Finally
30 June 2005
Last day here in the office until the 11th of July. So, obviously there's not going to be much in the way of updates and news for the next few days. So take care all I'll catch up to you when I get back. Surf's up son's a' bitches!

That's What I'm Talking About!
29 June 2005
Yes, off shore winds return to Nicaragua. This shot alone is enough to get any surfer excited!

Local Wind Chop
29 June 2005
Last night brought us some 3ft wind chop here in Delray. Nice. It looks like more of the same today so if you're in the area, grab your board and hit the waves.

Three Days!
28 June 2005
Ok, ok, enough with the countdown, I know. I just can't wait to get the hell out of here and go surfing! I spent 2 hours last night on the Indo Board just to sharpen the skills.

Murrays Saves The Day
27 June 2005
I hate it when certain companies drop the ball. I ordered an Aquapac Keymaster, so I can keep some valuables with me while surfing, last week from an unnamed company. I ordered it priority mail so that I could ensure I'd have it for my trip to Central America later this week. I just heard from them today letting me know that it was out of stock and would not arrive until Friday. Needless to say I was pretty pissed about it. So I told them to "cancel the mother fucking order" and placed an order with Murrays.com. They not only ensured me that it was in stock but also made special arrangements for me to receive my package by the 29th! Awesome! Just a quick thanks to Susan at Murrays.com for her immediate help. Thanks again!

Short Surf Trip To Ft. Pierce
27 June 2005
Saturday's trip north to Ft. Pierce for surf was a good bet. 2-3 ft. waves with the occasional 4 footer rolling through and lining up nicely on a gorgeous sunny day. The peak was packed with about 150 surfers but everyone made room for one another. It was pretty consistent most of the weekend and the lineup was about 200 yards long. I had to give the fish one last run before Costa Rica on Friday.

Time For A Guinness
24 June 2005
It's Friday, it's getting closer and closer to 5 o'clock. I think it's time for a Guinness. Have a good weekend everyone. Happy surfing!

Planning A Road Trip
24 June 2005
Just a quick heads up, I'm considering coming home (Cincinnati) the first weekend of September. I think I make a road trip out of it in the process and save on a flight and rental car. Last time the rental cost me more than the damn ticket.

Forecasting Surf For The Weekend
24 June 2005
Looks like we're about to have some surf this coming weekend. Both WetSand and Surfline are calling for 3-4 ft. waves and fair conditions for most of the weekend. Nice!

Seven Days And Counting
23 June 2005
Not long till the big trip. It looks like we'll be missing the end of a huge swell in Central America when we arrive next Friday. I can't wait. I spent about 3 hours last night adding some fiberglass to two of my boards making sure any cracks or dings are repaired before I make any new ones in Costa/Nic. Here's what it looked like on Tuesday. Sweet!

It's Been 10 Years!?
22 June 2005
"Son of a bitch" - those were the words I muttered to myself when getting my friendly invite last night to the Lynchburg-Clay Class of 1995, 10 year reunion. Looks like they tracked me down, dammit! I wish I could go though, it sounds like it would be a laugh.

Pleasant Little Surprise
22 June 2005
Sweet! A small north east swell came in last night producing some waist to chest high rollers (though few and far between). Dan, Mary and I headed out to take advantage of that little nugget. The surf session only lasted an hour but it was great and really good to get back in the water.

Busted Tees
21 June 2005
Check out the new tees over at Busted Tees!

New Photos
21 June 2005
Well, they're finally up. Check 'em out.

Monday, Yup It's Monday
20 June 2005
Not feeling too quick this morning. The weekend was pretty good, plenty of beach time/ pool time/ rum time. I've got a new photo album in the works from the wedding and the overall weekend. Hopefully I'll have a chance sometime today to get it up.

Nightmare Vacation
17 June 2005
A great Friday afternoon time waster (if you have time to waste). Enjoy!

Is It Happy Hour Yet?
17 June 2005
Friday again at last. Looks like I'll be heading up to Port St. Lucie over the weekend for a beach wedding. Fun. Now all I have to do is make it through today…

A History Of Violence
16 June 2005
This looks like it could be a good one! A History of Violence, September 2005

Flat And Poor Conditions
16 June 2005
The next week shows nothing on the wetsand swell forecast and Surfline's forecast isn't much better. Looks like we're out of luck. Looks like no surfing until Costa Rica.

And The Winner Is
16 June 2005
The phallic logo awards. Check out who made the list.

No Surf
14 June 2005
Once again we're left with no surf at all. The countdown to Costa Rica continues. Currently the winds are onshore but should turn back to nice offshore by the time we get there!

Steve Don't Eat It!
13 June 2005
The latest addition to "Steve Don't Eat It" on thesneeze.com. Steve makes prison hooch!

Blaskovich Family
13 June 2005
I just wanted to say hey to the Blaskovich family and I hope you guys made you flight home last night. It was great to see you guys again!

Weekend Surf Recap
13 June 2005
Friday's quest for waves was met by a washing machine of foam and un rideable surf. After paddling for two hours I finally gave up after catching only two waves. Saturday was a beautiful clean up session with some chest high waves on the outside. Still a little mushy but overall, a lot of fun. Sunday's surf was practically non existent though Boca held some tiny rollers to play on for an hour or so.

Oops!
10 June 2005
Talk about a bad layout… check this out. Interesting title for a magazine don't you think?

Old Friends
10 June 2005
Got a chance to hang with my old buddy Jay from Cincinnati last night. Good to see you again man. He's in for the weekend with family so it's up to me to show him the sites (even if it's pouring down rain because of tropical storm Arlene).

Major Wind Chop
10 June 2005
Wow, that was a tough paddle out yesterday. Massive amounts of gnarly white water, heavy chop and constant wind. After paddling for a half an hour I still never made it to the outside sets so I settled for the brutal beating on the inside. Still caught a few little rides though it wasn't worth the effort.

Seriously Freaky!
9 June 2005
Real life zombie video game. This will freak you out.

Waves, We Have Waves
9 June 2005
Keep your eyes on the webcams today. I'll be in the water around 5… where I'm not sure yet. We'll see what beaches hold up the best surf.

Newsletter Hell
8 June 2005
It's that time of month again when Native Remedies' monthly newsletter has to go out so… bear with me.

Gimme' Some Money
7 June 2005
I got mouths to feed yo! Ok, just one… mine. As you can see I added a donate button on the bottom left of this page. It's a direct deposit to my PayPal account so feel free to send me all the money you want. Yeah, I know PartyBoy has it up on his site as well but mine is better because it goes to a worthy cause. Me.

Countdown
7 June 2005
24 more days to Costa Rica/Nicaragua and big glassy, barreling waves.

WetSand's Got My Hopes Up Again
6 June 2005
I just checked out WetSand for this week's surf forecast only to find that it's calling for a building weekend up to 3-5 on Sunday starting Thursday morning with a solid 2 foot swell. After the last huge disappointment from WetSand I can't get too excited about it but it's definitely something to keep an eye on!

Sun Burnt On A Cloudy Day
6 June 2005
That old familiar burn on my shoulders was felt this morning after surfing in Boca for a couple hours yesterday with Ramil and Thanh-Ha. 1-2 footers with the occasional 3 footer rolling through. Hopefully they're still be some surf left for a quick after work session but we'll see.

Back In The Water
4 June 2005
Ah, a nice little surf session today on the long board. Ramil and I checked out Delray for a while and then I headed up to Boynton to give it another shot. The rides were short but it was great to get back in the water. Crossing my fingers for tomorrow morning.

Overcast Fridays
3 June 2005
Blah, blah, blabbidy blah. Rainy and humid as hell down here. Let's hope it clears up a bit over the weekend, though somehow I doubt it.

Desperate For Surf
3 June 2005
Well, fellow surfers, the desperate times have hit us here in South Florida. It looks like we may have some minor wind chop (and by minor I'm talking about 2 feet) late Saturday evening to Monday. Sunday morning's even calling for 2-3 ft. chop. Keep your eyes on the local cams to see if it's even rideable.

The Da Vinci Code
2 June 2005
Check out the new movie coming out next year! It looks like Tom Hanks will be playing Robert Langdon and Audrey Tautou from Amelie will be playing Sophie Neveu, sweet. Based on the book The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. I can't wait.

Rain And More Rain
2 June 2005
At least I'm busy as hell here in the office. Lack of time equals lack of news for the site and it's been raining for the past three days. Fun. Absolutely no waves to report so the count down continues to July.
