Echo Beach

Went to see Echo Beach and it was a pretty good movie. Lots of history of Newport and 54th st (obviously). While the surfing back in the day isn't as exciting as today, it is very apparent that Newport was definitely holding in the wave department in the old days. So maybe it wasn't just because we were shorter that the waves in Newport used to seem bigger and better.
Maybe they just were bigger and better. Dang...

Not quite the sold out Lido, but the Elk's show had a good showing Friday night.

Old school Newport from above.

Even ladies like Echo Beach.

Doheny had a few waves.

So did Ford.

Hoyer had a wave using our helmet cam.
I took a bad photo because I wasn't payin attention.

Jeff Parker was super psyched on the movie!

Women aren't usually allowed in the Elk's Lodge,
so when they get in there they get a bit aggressive.

A New Venture

ShoresCrew is now ready to help clean up these filthy streets of Newport.

It's not a honey-sucker, it's a mini street sweeper!

How cute! Think of Meehan cruising the streets in the summer, yellow caution-light on, shirt off.
Let the good times roll.

End of the Road

Everyone was saying that everywhere in Newport sucked.
Well, one place was kind of fun, if you like getting completely smashed.

The swell coincided with the start of the Newport to Ensenada sailboat race.

The usual HB lurkers creedled their way down. Brandon Tipton got a decent one.

Ryan Turner threw a leg stall for old times.

That's one way to ride it.

Geoff Moysa stuff himself into a weird one.

The view from the wrong side of the tracks.

Even I got a fun one! The boogieboard was psyching on it... haha
thanks to scsDigital for the pics...

Right before sunset some SpaceCase charged some complete walls.

P.

To death!

That's not going to end well....

Alan, now a gimp, enjoyed himself from the sand.

Another glorious Newport sunset.

ViveCoolCity - shooting

The guys from ViveCoolCity just happen to be in the right place at the wrong time. Holy Shit.

Just a little hole in the wall.

You can have your glory-hole and I can have mine.

Combo Swell, finally....

Right side peak.

Bones and a solid carve.

Bones' wraparound on the inside.

Bones is good at the getting up there backside part.

Joelani putting the Wardo/AI model to the test.

Heatbutt punt.

Hoyer jump. Sometimes doublegrabs turn into liens.

Which is shocking!

Moysa carve.

Moysa ducking in behind the rocks.

And people claiming it for him.

John Rinek style ride.

Bones slashing himself out the back.

Beandip got tubed!

Erica Hosseini.

Joe Frizzelle, burning those stupid kids.

I think this is Joe getting barreled too.

Wrath of Alan

These used to be bagel bites....

For those of you who like the Dinner with Alan movies, there's plenty more to come by the look of things.  Take the other night, while we didn't get out of bed to film, the show went on without us.  We woke up in the morning to a house full of delicious smelling smoke.  Alan came home and stumbled into a batch of Bagel Bites, only to pass out with them in the oven.  Who cooks shit at 500 degrees anyway?  So look forward to more Alan episodes unless he burns the house down and kills us all first.

Anything but surf

Here's some pictures of my friends that surf.
Taken while they were doing anything but.

Pascal Stansfield enjoying a cold one on the beach.

Clyde, Cheyne Magnusson's mongrel.

Justin Quirk and Clyde. Relaxing.

Bones and his new face.

Daniel Shea and his blurry ladybug friend.

Tetz from Japan and Alan in a quiet moment.

Dinner with Alan 3 part 2

Alan fights his roommate Sam and then discusses the strange hold that surfer phenom Jordy Smith seemingly has over the house.

Dinner with Alan 3 part 1

Alan enjoys a magic show, then goes to a bar to celebrate his birthday. Later he fights his roommate.

Gay Chicken

If anyone asks you to play Gay Chicken, don't. You won't win, or lose or wait.... Does it really matter? Ok fine, play it and find out for yourself.
Just look how much fun Alan and Joe are having.
Joe won because he touched Alan's penis. Does that make them both winners?
