No pro surfers here today...


Sometimes it is worth watching a few surfers that might not be up to your level, just as a humble reminder about how far you have come... Oh and the water is a chilly 57 degrees (that's like ice water). So with that in mind here you go! check this out: 

There isn't one pro surfer in todays surf episode. Filmed 5-8-2024 I headed to the beach today after checking the reports and seeing that we had fun surf. The waves were not epic but did have enough to give the local crew a fun time. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.

2 Surf Stories From 2 Very Different Locations (part 2)


Here are two stories from 2 very different locations worth checking out...

'Following the Fall Line' is a portrait of Bryce Young and the people who have inspired him on his own journey. This film, produced by needessentials and edited by Milo Inglis, showcases the unique surfing and skateboarding talents of Bryce Young while giving an in-depth understanding of the influences that have helped shape his creative approach to waves and terrain. Flowing on from concepts explored in the 1977 film “Fall Line,” cinematographers Ti Deaton-Young, Milo Inglis and Gabe Roxburgh beautifully capture the way Bryce’s environment and community influence his creative approach to life. In the film narration Bryce explains how the talents of Ti Deaton-Young, Nat Young, Ryan Burch and Laurie Towner have played such formative roles in his development. With an eclectic soundtrack featuring Huun Huur Tu, Dorothy Ashby, William Onyebor, Mick Turner, Terry Riley, Fenua, William Tyler, Donny & Joe Emerson, Goanna and JJ Cale, this film is a stunning portrait of Bryce Young following his own fall line. 'Following the Fall Line' is a film by Milo Inglis produced and presented by https://needessentials.com


I spent a week in a small fishing town in West Java surfing my brains out... enjoy!

2 Surf Stories From 2 Very Different Locations



 Here are two stories from 2 very different locations worth checking out...


Sure it's cold out, but you can't beat the crowd (because there isn't anyone one else there... ever!)... check out this surf adventure by Ben Weiland...


Watch the SurferTV Documentary, Coldwater Journal, as it follows surfer and filmmaker, Ben Weiland's, decade-long obsession with exploring the most frigid, desolate and starkly beautiful coastlines on the planet in search of perfect waves and high adventure.


This could be a dream come true for many surfers.... but do you have teh resillance to overcome the challenges faced by Torren and Aiyana?


When Torren Martyn and Aiyana Powell borrowed the 35ft sailing boat 'Calypte' and departed from the east coast of Thailand in early 2022, they had a combined sailing experience of only a few days. The one requirement of their charter was to eventually deliver the boat to Eastern Indonesia. They could learn as they went, get a few friends with sailing experience to help through the tricky bits and pick up as much as possible from them along the way. With this plan, the pair embarked onto the South China Sea, headed up through the Strait of Malacca and around the tip of Sumatra; out into the Indian Ocean on a year-long expedition in search of waves. What seemed like an idyllic journey didn’t come easy. It was difficult to anticipate the challenges of the sleepless nights, the endless rolling and tossing of the boat, the breakdowns, the relentless maintenance and confined space. But adventures always seem sweeter if it really feels like you had to work to get there. A film by Ishka Folkwell & Torren Martyn - Produced by needessentials

Longboarding, the best to the beginner (you know what I mean)

 

I really miss longboarding and I definitely need to make more plans to get healthy and get back in the water this year. Here are a few videos to get you and me motived to get back out there... check it out: 





This video is all about the best of California soul surfing over the last two years. Most of the footage can be seen in the NobodySurf Originals series that I made for them. This is a unique collaboration with Jitzuwa Finder, who makes custom soundtracks for NobodySurf Originals. Also, I added footage that never made it to the series to come up with something new and exciting. - Supported by - NobodySurf (@nobody_surf) - Surfers - Erin Ashley (@wormtown) Ryan Burch (@bobbersandsinkers) Lauren Canavan (@laurenkatecanavan) Brooke Carlson (@brookiebu) River Covey (@rivercovey) Derrick Disney (@gado_gadooo) Zack Flores (@zack_floress) Devon Howard (@devon_howard) Rob Machado (@rob_machado) Kassia Meador (@kassiasurf) Nick Melanson (@nickmelanson) Barrett Miller (@barrettmiller_) Hallie Rohr (@haalliiee) Karina Rozunko (@karinarozunko) Mele Saili (@mele_saili) Jen Smith (@jensmithofaloha) Makala Smith (@shredsista) Joel Tudor (@joeljitsu) Tosh Tudor (@toshtudor) J.J.

"What size longboard should I get?" A question i'm asked all the time and it's a tough one to answer. After doing this comparison my eyes have been opened to a few different ideas that I never considered. Hope this helps! Both boards are a COS Chingona. One is 9' and one is 9'6".
