Surfing Photo of The Day.

Body surfing in Hawaii.
Body surfing is my favorite way to surf, yeah I know the photos aren't as cool as
stick riders (I've got 2 sticks collecting dust in my storage room), but nothing
beats you and the wave... a pair of fins helps too.

Surfing Photo of The Day.

Bet you didn't know that there is a surfing scene up in Alaska.
Yeah, I know, you won't be chowing down on mangos under
a palm tree, more likely you'll be sipping the scotch for anti-freeze.
Today's photo is from Alaska Sport Exposed.

The boat in the photo is a Wave Witch, made by Hunt Johnsen down in Encinitas.

Maud's Boat Has A Boo Boo.

My favorite long distance loopy rower turned sailor, Maud Fontenoy (she talks to smurfs)
has been dismasted. Will she continue? Will she have another smurfy day? Will the
whales sing to her? Only time will tell. More at Le Monde. Listen to Maude's tale.
