Fist Pumpesque

My buddy Dale sent this my way saying it looked like a Fist Pump that Ryan Burch is ripping. Indeed it does, but I believe that to be one of those asymmetrical shapes that he is making. Nevertheless, beautiful board, beautiful wave.

The Perfect Surf Mobile

Recently I decided it was time for a second vehicle as my wife will be needing the car we share for grad school. So, I started digging through craigslist trying to uncover what kind of magic $3000 could afford. To my dismay, the answer to that question is, not much. The cars either have a ridiculous amount of miles on them, or in the words of the craiglist ad is a "GREAT car, just needs engine." The other issue that I was contending with is that cars just don't have the personality today that they used to. Sure, you can drive them for 300,000 miles, but they all look the same. Clearly this is not a matter of practicality, but when searching for your surf mobile, style plays a significant role. This begs the question, what makes the perfect surf mobile? I have compiled a list of the four necessary ingredients to consider when purchasing the perfect surf mobile. 1. it must get you to the beach with out breaking down, period. 2. it must be able to safely accommodate your board of choice (loggers you will need either a long empty vehicle or a roof rack). 3. it must have a heater that works (very important for cold water surfers). 4. it must exude the proper amount of personality. After considering these four issues, I finally came up with the perfect ride for a Michigan surfer and came in under budget.
