MANHATTAN BEACH

LOOKING NORTH FROM THE PIER

SOME DUDE ABOUT TO BE SICK

Souther California has been getting a lot of rain lately, and with that rain comes waves. Good waves. The only problem is the radioactive water. The brave ones get mostly empty line ups to themselves... and maybe a sinus infection to boot.

Saw this today.
One shoe Joe's board for sure.
Did you grow up surfing? Then you've done this?
I love the unknown backstory here. Two leash plugs? one super janky shoelace leash string. Parking lot makeshift delux.

Load up the board bags, pack your trunks, and hop on the plane, it's time to get dialed in for the North Shore season again! Over here at Windowseat, we've been amping to get out there and begin documenting the radness of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, and it just so happens that we picked up some uber shredders along the way. We stopped by San Clemente yesterday and met up with the Gudauskas brothers as they prepared for their epic voyage out to Hawaii. Upon reaching the Gudauskas' pimp pad, we were greeted by the fully stoked faces of Tanner, Dane, and Patrick just as they were loading their 30 boards into their truck headed straight for LAX. As of lately, Cali has had some decent waves, but the boys were ready to leave their wetsuits behind and venture out to shralp in the tropical land full of sick pits and frothy faces. As we barged up to LAX, the Gudauskas bros gave us some incredible insight about their experiences, predictions, hopes, and thoughts about everything that is the Triple Crown. With the the classic entertainment of the Gudauskas Trestles Trio, the show is off to an amazing start and will definitely be something you won't want to miss!
Much like the Gudauskas brothers, Windowseat Pictures has been strongly committed to providing the most phenomenal performances out of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing for years on end. We couldn't be more psyched to make our fifth Triple Crown television show and witness history in the making while doing so. So for now sit tight and check out the live web cast of each contest on the Vans website, but hold tight cause you're gona be in for one hell of a ride when the show airs! Keep on shralping!

Today I decided to shred the internet and see what kind of fun things are going on in the wide world of snowboarding. I checked all the usual spots, the company pages, some of the video pages, and finally the magazine pages. When I got to snowboardermag.comm I saw something that caught my eye. Up in the right corner was a very yellow advertisement. It's yellowness lured me in, and I had to click on it. Instantly I was transported to a youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/RollIntoTheXGamess) for a video contest put on by Totino's pizza rolls and the X-Games. Featured on this page is a video that the one and only Windowseat Pictures produced with our good friend Danny Kass. Mr. Kass goes to the local skatepark with his friends, and has a good time doing it. When he's done skating he invites you to make a video of your favorite activity, and you might win a trip to the Winter X-Games and $5000. Not too shabby. Right now there are only a couple entries, my favorite being the extreme sledding video If you think you can do better than these guys you should head on over and enter the contest, but extreme sledding is going to be hard to beat.

Snowboarding has become stale. There are so many pros and every one of them can do the same tricks. Progression these days basically means doing the same trick but bigger and with an extra 180. Every year it seems like someone does a new trick, or brings back an old school trick and starts doing it all over the place. Then people see what the hot new trick is and start doing it themselves, and it becomes stale again. But there are the people out there that don't care about what's trendy, and these are people who are going to invent new tricks and do things the normal snowboarder has never imagined. A few people that come to mind are Scott Stevens, Jesse Burtner, Jamie Lynn, Terje, and Travis Rice. But there are riders that aren't pro that do this every time they ride. They just look at riding their snowboard differently than most. One of these people is my good friend Jeremy Sherman. A good example of this a trick he did when we were on the East Coast doing a jib mission. After a long day of riding street rails we were headed home, and we drove by a construction site that had a bunch of materials laying around. We decided to check it out, and when we pulled into the parking lot we saw the most massive corrugated tube propped up at an angle so the end of it was about 15 feet off the ground. There was a sizable run up to get speed, and we thought we could jib the top of it and launch off the end. Jeremy took a run at it to see if there was enough speed, and a light bulb went off in his head. Instead of jibbing the top he decided he would jib the inside of it. He dropped in from the massive snowbank and, at mach speed, crouched low and cruised through the inside of the tube. It was pretty insane. Innovation right before my eyes. A new trick nobody had every done before, and it looked sick to boot.

LEO GOES TO THE BOOST MOBILE PRO

With all my homie pros on the WCT showing up, and a swell model on the horizon looking more than pretty, it was inevitable that the 2008 Boost Mobile Pro was going to make for a phenomenal show. Seeing as my Montessori school just a short ride in the carseat away from Trestles, there was no way that me and the WINDOWSEAT gang were going to miss this one.

So we get there and the top 44 are ripping nearly perfect head high Lowers, and it was close to impossible to turn your back away from the excitement in the ocean. Thank God I got clout and scored a VIP wristband from the brothers Beschen (thats Noah and Koda not Dad and uncle). So we were able to kick it with the boys up top in the tent. Speaking of uncles, my godfather was there and we shared a couple juices.

Superstar surf uncle legends Kelly Slater and Taj Burrow suited up, waxed their shred sleds, and hopped into the forty minute final. Within minutes Taj got up on his first wave and just completely demolished the face off of a beautiful trestles right, ending with a classic air reverse. Minutes pass and true to form Taj's flare, style, and flawless maneuverability earned him an 18.6 for his two best waves. This put Slater into quite the combo position, and as you and l know Slates hates to be comboed. Sure enough. Slater gracefully snagged a sick one and raced down the line throwing his tail every direction to earn him a 9.7. But still, that wasn't enough. Minutes go by and as the people in and out of the water grew tense, the final was coming to a near and Slater still needed more than a 9 to get him a Victory. Then it happened... With just minutes on the clock, a nice lined up right rolled through and Slates capitalized on his last chance. Throwing down two mind-blowing Slater carves, a carving three sixty and some more stylish power gashes, Slater phenomenally blasted his way into earning a 9.27 to take the lead. The crowd went wild as the eight time World Champ pulled a couple rabbits out of his hat and clenched hist fifth victory of the year. With this win, Kelly drastically increased his chances of winning his ninth World Title and also earned himself the biggest first place prize money ever in the history of surfing ($75,000 to be exact, but who's counting right?) .
