Today's San Clemente is even smaller than yesterday.
The conditions became flat, something that happens only a few times a year.
So I took a break from surfing and photography today.
In order to move forward with the new model project with Mayhem, I used yesterday's feedback from Chris Ward to program it on my computer monitor. This new board is based on Mayhem's classic Round Nose Fish, and I'd like to inform you that it's an evolved model incorporating the input of Chris, who has been riding the RNF for 15 years. Chris has matured with age, and his board needs have changed, so we've shaped those requests. I can also tell you that this model has been designed to be longer, making takeoff and paddling easier, making it easy for anyone to ride. Today, I mainly adjusted the nose out-in and rocker. Mayhem designed a mechanism that makes it less likely to pearl, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs.
At the factory, Terry Singh, who was wearing a tattoo style with a gray background, showed off his latest board art works.
Kolohe's board was placed next to Mayhem's shaping room.
Apparently these boards were magic and Kolohe wanted one of each.
Then San Clemente, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach,
I went around to various surf shops and did some market research.
This is San Clemente Pier.
This is the Huntington Beach Pier.
And this is the Newport Beach Pier.
Unfortunately, the weather was bad so the photos are not beautiful, but the coastline from Huntington Beach Pier to Newport Beach Pier is
All of the beach breaks are surfable, and in Newport there are houses built on the beach like this one.
