Old new school vs. New new school. Yoda vs. Skywalker. Taj v.s Jordy
In yesterdays action, much like this hit YOU TUBE VIDEO, age and wisdom prevails over youth. Will this be Taj’s year?

Well with only a few hours to go until round 1, and trading still not open on the fantasy surfer website, I now feel confident that ASG is not going to make it happen for the first contest of the season. They need to hire data back, and get him to regulate.
Well, with a few days until snapper the verdict is still out on if Action Sports Group will complete the much needed revamp of the fantasy surfer website (fantasysurfer.com) prior to the first round of competition. I became skeptical when they missed their own deadline two weeks ago. They later updated their site to allow for pre-registration, and to preview surfer values which is basically just a bs way of trying to buy time. Will they make the deadline, or will this failure help bolster more support for Fantasy Actions Sports League (fantasyactionsportsleague.com/surf). The cool part about FASL is that you can actually win money, the downside is it is fairly expensive. Only Time will tell. I am looking forward to the quiksilver pro 2010 at snapper rocks, and kicking off the new season.
The nostalgia reminds me of the very popular waterfront dining restaurants and bars I frequented by boat as a kid in virginia beach, va. The bait house is literally an old dockside baithouse in clearwater beach municipal marina that was converted to a bar and restaurant. The entire place is on a dock over the water and they kept part of the true “bait shack” look by keeping a small bait and tackle shop in the entrance to the restaurant. The restaurant is out over the water, facing the waterway and the flow of boats motoring in and out of the marina.
PIPE MASTERS IS ON AT 8AM HAWAII TIME – Watch it Live Year Winner Edward Ryan Makua Hanai Aikau (Kahului, Hawaii, May 4, 1946 – March 17, 1978) was a well-known Hawaiian lifeguard and surfer. The words Makua Hanai in Eddie Aikau’s full name mean feeding parent,[1] an adoptive, nurturing, fostering parent,[2][3] in the Hawaiian language. As the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on the island of Oahu, he saved many lives and became famous for surfing the big Hawaiian surf, winning several awards including the 1977 Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship. Life Lost at Sea The last person lifeguard Eddie Aikau rescued at Waimea Bay was a young TV producer named John Orland, who had just wrapped up production on a TV pilot called the “Hawaii Experience,” starring Bob Crane from Hogan’s Heroes. He was rescued on February 19, 1978, less than a month before Eddie Aikau was lost at sea. Memorial surfing invitational Since its inception (Eddie Aikau’s brother Clyde Aikau[8] won the first Eddie in 1985), the tournament has only been held seven times, due to a precondition that open-ocean swells reach a minimum of 20 feet (this translates to a wave face height of over 30 feet).[9] The most recent tournament was in December 2004, when waves in the bay reached 30 to 50 feet (15 m) high. The contest only invites 24 big-wave riders to participate in two rounds of competition. The event does not allow the use of jet skis to tow surfers into the waves. Popular culture Another variation of the aforementioned popular phrase is “Eddie wouldn’t tow.” This phrase is in reference to the method of big wave surfing in which one surfer must accelerate another surfer (the former on a jet ski, the latter towed on a surfboard) to the speed of a large, fast wave. It is also partially in response to the controversy over the “unnaturalness” of tow-in surfing; many surfers feel that being towed in to a wave, as opposed to paddling, is against the spirit of the sport.[10] Other variations of the phrase include “Eddie would throw” (in support of the University of Hawaii’s passing attack by Colt Brennan under June Jones), “Eddie wouldn’t crow” (in opposition to boastful and egotistical surfers), and “Eddie would hoe” (in support of Native Hawaiian agricultural outreach programs). Another variation used recently during the 2008 election campaign for Honolulu rail transit was the slogan, “Eddie would ride.” details and photos to follow Get a strike with a fuzzy decorative dice DP Contest is on! Looks like we will have some fun swell on tap, although the NW will be fading a bit and we will be going into a fat high tide. Therefore, we will start the 1st heat at 7:30 am. PLEASE NOTE: if you are not present for your first heat, you will not make it to the “loser” round. In other words, its single elimination for the people that show up late! The final venue has yet to be determined. It will be announced at the “Massive Happy Hour Attack” tomorrow. Don’t forget to bring cash or check for the American Cancer Society. Here is who is competing. Let me know if I left anyone out.
Greetings fellow Donks! That’s right, the time is here! We will be holding the 5th Annual Donkey Patrol Fall Classic Invitational Surf Tournament on Saturday, September 19th at 8:00 am. However, we must carb load on beers and tortilla chips in order to be at our peak performance! With that said, we will converge on El Callejon in Encinitas on Friday. Many of us plan to be there around 3 pm to get an early advantage over the competition. We will go over scoring, again, as many of you were throwing out 10’s for simply breathing. It looks like we will have a strong crew both for the competition and our happy hour attack. I will post the forecast, outlook, etc. shortly. I will need the names of everyone who plans on competing. Hasta lluego! Smythe
Happy Hour Menu House Margaritas & Well Drinks only $3.00 each Beer imported $2.75 domestic $2.00 Remember that the last two days of the waiting period is when the donkey contest is scheduled for.
