Photo Contest and H.O.S. Event May 2nd & 3rd

For more great art from Ron, check out his website, awefoto.com

It's a down month for events, but the weather is warming, and May 3rd and 4th is our next H.O.S. gathering. Look for the big White Rig, and the H.O.S. Mobile Office near 4 doors, in San-O.

Should be a fun one, some of us are camping at San Mateo, Sat. night.

Todd's bringing some grub, but bring something along to share if you like...hopefully we'll be initiating the new grill.

KILLER SALE PRICES AT THE SHOP! STOP IN FOR A GREAT DEAL ON BOOTIES, SANDALS, ETC...STUFF'S GOING FAST THOUGH. And as always, boards are a pleasure to view.

It's time for the first Surf Photo contest.

Two contests.

1. Contest 1 is of the best surf shot, judged on the surfing action, not photo quality, this can be a wipeout, tube, turn, or vibe....submit your photos to tdsurf@juno.com, I'll post for voting.

2. Contest 2 is for photo, artistic quality. This photo can be of anything surf related; waves, piers, oceans, surfers, shapers, boards, etc....it should be judged for photo quality, artistic value, entertainment, etc.

Once again, send photo's in smaller format, not too big so I can post easy, to tdsurf@juno.com

As soon as I get 6-10 pics in each category, I'll post for voting. This is an on-line event, with the possibility of no award (or maybe a little something)...just for fun, to see some surf related photography.

It's simple, send me a pic, I'll post them all, we vote, send me your favorite choice, and I'll post the winners.

If you're a pro, great, I'll post your website along with your picture, so you're a winner either way!

Harbour Owner Society at San O...

Bobby J with Nadine...the San O experience...gotta' love it.

Another Harbour Owner Society event unfolded the weekend of March 1st, and as could be expected, the formula for success produced winning results once again; Quality people + Great attitudes = Stoked!

Most the team pulled in Saturday morning ready for dawn patrol. TDRevolver brought a new addition to the Harbour Family, the "Millenium Falcon", as Han Solo would say, "She may not look fast, and she's not, but, this pile a bolts will sure house a mean H.O.S. meeting."


Todd's Big White Rig, the Millenium Falcon, John's Surfing Chevy, Steve's V.W. van, and WoodinSea's mint condition paneled wagon, made for the perfect San O backdrop as we headed into the surf.

Bobby J finished his coffee, Lia fired up the camera, and the morning session began.

The swell was coming in nicely, with often plentiful wave sets of chest high plus. With waves for everyone, nobody was complaining and the day got off to a great start.

Later, John's smile told the tale, after a morning of many more waves, like the one above and better.

Ry was stoked to be riding the great deal he found up North; it just took a little drive time, a little patch, gloss, and polish time, and he's got himself a sweeeeet little Classic. He really made the board shine, from the board stand, to the water.

After the multiple wave sets, wearied riders like Mark (above) began to make their way to home base, for nourishment.

Of course, it was a good twenty minutes, after the last guy pulled off his suit and sat down for a snack...

when Todd finally came in.

in his own "San O" style.

Despite the sagging arms and shoulders, Todd fired up what would be the last Bbq for that grill, and soon we were dining on steak, burgers, and dogs.

The cold wind drove some of us into the H.O.S. office, but soon, the surf we watched through the Falcon's rear window beckoned.

Steve (Lilparadosso), was the first to hear the call, and soon, we were out in the surf once again.

With the wind calming, and the temperatures rising a bit, it was a suprisingly fun session.

The sun's rays breaking through, some nice little peaks, sparse crowds and friendly banter kept us charging till near dark.

Between Steve(Surf4me) calling out, "Walk to the nose!" and Steve (Lilparadosso) yelling, "Don't chase it!", I had plenty of motivation.

With a great first day behind us, myself and others headed for home, but the die-hards, Todd, Bobby J., Lia, and Steve stayed the night for a fun (in the sun this time) Sunday.

Highlights of the trip for me, were of course the great fellowship, and shared stoke of my brother Harbour owners, but also, the stoke of those who passed by, or who we met on the line-up, that, although, maybe not Harbour Owners, shared the stoke, and were very hospitable to our gathering.

I appreciate you all, for great companionship, in and out of the surf.

I know some of us our going to be cooking out, Saturday afternoon, so bring some grub, and a grill if you have one.

Can't wait...maybe somebody will be lucky enough to be riding the new...

Don't forget to check with Todd, about extra H.O.S. gear and/or I.D.'s for discounts, it would be a great time to grab something.

Surfer's Yoga Class

Tired of the rain, but want to get ready to surf when it's gone...

Check out fellow Harbour Owner, Jim's, yoga class.

Surfer’s Yoga

Experience a heightened level of surfing.

Jim Geier has been surfing for more than forty years and has designed a yoga
practice which enables surfers to be calm, balanced, flexible, and centered.
Surfer’s Yoga will increase your water time and enable you to keep surfing
for many years to come.

Surfer’s Yoga was designed to help surfers where they need it most:

• Improve Balance
• Relieve tension in the neck and back
• Loosen up the spine
• Improve overall agility
• Be calm. Increase patience while getting worked, or when waiting
for the next set.

Tune up for your next go out. We offer a pre-surf practice every Tuesday
and Thursday morning from 6:00 to 7:00 am. There is also an extended
post surf session on Sundays from 12:00 noon until 1:30 pm.

Come and loosen up with us.
