Surf Splendor Podcast

Hey 1 Hour in HB fans, Over the past few years producing 1 Hour in HB I've really developed a passion for storytelling. The most gratifying episodes to create were those that profiled people, like the Joe D. Foster series. I've parlayed this interest into a new project called Surf Splendor. It is focused specifically on conversations and stories about surfing. It's an audio poscast and available for free on iTunes and at SurfSplendorPodcast.com .

Our first episode was with Chris Cote discussing the fallout of Transworld Surf, Twitter trolls, and much more.

The second episode just launched today and features a discussion with surfboard shaper Eric Arakawa.

I hope that you listen. If you enjoy show please share it with a friend and follow on INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, and FACEBOOK Thank you!

2 Days in Orange County

Big south swell filled in Wedge and Lowers during 2 days in June.

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!

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.

Newport 54th st. Thursday, May 20th.
