A Craftsman at Work

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

This weekend I went down to Austin’s surfboard factory to see what was going on. He’s recently taken a liking to shaping some wooden boards. He’s working with balsa, paulownia, and redwood. If you thought that shaping a board out of foam was a lot of work, take a look at this! He has to [...]

Nick Gets a Shiner

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

I’d like to say I was in a knock down drag out fight…or that I was training for a cage fight, but unfortunately I can’t. I got this nice little shiner on Friday while surfing at Croatan by the Jetty. I was on a nice little wave going down the line when I lost my [...]

Here’s a picture of me and my buddy Bart on our 12 hour road trip to the OBX and back. We met up at 6am Sunday morning with hopes of epic surf down at Cape Hatteras, NC. After stopping into Grandy for some sweet potato biscuits and buttery grits (I promise those aren’t stripper names), [...]

The Dog Patch at San Onofre State Beach

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

This is a video of me surfing at a place called the Dog Patch at San Onofre State beach. It was my last wave of the day and the swell was starting to back off a bit. Earlier in the day the sets were coming in at chest to head high. This break is a [...]

Swami’s Looking South

Monday, September 8th, 2008

California was great. I surfed my heart out and Christy got her share of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, La Jolla, and Coronado. The above picture was taken at one of my favorite spots called Swami’s looking south (the break is looking north…more pictures of that soon). I just love the cliffs and ruggedness [...]
