NH Pride Hurt... But at least we got surf!

Good morning gang. (If you haven't surfed yet and have nothing to do stop reading this right now and go get some waves.) So I woke up this morning expecting some nice thigh high peelers but when I got to the beach I was surprised to see chest high sets! Luckily for me I had the 7'4 Feather Fastback (thanks again Ricker) in the back seat and used it to get some killer waves. My girlfriend and I had a great little session at Jenness Beach this morning. We each scored a ton of waves and saw a whole bunch of smiling, familiar faces scoring some fun ones too. The wind is currently light offshore and the buoys are at 4 and a half feet at 11 seconds... Go get some!
I also have some bummer news this morning, something that you're not going to be to excited about. I am sad to report that Mt. Washington no longer holds the world record for the highest recorded wind gust. The honor now belongs to a small island off the coast of Australia. The wind gust of 253 1/2 MPH was official recognized as fact just recently and beat out the 1934 wind record that Mt. Washington held for 76 years. Read the full article HERE. First we lost the Old Man on the Mountain, now the wind speed record, the only thing left for to lose is the "live free or die" quote from our license plates. Stay strong NH and remember even if it all goes south, we are the number 2 state in the country for beer consumption. If we lose "live free of die" we are guaranteed to be number one at beer consumption once everyone hits the bottle to dull the pain.

Surfer has posted a bunch of old photos from the monthly Extra Extra! page. There are some really funny/classic one in here. Backside floater, Spearheading the arial revolution, so funny cruise through the best of section HERE.

Last but not least DC just made Matt Miller's full length part from the DC Skateboarding Is Forever film Public. Enjoy.
