+THE SEA OF POSSIBILITY+ JACK LYNCH
+THE SEA OF POSSIBILITY+ JACK LYNCH from Nicholas Damen on Vimeo.
The Sea of Possibility.
"I fly in on the last flight to the Island Tasmania, that heart shape landmass that if drawn incorrectly in primary school just made your map of Australia look really average. Its cold, 6 degrees cold, for me that is pretty cold, for girls hitting downtown Hobart though, it appeared that it wasn’t too chilly at all.
We trek down a beaten dirt farm track, as we break the hill the sea comes into view. It’s a point swell. Job on, the water is cold, feet numbing cold. The locals are welcoming; don’t know how they strip down on the rocks in the cold though.
Still undecided if Tasmanians have Internet, refreshingly though, no one knows that Reynolds has a new neck beard out this season. There are no neck beards here, just full beards on Men, Men that withstand the cold, year in year out to surf the Point Swells. No Loggers either with trailing bat tails, but in there place on the Points a surprising number of bodyboarders.
The swell lasted a day. A venture through a leech-infested Tasmanian National Park the following day provided no more possibilities for another surf. So my time was up on the apple isle, an early flight out the next morning brought my impromptu surf mission to an end. I came to the conclusion that Tasmania holds a sea of possibility and I will be returning, perhaps in the summer time."

SURFED.AT
What is Surfed.at?
Surfed.at is a growing directory of thousands of surf spots around the world. It lets you discover new places to surf, record and rate the places you want to try.
What’s up with the spot ratings?
To help you find the world’s awesomest surf spots, the rating of each spot takes a few things in to consideration. The first thing is pretty obvious, the rating that you the user gives it. So no spot will be given a good rating if people think its crap. Now, there is one thing we all hate more than anything, and that is crowds. So when more people add a spot, the spot’s ranking goes down because it’s being spoilt by crowds. This is calculated like a bell curve, so a spot gets a better score as people add it but when a certain amount people has added it, the score starts to diminish. Make sense?
The third thing that influences a score is a bit trickier, it is the remoteness of the spot. We reckon a spot with a good ranking that is far removed from another spot and has few people that has surfed there is going to be one of those fairy tale spots that we all dream about surfing. That is why you’ll see places like Teahupo ranking really well.
Now how about my ranking?
As you add your surf spots, you inherit the points from the spot.

Squared Surfboards
My first contact with Squared Surfboards, was with Justin McEdward portfolio at Behance Network.
After exchanging some emails with Justin and Casey, here is one of the first shapes of Squared Surfboards a 5'10" hollow wood surfboard. Excellent photos by Justin! I want to thank you both for sharing your work and giving me the opportunity to publish.
"Squared surf boards are designed and built by owner Casey Mullen. His goal is to provide high quality boards made from natural renewable resources. Casey prefers using Northern White Cedar and White Oak. The wood species are glued together forming a hollow, light weight, and strong surf board. There is no gas plug in the deck because the wood breathes as the internal air expands and contracts. By using wood rather than synthetic materials Squared seeks to offer a board that provides greater ding resistance and flexion properties, both of which will result in a longer lasting board. Each surf board is custom built to match the riders vision of the perfect board. The length, profile, volume, rail and bottom shapes, as well as skeg options are all up to the individual rider.
Casey is New Hampshire based and rides throughout the new england area. He is currently offering free demos for anyone interested in surfing wood." - Justin McEdward.
Casey Mullen - "I design and build hollow wood surfboards. The board is 5' 10" and weighs 12.5 lbs. It has a very low volume towards the tail and tapers to an 1 7/8" thick at it's widest point just under 21". I have rode it for three years and have close to 100 sessions on it."
