So the day that I was flying out Kris Kussee and I got out on Willard and HAD A BLAST. I set my boat up regular and we just rolled with it. Kris went first and made mention about lacking some push so I hit the fill button on my system and filled about 150-200 in counter weight in the STRBRD locker and we were golden. Kris absolutely was loving it, it was a clean wave and he was SHREDDING on the Mucas. It was by far his and my best surf sets weve had all season long. I surfed the whole time Heelside and was attempting HS 360's and 180's. Ive got lots of vid but Im needing some time to put it all together

 

We swung by to see if we could help these guys with some surfin and the the owner wasnt willing to let us offer our help. We watched them struggle before they gave up and tubed LOL Anyways some pics

 

 

 

 

One more week till Im back home and hopefully surfin!

Those are some awesome pics dura! Wish I could have been there. You're the freakin' heelside king! Hit me up when you get back and let's pick a day to get the guys together and surf. I'm going through some serious withdrawls. I think I've only surfed once this month due to work and family stuff. Hopefully things will die down next week.

 

oh yeah, and Dark, that vid was sweet! BC has some of the best mountain biking around. I've always wanted to make a trip up there to do some riding.

Dura, those were some great shots! Love that first one of you there.

Thanks for the love of the MB vid guys. My wrist has been sore ever since.LOL.

I may just have be the first person to post some negative pics on the Monthly Pic Thread. Here they are:

 

Crack on the sidewall of the Mucas... friend fell on it kinda hard couple weeks ago. Not sure if that's what caused it, but it's all I can think of.

 

Tried to get a friends 10 year old daughter up to tandem surf hellside after having my 8 year old up with me. She bailed off the back of the board taking my back leg with her. My front foot stuck to the board like glue and I did the "super splitz" pulling my hamstring. 3 days later this bruise appeared. Now it's 6 days later and doesn't feel one bit better. So I have a doc's appointment in the next 45 mins. Hoping for good news, but expecting bad. So it IS possible to hurt yourself surfing! LOL.

Will keep y'all posted.

BTW. Really looking forward to your next vid Dura!

Good news. Doc says I'll feel much better in a week or two.But says to lay off physical activities for 1 month... 3 weeks is almost a month right?

Here's a screen grab from some gopro video from last week.

Hopefully I'll be back at it sooner than later.

What is a good size for pictures to be uploaded as?

[duramat 462]

Bo, I don't know off the top of my head. But I use Picassa to save them down to a better size that way, really easy

[DarksideR 1,679]

What is a good size for pictures to be uploaded as?

You should consider the average persons screen resolution. Most people should have a minimum screen res of 1024x768. If your pic is landscape, make the width 900 or 1000px. If it's portrait, make the height around 700px. I actually just use Paint to downsize pics for uploading to this site.

 

Here is a portrait 466w X 700h

Could have been a little smaller... forgot about the web browser banner.

That pic is cool!

 

But...you should work on your foot placement.
