The Battle Has Started...

Dunno if you watched 'the battle at the berrics' the first time round but basically....
Pro skaters Eric Koston and Steve Berra own a skatepark in downtown L.A. called The Berrics. Last year they held a large game of S.K.A.T.E. (contest between two skaters were they basically have to out trick each other, if they fail they're opponents trick they get a letter, first one to get s.k.a.t.e. loses). So anyways due to being a large success they're holding another one with the skaters entering having been voted in. The first battle of round 1 has just happenned....



Thankfully the best man one... though after some serious rule bending and a trip back to the 80's it was a lot closer than it should have been...

No dogs on the beach












The rain cleared in time for the dog to stretch its legs and the few keen loces to get wet... Rusty, jim newitt, rich pryer, rich symcock, bourney an' bryn

Not Quite



After insane waves the weekend before, the next weeks charts looked promising, but after getting up a 2.30am it was a little disapointing... though i think Bjorn still enjoyed it!

UK impersonating WA



This went down a few weeks back, i reckon some of the best barrels i've seen in england were ridden. With some spot on swell/weather forecasting from macca, i spent a long weekend either hiking up and down a hideously steep cliff or treading water trying to capture the on form pack of boogers; Wall, Storey, Macca, Smythe, Hatfield, Dogger, Insley, Turcan, etc throwing themselves into some shallow slabs... I have'nt posted any water shots as they've gone to a mag first and i don't want to jinx myself.
When they don't get published and i'm bummed i'll put them on here...

Skate Wednesdays





With everyone back from the mountains and summer here, wednesday night skates up at C.P. are back on... only problem the place is soaked from the foot of rain that fell through the day...
British summers... Love 'em!
these are from last year

Drop off zone only, no waiting

I would love to hear what that annoying nodding dog would make of this...'ah no no no no no'.

Beach Buddies












I was stoked to see the hardback book on legendary surf lensmen LeRoy Grannis, while round at my a friends. I know Rog is pretty out there and very arty, but was pretty shocked to see he'd got a marker pen out and drawn all over this expensive limited edition classic... but after a good flick through, i decided what he'd done was actually really rad... There's no chance i'm going town with a felt tip on my book collection, but here's some of his book individuality.... what do ya reckon?

A New Blog

This is my new little blog... http://thelobsterlounge.blogspot.com/ it will hopefully be a collective of photos of waves/tubes but not your run of the mill ocean going ones... More along the lines of ones that appear in other places like in your plate of tortilla chips, under a hedge or on the corner of a piece of paper... you catch my drift
If you've got any cool photos of the above send 'em in and be a part of it...
Cheers Ollie
