. Here's JP with his interpretation of putting it on axis.

Surf or Yardwork

while you were probably shopping at Costco or Bed Bath & Beyond, this guy was out killing it! photo: Goulding

Things Are Lookin Up

This is a cool shot.... kelp or fish view....or swimmer avoiding laceration.
Photo is of team rider JP at a LJ beach break. Photo shot by Aaron Goulding.

Lifestyle of JP

Yes, all those sticks are Murphy's: and please note that the one behind him has been put back together twice by our great friend and ally, Joe Roper. JP in his crib painting in his inimitable style preparing to go on another undercover mission at the reefs. Thanks Aaron, John Slavin, Lance Smith et. al. ; not necessarily in that order. You guys are the best support team on this coast or any other. Dennis out for now.
p.s. I couldn't do any of this without Chris Miller or Ed Lewis of The Leucadia Project.com. Check out the site! And that's an order y'all. Later. dm
