Surf's Up...
...a lot now in Hollywood. Lilo and Stitch and the Blue Crush surfer girls flick...
But the one I'm waiting for is <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/step_into_liquid.html" target="_blank">"Step Into Liquid"</a> from the producers of "Endless Summer I&II". An article in Vanity Fair also writes about the "Tow Surfers", surfers who ride the largest waves anywhere. Some as big as 80 feet...in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! They use Jet Skis to tow them up to speeds of 30-40 mph and then surf these giants at speeds of 60-70 mph!
Just awesome dude...I'm stoked... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
Not a surfer myself, just giving props to the men and women who provide some amazing thrills in this sport/lifestyle.

I designed some t-shirts for a dude who is a surfer. He's gone around the world "looking for that perfect wave". He was quite a character. In some ways I think it's the lifestyle that appeals to some. Waking up, jumping out of the van with your board and surf all day...and chicks, too.
In that Vanity Fair article it mentions at the end about that "Neptune Project". Supposedly one of the surfers (Flea) in the article did ride a 100 foot wave...only thing is that no one recorded or photographed it. Bummer... <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
