Get rich quick business idea floated
free of charge to entrepreneurial young surfers
There was once a time, not even long ago, when a young
surfer with a 40% alley-oop strike rate could earn a living off this Sport of
Kings. First came sponsorship as one of the “local pros.” Next came a fine
sales rep job for Hurley or Volcom. Last came retirement and a generous pension.

A guide to surfboard nose shapes
If you traced a surfboard on the ground with a marker, that
outline would subtly explain how the board paddles, trims, and turns. The front

forward, it behaves like a hy

When Jordy says it’s the best surf of his life, you stop and
watch. Not because of hype, but because moments like this are rare, even for
someone who’s spent a lifetime chasing waves. What unfolds is a day of
non-stop, pumping barrels, breaking along a stretch of coastline not far from
where he grew up. Familiar ground, seen in a way it almost never reveals
