My Surf Videos

I have been fortunate to meet some great people out here in Nor Cal. This past weekend I met Trevor, an aspiring Hollywood actor who, between auditions, kiteboards in and around Los Angeles with a small group of aspiring actors. Kiteboarding or kite surfing, is the latest craze in extreme water sports Trevor says, and his kiteboarding clan (and future Oscar winners) are out there 3-5 days a week tearing up the waves outside of Hollywood. It is only right that I refer to their lifestyle as “Hollywood kiteboarding”. I hope to see Trevor on the big screen in the near future. I can see him in a “Point Break” sequel…

Here’s another sweet video of extreme kiteboarding that I found on MySpace. This kiteboarder gets some great airtime and holds a sweet grab! It’s a little shaky but definitely worth watching.

P.S. Trevor promises to send some kiteboarding videos when he gets around to it.

Surfing the web for some sweet surfing videos I came across one of my favorite childhood cartoons – The Flintstones!! Not only that, but it’s a commercial for one of my childhood vices- Fruity Pebbles. I love the internet!

Only when my grandparents would come stay was I able to eat Fruity Pebbles. Here’s a classic commercial for Fruity Pebbles with my favorite cartoon characters, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. Feeling nostalgic yet? I welcome anyone to send classic commercial surfing videos, which I’ll post, and I’ll continue to search as well.

P.S. Kudos to anyone who can locate the video of the Flintstones Surfin’ Fred episode and can post the clip of Fred looking like a fool trying to impress the teenage surfers of Rock Island. Yeah I’ve watched a few too many Flintstones episodes.

If you’re like me you surf the web for the best prices and discounts whether it be for collectibles or DVDs. I’m in the process of building up surfing dvd collection, as nothing is better than drinking beers and watching sick surfing movies. I’d almost put it on the level of beers and strip clubs… almost!

After spending a few hours here are some sites I found where I was able to get some great discount surfing dvds:

- Hanger 94
- actionsportsvideos.com
- Razor Reef
- Surf Ride

I am a longboarder. I enjoy the relaxation and experience of gliding on the waves. I also do not have the agility to handle a shortboard and carve. With that, for my first “real” entry I thought I should educate myself and all of you with a short history lesson on the immersion of longboarding in America. As we all know, longboards are the first surfboards.

Beginning in 1912, Duke Kahanamoku, a Hawaiian Olympic swimmer, brought surfing to mainland United States. Because of this, Duke is considered the “Father of Modern Surfing.” From then on, surfing became an integral part of the California beach lifestyle. In the 1920s boards made of plywood called Hollowboards came into use. These were typically 15 to 20 feet in length and very light.

Having almost been wiped out by the “shortboard revolution” the longboard returned in the early 1990’s. Surfers rediscovered the grace and poise – the “glide” – of the longboard, and the fun of classic maneuvers that are not possible on a shortboard.

Today’s longboard is much lighter than its predecessors. Its polyurethane foam and fiberglass design allows less drag on waves. Today’s longboards are typically 9′ to 10′ long. The classic single-fin longboard still retains much of its classic design

Aloha! My name is Justin and this is my blog “My Surf Videos”. I am a grom having grown up on the east coast. Having spent my summers down the Jersey Shore, I was able to learn the fundamentals of surfing. By no means am I a “Barney”, or us east coasters say “Benny”; I’ve had a chance to tear it up in Maui and Kauai. Now living in Nor Cal, I’ve tasted the waves in and around Bolinas/Stinson Beach: my new stomping grounds.

The one thing I will never get tired of is watching surfing videos. I can spend a whole day watching surfing videos (usually accompanied by a six pack or two). I just become mesmerized with the waves and the ease at which a surfer rides them. And who can forget about surfing movies – who can’t watch “Endless Summer” over and over and over again? So, I’ll be posting surfing videos from all over the web and trying to get the latest surfing videos from upcoming competitions. And YES, ladies soon enough you will see videos of Kelly Slater.

That’s enough for now, but I encourage all you to submit your surfing videos by leaving a comment. Let’s make this into a milfy site!
