Is anything more comedic?
Mike Lucas has been doing an admirable job documenting SoCal swells in the last year or so. Good stuff. Plenty of Wedge footage, snagged all that Seal Beach carnage a few months back. Puts together some clean little edits.
I’ve never been able to fathom the appeal of taking pictures of surfing. Moving or otherwise. Sitting on the beach all day, watching other people have fun. It’s crazy!
Not knocking it. They’re doing god’s work. Definitely ain’t for me.
My favorite thing about him is that he dumps his raw stuff on the web. The header clip is nice, but I really love the 18 minutes of unculled video he shot that day.
Really does a better job of capturing the vibe. Shit show collisions, hoot and hollers, the roar of the surf. The filmer chuckling when people eat shit. Puts you in the moment. Gets you there.
That’s the goal, right?

Between the bit on river trash and then 18 minutes of film with more wake-raft than surf, I’m wondering when the River Grit affiliate will debut?
I guess the good news, Rory, is that you weren’t attempting to sky dive yesterday.
Where’s the story on WSL buying Kelly’s pool?
They are all sleeping, i doubt any of them have seen the news yet.
Just a bunch of idiots trying to break their necks to get on to local news.
They prefer to be called “aspiring pro surfers.” It’s like whores who also do porn wanting to be called “actresses.”
I like reading your stories about your life full of routine gripes Rory. We already have STAB to trawl Instagram and YouTube to re-post shit (this was okay) videos with thoughtless introductions. Your words are valuable and could be used for far more high brow articles. I’d prefer to read a creative writing piece about you fisting Christie Brinkley’s Chartreux to be frank.
It’s true, Rory. Think of your legacy…
I didn’t realize anybody but domke skimmed anymore,huh.
Him and Curren.
Curren has sort of left the skim realm with the s wings and extra float, more a finned paipo.

There is a meme somewhere where the whole Spanish family is getting dumped and there’s just one white guy about to get pitched playing air guitar. Thanks!
