No More Tube?
The SLO Parks and Recs along with RRM and Wormhoudt have secretly decided to remove our skate community designed tube. See it here...
They said, "the small wave pipe structure had several safety issues that could not be resolved in a practical cost efficient way." Specifically, "the primary safety issues included:
· The low height of pipe and the potential for skaters to hit their head entering the structure.
· The vertical change in elevation and potential for falling from the upper deck to the lower deck at then ends (openings) of the pipe structure."

SH~ Surfrider's 80-plus chapters are the picture of grass-roots power on the hoof. If you could rally all of the chapters and all of Surfrider's substantial resources for one year, and commit to one single effort, what would it be?
JM~ The single largest issue that our chapters are facing in local areas is plastics. We have a large focus on wave preservation, beach access, water quality, etc., and in any given place each of those have differing values of local importance. For example if you live in Maine the number one issue is beach access because more than 80 percent of the coast is private ... you can't get to the beach or waves. The issue facing ALL communities is the plastic we're letting go down our storm drains and into our lineups, oceans and beaches.
SH~ Leave us with a simple way for surfers to improve their spot.
JM~ It's been suggested that the new localism is to "own" your local beach. That is, stand up when it's under threat, clean it up when it's dirty, and show up when you're asked to. This isn't complex. Next time you paddle out, pick up a few pieces of trash. That one or two pieces are literally one or two pieces that won't be floating around the ocean and probably killing fish and birds. Start there. Be a real local, "own" your local beach.

Cambrias
The Amazing Cambria Wheels.
Great for all-purpose longboarding and cruising, and among the world's best wheels for tight slalom. Perfect for when you want speed and grip but don't need to go big and burly. When nothing else will stick, the 62mm Cambria will tame the asphalt, even in harder duros. Red or Orange are 80a, Blue 82a, Purple 84a.

TAYLOR CAMP Utopia?
Taylor Camp Documentary Chronicles Hippie Surf Paradise on Kauai
Long before the Irons brothers roamed Kauai's North Shore, the surfer's road to paradise was paved by hippies who'd had enough of Vietnam and the capitalist society, and decided to move as far away as possible, to a place where they hoped nobody would find them. The North Shore of Kauai was as idyllic and remote as it gets in this country, and it just happened to have uncrowded world-class waves as well. As surfers began to hear about this paradise at the end of the road, and after SURFER magazine featured a story on the place, small communities of hippies began to develop on Kauai.
The documentary focuses on this first wave of hippies, who found paradise on a little stretch of beach known as Taylor Camp. The film features interviews with the actual hippies who lived there in the beginning and the eventual end of taylor camp in 1977. The interviews are very recent, so the once youthful naked hippies in the film are now some of the most entertaining senior citizens on earth. The film also features a stunning collection of black and white photographs taken by John Wehrheim, which really bring the place to life. Watch the official trailer for the film below and check out the website for the film here: taylorcampkauai.com

ECO EASY RIDERS
Eco Easy Riders are made with 100% (post consumer) Recycled plastic cores. The 82a (durometer) urethane around the core is made from minimum of 25% veggie oil which could be corn, or other veggie based oils offsetting the petro content.
We have been testing them and they work great. Satori says, "durability and quality are excellent and just as good as any of our other wheels, guaranteed. there is no noticeable riding difference with the eco soft wheels from regular soft wheels" - craig
I highly recommend you pick up a set there are 4 different sizes to choose from: 54mm, 57mm, 62mm, 64mm.
