Like most of the footage I’ve posted, this is just a quickly cut together set of footage from the raw. There are no transitions or music and mostly this is because it’s what I have the time to actually throw together. Eventually I will work on more heavily edited videos, including some stills and additional footage left behind. Ultimately the plan is to do a final movie containing the activities of this year, but that’s still some months in the future. In the mean time, this will provide some glimpses of what may be included later. This day was a fun adventure with a bicycle ride to this surf spot with some buddies from nearby (Portland) and far away (Utah). We were all staying at a vacation rental on the beach and had a great week at the coast.<\/p>\n
This is also my first surf session with my brand new custom firewire surfboard. It’s a customized dominator; wider in the front, narrower in the rear, and slightly thinner than stock. It’s still super thick at the 6’9″ length and floaty. It’s exactly what I wanted it to be, which is really easy to paddle and fun in smaller surf. It took 4 months to get this board and I don’t know that I’d go through that wait again, but it sure is a blast for summer surf in Oregon!<\/p>\n
This also includes a pretty entertaining view of me getting worked by a wave that I missed the takeoff on.<\/p>\n
