1 Week in Orange County

Various sighting from Lowers to Huntington Beach pier, during 1 week in April. Brett Simpson, Brendon Gibbens, Brandon Jackson, Ryan Carlson, Shaun Joubert, Ethan Carlston, and Fisher Heaverly.

That's What's Up!

If you didn't surf around Newport in the past week, then you really need to reevaluate your life's priorities. It's been firing!

This is a hodge podge of different guys, from different sessions, on 2 days around Newport Beach this past week.

1 Hour in NP

Just a little shorey session at 54.

I strolled up on the tail end of a 3 hour session for Ted, so if he'd bogging, its out of exhaustion at this point. Still some fun ones though.

Das Fog - Teddy Navarro

It's been super foggy the last 2 mornings. We cut through it today to bring you this little vid of Ted shredding! The conditions aren't great, but it's just another day in the life of a pro surfer in HB.

HB Invades Newport

While a lot of the pros are out of town, the remainder of the locals crashed 54th street yesterday morning to rip a couple of little peaks.

Pat O' Connell, Guilmette, Navarro, McCrystal, Moran, Mauro, Pat Towersey

There is some swell on tap and the Lowers WT comp coming! Get ready!

Jesse Guglielmana!

This grom was visiting from Kauai with Tyler Newton. He was busting airs left and right, so after I missed the first few, I began recording.

This is what we got in the course of 3 days.

Alpinestars New Superstar

The waves have been so bad lately. Today was supposed to be crappy again, so while everyone else was asleep Ted found this little right ramp and went to work with his new rig. Nice work, Ted. And kudos to Alpinestars.

Analog Thursdays

Analog hosts a beach cleanup every Thursday and brings coffee and donuts for everyone. The team usually shows up and rips a few. Ted Navarro and Damien Fahrenfort also cruised down to surf a few.

So next time you are at the store and trying to decide which clothes to buy, go with Analog! They keep your beachs clean.

Also, Ted found a kid wearing his stolen wetsuit and marched him out the water and made him take it off on the beach. It was unbelievable. But I failed to film to actual confrontation, just the aftermath.

Shred Slop - 30 Minutes with Ted Navarro

You can find tons of footage on You Tube of some kook getting barreled on a perfect wave, but seeing Ted paddle out and shred this junk is pretty baffling. Litterally, no one else wanted to surf this day but Ted is always amped and so I mustered the interest to film. And I'm glad that I did. This is what Ted is able to produce in 30 minutes of small, gutless, windblown slop.

Ripping!

Gorkin Ripping - 1 Session in Newport

He throws a few air revos, a Gorkin Flip, a huge layback, and bunch of rips, wraps, and cuts and does it all in 1 session. Nice surfboarding, bro!

Oakley Comp Warm up Session

While the crew was setting up the Oakley event for tomorrow, another crew was in the water doing work. I'll post more footage from this session soon, but these are the highlights. The waves were shoulder high, peaky, rampy and super ripable.

May in 1 Minute

This is the recap of the month of May in 1 minute. Just the highlights from the past month, no fancy edits or artsy stuff, just surfing.

Good job to those who made the cut. Keep it up.

Dustin Hein and Dorsal Fins

We're just doing out thing and this dude walks up with no leash, a spray painted board, and a bandage on his forehead. He cruises out and shredded right through all the hot groms. Foster eventually identified him as Dustin Hein, a name I hadn't heard in years. I used to see him around Newport ripping years ago. Dustin, if you are out there, please confirm that this is you.

This guy rips!

1 Session in Newport - Day 2

Summer is approaching and traveling pros are beginning to rip the crap out of our beachbreaks. Yesterday morning Aaron Cormican, Chippa Wilson, Tyler Newton and Jesse Guglielmana joined local pros for a showdown at 54th st. Lots of great surfing took place and I'll be posting more from this session soon. Enjoy!

3 Waves Each - Chippa, Navarro, Quinn, Sylvester

The expected south swell hasn't yet arrived but some Aussies were still here to bounce around on what little peaks the NW swell provided. Local talent Ted Navarro and Quinn McCrystal also took advantage.

May 6th, 2010 - 2 edits

This was a crazy session. Below are two different edits. One slow-mo'd and one regular motion. Enjoy! The bottom also has some Brett Simpson footage from early in the same morning.

Filming with Ted and Ryan, but Balaram was out and got some BOMBS! That kid rips.

Foster, Cozad, and Driftwood all got great photos from the session so look for that or post the link here. I was the only videographer so here ya go!

Car-Rupt Air Session - May 6th, 2010 from David Lee Scales on Vimeo.

Filmed early with Simpo at the pier before he went to lowers for his heat that afternoon. Then cruised down to Newport with Ted and Ryan. Balaram was out and got some epic barrels. Carlson pulled the craziest Car-rupt flip. All in all, it was a super solid morning of surfing.
