Cocoa Beach Pier Super Surf Session 8-26-13... By Eric Cedeno

I picked up a longboard at Core Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach Florida at the end of August. I actually took a look at a few of other shops like Ron Jons and Cocoa Beach Surf company first, but didn't see anything that I couldn't live without. Plus I like the smaller surf shop vibe. I  asked the guy at Core Surf if he would buy the board back at the end of my trip and the said yes (minus $100 bucks or so). I still think it was meant to be, I mean it's not everyday that you can walk into a surf shop on the other side of the country and find the surfboard that you ride all time that's also about ten years old. I was really stoked to have the opportunity to ride the board that I know very well on the east coast.



About a week into my trip I ran into my friend Lisa who happens to be a great photographer and a pretty awesome ukulele jammer. I talked her into meeting me down by the Cocoa Beach pier for a quick afternoon photo shoot and was stoked to get some shots of me riding the pier. I think it was also the best surf of my entire trip so I lucked out there too. I keep telling people that Florida surf really isn't that bad all the time. It's like anything else, you just got to make the best of what's out there.

Modes of Transportation for Surf Exploration... By Eric Cedeno

Cruising around looking for surf is something that drives most die hard surfers to reinvent their way of life. Some choose to keep it simple and throw a board in the car and drive down the street and paddle out at their home break. Others take things to the extreme and will do whatever they can to make themselves "at home" while on the road - for weeks or months at a time. I think I'm caught somewhere in-between and really wish that one day they will sell the VW T5 California Camper Van in the USA -especially in California. Check out these modes of transportation for surf exploration:
