‘Cause without it, you wouldn’t be able to rodeo flip. Yes, that’s right, it’s the wax that makes it possible.

A Board is Born
I was lucky enough to watch Rich Luthringer rough shape one of his beautiful boards a few weekends ago. It’s crazy to see a perfect, little swallowtail emerge from a pretty primitive blank. Luthringer has made thousands of boards- literally, he stopped counting at 3,000. Sawing and sanding are second nature to him now, and he can (amazingly) feel imperfections in the boards by running his hands over the foam. Then he simply smoothes them out. No big deal.
“I could probably shape a board blind,” he says.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I just wouldn’t use a planer blind.”
Petition Against SUP?
This is an actual petition against SUP, which I find hilarious. Then again, I haven’t experienced much trouble with stand-ups out here; maybe Cali is overrun with them? The petitioners want to designate certain beaches as SUP-friendly (and banish them from the rest), mostly for safety reasons. They have 51 signatures so far, and only 1,949 until they reach their goal. Are you going to sign it? Tell me why/why not.
Fascinating Wax Facts
Here are a few things I learned this week that I think might interest you:
- Mr. Zog is a real person.
- Zog says that the ingredients in Sex Wax are considered “food grade” by the FDA.
- According to Lisa at Mrs. Palmers, Mrs. Palmer is not (as far as she knows) a real person. Bummer.
Surf Shop Challenge 2010
The SURFER and Oakley Surf Shop Challenge kicks off April 2nd with the Southwest regional comp in Cardiff, C.A. The next stop is Seaside Heights, N.J. (Casino Pier!) Last year, the team from Heritage (Sea Isle City, N.J.) won the Northeast title for the second consecutive year. On April 19-20, Heritage will battle royale with Ocean Hut, Inlet Outlet and other regional teams for a page in SURFER, awesome gear, and a trip to Huntington Beach for the National Championships in September. Also up for grabs: $10,000 and the [somewhat diluted] right to say the best surfers come from ____. Check out the full schedule here.
Bruce Irons in FL & PR
I don’t know if I’d call this an “East Cost tour,” but if you live in (or will be visiting) Florida, it would be fun to check out. I wish Bruce Irons would visit New York… maybe this is just the first leg?
