Da Birds

99.9% of the time David shoots waves. Usually really big and barreling waves.  Every now and then he takes a shot of the other stuff that happens at the beach, like this flock of pigeons he took while we were shooting down in La Jolla on a huge swell. There is something that is mesmerizing about this photo. Enjoy.

Summer Fun on the 101, Festival of SURF MUSIC will make a stop at Ducky Waddle's Emporium of Friday August 27th with a musical performance by Jon Swift. Listening to Jon's music is like sitting with a close friend who has just come home from a long journey. Melding carefully crafted words with delicately orchestrated compositions, Jon writes lyrically-driven spirituals disguised as modern day folk songs. Jon recently completed and recorded the score for Rob Machado's new surf film, Melali. Seth Pettersen will open. Doors open 7:00 . Donation $10.00, proceeds benefit Paul Ecke Central: School as a Garden program.

Here’s a shot of long time Murphy Surfboards team rider JP Marengo. JP is a La Jolla reefs local who knows those breaks place like the back of his hand. He paddels out and surfs the biggest days of the year on his longboard, getting huge barrels. He inspires me. Cool guy too.  Go check out the Murphy blog, they have tons of great shots of him.
