I hate looking at pictures or videos of my surfing because you can really see how bad your style is. I guess if you want to get better you need to but damn the harsh realities of it. These at least bring back some memories of good waves and good times.
Some oldies-but-goodies. I don't "work with" photogs anymore (too old, don't care anymore) and tend to avoid the crowds. I always drop the ball when I am supposed to meet up with SurfCityNJ (or whatever his new handle is nowadays), so that is my own fault!
My only photo in the last year, or more (by guardrail):

Great day at Oceanside Harbor North Jetty on Mayhem Whiplash. Surfy Sunday on a 5'8" twin shaped by Justin Phillips (who should shape more boards) and photo by Maggie Marsek.
I'm so embarrassed to ride a longboard I try and hide it underwater as much as possible. I think its under my left foot. The ...Lost RNF is the best design ever. This was number 6 of 11. And I see your daily donkey and raise you one of my own. (thank god that was 4 years ago)

Actually Mr Doof was standing about 50 yards down from the photographer and witnessed the entire ride...went left...made the entire drop and pulled back up to the lip...was gonna go off the back and back out for more...but I saw an enormous lip feathering right in front of me on the wave behind...so dropped in again and went home to go to work. Great morning, 6 guys surfing, 4 of them good buddies of mine. 50 people watching on the beach.

Some ones of just before I came out to California - this in Cape Hatteras or Wilmington NC - can't remember which. Back in the days where I had long(ish) hair
And not sure where I got this pic - or even if it's me (it IS my board - the infamous "rope leash" board at Blacks), but I thought I'd throw it in here so you guys could @ ME DUM DUM. Would have had to been taken sometime in California and I rarely ride the board - so who knows?
Someday sak, maybe haha. Tough to get shots of yourself when you are the one out of your group that is the photog, but occasionally I tell my friends they owe me for all the pics I take of them. Christmas eve on a 5'8" quad. Puerto Rico last winter, same board 5'8 5fin zamora fishy type, two years ago. Peace, Kyle

If I made it out and caught a wave like that, then yes, that is you, and yes you rode the sh it out that wave.
Just kidding, Blakestah, we've been out in some big surf together, along with Angry Jeff and a host of others.
This is the only semi-current surf photo I have. It was about a year ago and the surf was sooooooooooo good. I'm all work and very little surf. Superbowl Sunday is my first full day off in 4 months (besides xmas and t-day)

Rice Bowls summer '87 or '88 photo by Warren Bolster.
Warren swam out for a photo shoot with Sunny, Todd Chesser, and Todd Mitsui. I knew Warren from working at a surf shop and I even took him to shoot some visiting pro skaters a couple of times. The lefts were cranking but I got a right and as I paddled past him he said, "Hey Troy, I got one frame left, go right and I'll shoot a photo of you."
A week or so later I went in to work and this print was pinned to the board in the back. Warren had 5 or 6 photos published from that one session and he was nice enough to give me the print he shot of me.

Cloudbreak '87, Dr. John Jones took this shot from the scaffolding they put up on the reef for the first contest they had there. I went on a surf trip with the surf shop I worked for.
I only have old pictures of me surfing. But they probably look better, because I'm slimmer and surfed better except for the thigh high shorts.

Just to clarify some things: i was surfing with Occy's FCS fins. on a board handshaped by Greg Webber with a custom design that never really worked for me, after three weeks and breaking the nose on that session i sold the board and left the fins rest inside a trashcan (then i've got some glass custom versions of that template that i liked).

Classic. It's almost as if you're observing your hands as they melt and drip into the face of the wave, watching as they change shape and take on liquid form and become one with the womb of mother nature, merging into a translucent whirling vortex of love. Man.
Sorry. I was only like 11, but I really wanted to be there at that time, in that place. I'm jealous.

Aint that the truth! Every time a family member has tried to video over the years, I come home to shaky footage of birds. If I do make it into the frame, the lens ends up being in the wide angle position. When we gather around to view the footage the first time, I always sit closest to the TV so nobody can see the look on my face
My friend got a new 40D camera and I went from never having a surfing photo of me in 30 years to having dozens of them. Out of that I found 3 where I don't look like a kook

Dood... I don't see stinkbug (just driving hard off the bottom), but I do see a little hulk hogan pectoral flex thing going on
a couple from shores...
how's this for stinkbug hulk hogan flexing!
and for those that check my surf reports, you know i never fail to claim my weak credit card airs...when i say 'credit card air', i mean, 'credit card air'! check the lack of amplitude!
one of my bros...just a killer shot, stuffing his arm into the wave all the way to the shoulder and his whole rail, too...this guy surfs good, very curren-esque style (much better than mine!).
-------------------- "...we woke up to perfect lefts, and that was our mission."
And now 25 years later (photo taken two weeks ago on a small day), 5'5"x19.5 Brian Bulkley double wing swallow EPS quad. The more things change, the more things stay the same. This is a very exciting time in the world of surfing for myself.
Quote: Yours truly a little more than a week ago at my favorite beach break.
On a Hess no less!
Dims?
Yup, it is Danny Hess board.
10% down, then saved my pennies (and then some) for 6 months for the balance.
I'd have to take another look or take out the meauring tape to give accurate dimensions, but I know it is 6'8" in length. It is the Lola model, 4 fins. Took a bit of getting used to as well...the board prefers to be surfed off the back foot more than I was/am used to. Duckdives great, more often than not when catching a wave there is a bit of extra time I have to pop-up which I appreciate, and it hangs on a steep face with nary a hint of slippage. I look forward to improving on it as time marches along.
You know there has been ok surf when even I get photosnapped by the cameraman on the dune.
Last Friday before work. Average wave size.
(But where is the sequence?! Those good for nothing hobby photographers are ruining my chance of superficial semi-anonymous vanity )
On a Scott Miller board....I took him the front half of an Eaton Bonzer and left with him a Campbell Brothers Bonzer and told him to come up a shape that blended the two halves. I told him I wasn't expecting perfect replicas of either half be jammed together, more like an interpretation of how these two board could be made into a wholly new one.
The board is 19.25 wide, 7'6" long, about 2.75 thick, maybe a little more, three fins (2 fcs and center box), rocker cut more into the bottom of the board, paddles quickly, and holds high on the wall without much effort (not as high up or as easy as the 4 fin Hess though). Big drawback is the outline doesn't lend itself to rapid turns, and the low rocker can make a sudden and suprising hollow suck-out a bit of a chore to navigate.

Hi, I post on the design forum. I'm a bodyboarder with floppy teats, but since moving to North Slopida and finding that there's no lip for 200 miles in any direction, I resumed shortboarding and now do so almost exclusively in Florida. Occasionally I post on the threads regarding boards I own.
I blow goats but surf basically every day, often t(hr)wice. I can do "turns" and by sheer volume I sometimes complete one.
Lost SD-3 and FCS Sunnys can get a tubby kook down the line in 1-2 foot slop, and even pizza tossing to the point of being able to assess BMI/obesity along with (lack of) skill, so clearly the kit works.
I also submit myself to Mainland beatdowns, heart in my mouth, nuts in my gut, bladder emptying on every takeoff in order to grow. Please allow me to continue to post from time to time.
Let the or, depending on your stomach for style, the begin!
If I lose my job, I could get a job tossing at one of the Jax Beaches' 20+ pizzarias

I do hate you all guys. You are good surfers, you surf, you can surf, you were not born in a country w/o waves and were football is the religion, being forced to travel in order to "try to learn" to surf just 1 week a year. I do hate you.
The Surfhumor.com guy doesn't allow hotlinking anymore, so if you are really curious, you can go HERE! and see me on one of the many waves that came through yesterday. It is pretty blah though.
I'll see if I can find the time to make a screen grab of it later.....
