Alex Knost and Ford Archbold | Panama from Matt Tromberg on Vimeo.
Alex Knost and Ford Archbold surf a fun, closeout beach break in Bocas Del Toro, Panama. This wave looks way better than it actually is. It breaks like 5 feet from the sand in super shallow water. Do not be fooled, Bocas Del Toro is a super cool and really beautiful place, but the waves are not as good as they look. All in all, it was a fun trip, but we were a little let down by the wave quality. Hey, you win some, and you lose some.

Origin; from dop(a) + amine (a related substance) Release: When you are attracted to someone your brain releases the drug dopamine giving the same reaction that one gets from thrill seeking, sex, music, humanitarianism, surfing and skating to name a few.

ESTO ES SALINAS | This is Salinas

ESTO ES SALINAS from Jan Latussek on Vimeo.
ESTO ES SALINAS, es mi visión de lo que para muchos fue un “desastre” de festival. Dejando de lado los obvios fallos que este año la organización ha prometido corregir, Salinas, para mí, volvió a ser eso, encontrarse con viejos y nuevos amigos, buenas olas, buenos ratos tanto dentro como fuera del agua... familia y Longboard.

Este video intenta recoger eso y aunque no salen todos los que deberían, todos estáis ahí. Todos los que hacéis Salinas con vuestra presencia, con vuestras ganas, con vuestra energía, con vuestra ilusión, estáis aquí y os pido perdón si no salís en el video, pero con tanto pico, tanto baño libre, tanta gente y tan pocoas horas, no he podido filmaros e incluiros a todos.... por lo que esto es simplemente una pincelada...

_______________

ESTO ES SALINAS, is my vision of what was last years festival. Leaving aside the obvious mistakes that the organization has promised to correct, Salinas was again all it has allways been, a meeting of good old and new friends, good waves, good times in and out of the water... simply the Longboard Family.

This video, tries to reflect just that, and allthough not everyone that should be in it, was filmed... everyone IS in the video in one way or another. All those who contribute to Salinas with their presence, their dreams, their energies, YOU ARE HERE, I am truly sorry if you are not in the video, but with so much ground to cover, so many peaks, so many waves, so many frieds and so short days... I haven´t been able to film you all... to include you all.... that´s why to me, this is just a brush stroke of what this festival really is.

ESCAPE FROM BIGFOOT COUNTRY from Woody and the Blue Ox on Vimeo.
Cascadia's Bigfoot Country had treated our traveler Trevor Gordon to nothing but fun waves and pleasurable camping experiences. That, however, was before a close encounter with none other than the mythical Bigfoot himself.

Thus, Trevor thought it wise to head back home to Carpinteria, California. But before he left, he availed himself of some deserted waves.

The One Motorcycle Show, No. Five: Part 2 from See See Motor Coffee Co. on Vimeo.
Well the dust has settled–or maybe more appropriately, "the snow has melted"–since The One Motorcycle Show 2014. Our 5th year in operation: a milestone we never anticipated when we first dreamt this up back in 2010.

This was our biggest and best show to date. We worked harder and longer to get more bikes, more people, and more fun packed into a weekend celebrating 2-wheeled culture. Despite the worst snow storm Portland has seen in 5 years, we pulled it off without a hitch. It was a little worrisome that people would be scared away by the weather, but that was not the case. We had more than 9,000 attendees over two days and more than 120 bikes in the show!

It was smiles for miles. Check www.the1moto.com and seeseemotorcycles.com for more

NOOSA FEST UPDATE: FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED
Wednesday, 19 February 2014

International competitors start arriving. The Poms are lurking in Coolum and Byron Bay, waiting for the swell to come up, but the first official international arrival in Noosa was on February 12, all the way from Oporto, Portugal. Over 50s competitor Jose Pedro Marcos flew in for his first ever Noosa Surf Festival with his mother, Virginia (“Zizete”) Marcos, to begin a 42-day stay.

“I have been dreaming of coming to this event for many years,” Jose told local newspaper Noosa Today. “Friends have been telling me about it and I have seen the photos and the videos for more than a decade, but always there has been a reason I could not come – obligations with my work or other travel plans. Now I am here, I can see with my own eyes that it is a very beautiful place. All we need is some surf!”

Neither Jose nor Zizete has been to Australia before, and Zizete plans to take time out from Noosa to visit the Sydney Opera House and other attractions. But for Jose, this holiday is a Noosa mission. “I want to meet the local surfers, get to know the town, and most importantly, experience those beautiful waves on the points.”

Jose, 51, has worked in real estate development in his home town, and also in the surf industry, running surf schools. A year-round surfer most of his life, he admits that Oporto’s cold winters these days force him to “surf indoors” at the gym. “Europe was cold and stormy when we left, and now this,” he exclaims, taking in a beautiful, sunny afternoon at First Point. “We are very happy to be here.”

It’s been unseasonally flat for more than a week. Jose has 33 days left and counting, and there’s a little pulse on the horizon for late weekend. Pray for surf!

ALL MONEY DIVISIONS EXCEPT SEAGLASS FINLESS NOW FULL
Due to unprecedented demand from around the world, the three major pro divisions at the festival are now full, with waiting lists for the Vans Logger Pro and the Golden Breed Noserider Pro. The Seaglass Project Finless still has a few slots open. Most age divisions are now close to full too, and the Classic Malibu Teams Challenge is full with a waiting list.

Festival director Phil Jarratt said: “It breaks my heart when great surfers like the Delpero brothers from France can’t get a start in the pros, but we have a very full week of competition and there’s not much we can do. I guess the message is, get your entries in early.”

Phil advised competitors and hopefuls to keep a close watch on the Competitors tab at the Cricks Noosa Festival of Surfing website:
