He said it was a little "beefy".....

Just got this one from my friend Chris C. Taken a few weeks ago in late April, SW Nicaragua.  Side note: Chris is 6'4"....

Cougars!

They're a little older and weathered but they still have so much to offer.
Hope you weren't thinking I meant the other kinds of "Cougars"....  :)

Crispy Critters.....

Roach picked up a little package early this morning at PHL. There was 20' of glide stuffed inside all that cardboard and duct tape. 10' for him and 10' for me. :)
Many Mahalos Grant and Roach!

Bitch'n!

Sunday Morning Sliders....

Finally found a few fun little waves wrapping in along Beach Ave. These howling ENE winds have not been our friend this past week.

"Extra Crispy" is heading my way......

 
Since the demise of my YYZ in less than 3 yrs, I have no further interest in adding modern longboards to my quiver. Figure I'll stick with boards that have already withstood the test of time and are still slideworthy. This one will be leaving Long Beach, CA and heading cross country to Lower Cape May County, NJ in the next week or so. My friend bubbed this one "extra crispy" when he got it and that moniker will stay with it under my ownership. Eager to get it wet a lot this summer.

Longboard lefts....

Left work at lunch today to catch a surf in town. One of the better choices I've made in a while. Snapped this one as I was leaving.

Long Liddles


The board history that came along with my 9'9" Greg Liddle had it being made at some point in the later 1970s. While browsing the Liddle photo archives, I came across another 9'9" that was submitted by the original owner. His was a custom order in 1977 and was made while Greg's shop was in Woodland Hills, CA. I've gone back and forth looking at the two side by side and I can't help but wonder if his custom order may have spawned the one I own????  
Bob Corey's 9'9" custom.  Amazingly, only surfed once!

My 9'9" Liddle. Surfed a lot, with many more slides to come...
