MIKEY D’s MINI SIMMONS

Mikey DeTemple had this board shaped after watching our friend Tin shred on his door like surfboard… Tin’s board was a bit bigger so Mikey scaled it down a notch and made it 5′1″… I, personally, had some faith in the strange shape and outline after trying a wave or two on Tin’s a while back… This is our first try on the board as we are taking turns behind the video camera…

NORTH TO IDA (part 1)

NORTH TO IDA is the first episode in a series of videos I will be posting throughout 2010. I like to think that these episodes are a little different than what people are used to seeing when it comes to online surf media… I was trying for the video to have the feeling that even if you don’t surf you will see my journey and purpose as I set out to surf the waves from this extremely late Tropical system in November of 2009.
