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 Morning in Newport Beach

All the Quik kids converged on 54th street to get a few tubes and spin a couple little airs.

1 Day at Rincon

All the NW swell skirts Orange County so on Thursday we drove up to Rincon and happened into some head-high rights. High tide was fun, but low tide got super good and hollow. Our crew got a solid workout catching tons of waves and running laps up the point. Enjoy.

A Quik Newport Session

Some of the out-of-towners were cruising through Newport on Saturday morning so 1 Hour snuck down PCH to see what the fuss was about. The guys traded little tubular tunnels for an hour or so.

Summer in February

It was crowded with SUP's, boogy's, longboard's, multiple water photogs, groms everywhere, International pros, and it's 80 degrees and sunny! Plus, it was 2 feet and inconsistent. Feels like summer, except the water is 58 degrees and there are no girls on the beach.

You know who rules these days? People with energy, aka the under-20-year-olds.

Our 100th Episode!

This morning, Hossegor came to 54th st for about 1 Hour. After a few barrels, the wind shifted and the boys started ripping big gaffs and flicking airs. Then Julian Wilson showed up and just flared 3 waves in a row, bigger and smoother than anything I've seen in a while.

Oh yeah, and this is 100th original surf film produced.

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 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.
