Well folks, the cold hard truth is coming out today... we're staring down the barrel of an extended flat spell. The 7 day forecast doesn't have much hope and with a high sitting right over us it could be a little bit before we see some waves again. I got on it early again today just to get a few more while I could. Not a whole lot out there but I managed to get into a couple. The stiff west wind has blown all the nice warm water out to sea and I'm guessing the temps are somewhere around 65 degrees now. Trunks probably weren't the best call this morning... Someone said the 3rd week of August should be firing though so look forward to that. The plus side to the flatness is sunny days and mild humidity.
Short and fat, generally not two things you look for together, but realize it or not that's exactly what's happening in the surf world. Boards are getting shorter and fatter. Folks like Dane Reynolds and Matt Biolis know what's up. They have been riding and shaping little stubbies for a while now. Dane has certainly been stepping out of the box with his board quiver on the ASP Dream tour and the fact that he's being successful is making it ok for everyone else to do. "When in doubt do what Dane does", drop 4 inches in length and add one in width. Matt Biolis has been on this program long enough to know what's up. With boards like the Round Nose Fish, Motivator, Blunt, Plank, Rocket, Stealth, etc. he pretty much has everything you need. I'm a believer and sometimes I feel like the above boards were specifically designed for NH. Check out TransWorld Surf for the full article and if it make sense swing by and check out some of the Lost boards I listed above. Build that quiver and make your boards work for you!!!
It's happening soon! Here is a little pre X hype!
Dudes, the future is closer than you think... watch skateboarding in 3D on your computer!!! Check it out HERE and if you don't have any 3D glasses Rune will walk you through the steps on how to make your own pair right before he destroys the pool!!!

Forget the surf for now and go skate. Maybe I'll be wrong and we'll have waves sooner than I think!
