Wave Selection
Wave Selection is the most important skill that a surfer can learn. Consequently, it is also the hardest. Wave selection is one of the biggest things which separates an average surfer from a surfer such as Kelly Slater. It is a skill which can only be learned for surfing. No book or guide can teach you. It simply comes from experience. Wave Selection is being able to choose the best wave out of the set and know how and when a wave will break. Wave Selection is the most important skill for surfing.

Interview: Clay Marzo
Clay Marzo, known for his innovative surf manuevers, has been surfing since a very young age.
But in 2007 he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.
Something that usually becomes a challenge in life has made Clay the surfer that he is today. Experts believe that Clay’s Aspergers Syndrome allows him to spend large amounts of focus and time on his surfing, which has made him an incredible surfer.
The reality is, the surfing world will continue to be amazed by Clay’s surfing and many hope he will eventually become a competitor on ASP World Tour.
Last week I had a chance to interview Clay:
Who is your favorite surfer to compete against?
“Don’t really have a favorite, but I like surfing against my friends like Granger, Dusty and the Maui boys”
What does it feel like when the top surfers, such as Andy Irons, says you are the best 19 year old surfer they have ever seen?
“Flattering”
Do you have a favorite food to eat before or after surfing?
“love Sambazon smoothies and grinds”
Do you ever surf longboards or any other boards which are different from your regular High Performance Surfboard?
“I’ve been out of the water about two months with a knee injury so I’ve been bodyboarding lately.”
What do you remember most about surfing as a kid?
“spending a lot of time at the beach with my parents and really having a great time surfing with my brother, Cheyne”
Do you do any sort of cross training or work out routine to prepare for surfing?
“Since I hurt my knee, I’ve been spending more time in the gym building up strength”
What advice would you give to someone with Aspergers who wants to try surfing?
“If you’re comfortable in the water, there is nothing better so go for it.”
Fixie Road Bikes
Fixed Gear Road Bikes are taking over the world!!!! Not really – but they are becoming more and more popular. The big question is why?
After doing some research I think I have the answer.
The reason “Fixies” are so popular right now is becuase they are fun to ride and provide a great workout. “Fixies” require you to continuously pedal, which means you are getting a far better workout that a regular road bike where you can coast. One major advantage of a fixed gear bike is that they need less maintenance because they have very few components. Most people use fixies for commuting or getting around town.
Have you ever thought about leaving your car at home and riding your bike to work or to the store?
