Next was Cyrus Sutton's newest release. Stoked & Broke.  WE HAVE FOUND the movie for our July 8th Movie Night...should be awesome on the big screen.  A super cool concept with some awesome surfing, a really smooth soundtrack and some interesting characters.  All I can say is I wanna surf Torrey Pines.
 

Keeper of the point - South of the Boarder...Baja Mexico...before it got to crazy!

 

Jusus, overlooking the break...look closely and you can see Johnny.

A few years back, I took a surf trip with 4 buddies to Baja Norte, Mexico. About an hour south of San Diego...we ran into some really fun surf! There was a nice right-hand, cobblestone point break just outside our house and a nice jetty set-up just to the south...no real crowds and lots of fun waves! A giant 150 foot statue of Jesus Christ sat up on the hill...you could see it from the lineup...what a comforting feeling.




As the story was told to us, a local Mexican family bought some land and divided it into lots...when they sold the 1st lot, they made back their money. On the 2nd lot, they built this awesome statue to Thank God for what he had given them...really cool story.



The point outside our window...enough said.

Movie Night #1...kick off to Summer 2011 - Saturday, June 11th

The 1st Movie Night of the Summer of 2011 was a great one...what an awesome turnout! We played Walking on Water and the night was sponsored by Christian Surfers Manasquan...DJ Trish opened the night with some music. It was a really cool surf community event with kids from all over Ocean County coming out to share in a great time! Lots of local surfers showed up despite the weather and a great time was had by all.

The Ride Everything mentality.

This is the start of our 16th year...crazy yes but 16 it is!  Seems like only yesterday.  We've always been from the 'ride everything' mentality...heck, we live on the East Coast...we need to ride everything. There's alot of board design going on out there right now...our FOCUS is on what we like to call Solution Boards.  Boards that allow us to catch lots of waves...whether they're weak and mushy or fast and hollow, these boards solve the problem with our beach breaks.  We need to catch waves early and get up and ride...if you're not catching the waves, you're not riding and if you're not riding then you're not having fun.  After all, isn't that what surfing is all about...having fun?

I think Richard Kenvin said it best..."We've got an infinite # of choices to do this thing...starting with no board at all. Most of us don't make a living competing with the best surfers in the world. It's a total delusion that we can't ride whatever we want...because we can ride whatever we want."  Richard Kenvin on waveriding - Idiosyncracies

Over the next couple of weeks, we're going to highlight the Shapers and the companies we carry...from Clean Ocean Surfboards to Hap Jacobs and Bing...to Harbour and Mitsven and Chaize Surfboards out of Asbury...sit back and enjoy.

Below are 3 mini Simmons that are FOR SALE in the shop...right now.
