Why I joined Pinterest and why you should too

I recently joined Pinterest after being persuaded by various friends. I was told it would change my life and plainly be alot of fun. Sure enough, I have been spending alot of time on Pinterest, sometimes more than Twitter...Yikes!

I really enjoy using it to spark my creativity and see what other artists are doing around the world. In addition the amazing pictures of food are always fun to look at. If only I was a world class cook. In addition, the photography is just amazing and it is a great way to share your favorite surfing pictures.


Surfer Living - Top 10 Airlines for Surf Trips

Nothing is worse than traveling with your surfboards and getting charged absurdly when checking in for your flight. Luckily my friends over at Surfer Living have put together a great list of the best airlines to travel with and how much they charge for surfboards.



The ASP Dream Tour

Many are beginning to question the ASP World Tour and whether it really is the "Dream Tour" I mean in some ways it is. For example, the accommodations for the pro surfers and the amount of prize money at each event has increased substantially.

But with tour stops in New York and San Francisco this past year, it often has the appearance that we have strayed away from holding contests in the best and most consistent surf spots in the world. With rumors foating around of different "alternative" tours with big prize purses and some of the best waves around it will be exciting to see how the ASP responds. 

The reality is that I am not against the ASP World Tour in any way. I think it has been the driving force behind our sport and its great that pro surfers can make a good living through winning contests and endorsement deals. 


Moreover, I think we are at a defining moment for professional surfing and that as the ASP continues to advance and improve the world tour, we will see surfing begin to gain coverage in the mainstream media whether we have contests in New York or Tavarua.


Sanuk Shoes

I have been wearing Sanuk Sandals for the past year or so and absolutely love them. They have a ton of different styles and they all look so cool. Their designs are so simple and are perfectly fit for surfers. Seeing that I wear them every day, rain or shine, they are really durable.


Whoa! What happened to the Site?

Here at The Surfboard Man.com we are really excited to be putting the finishing touches on our new site design. What started as a concept has become a functioning website which we are stoked on. Enjoy!
