About surfing:

Salt Creek is my all time favorite. I surfed there with Tom Curren, Hans Heideman, Mike Cruickshank, Kevin Billy, GT, Laird...

I grew up in the South Bay and I like fast shorebreak barrels. Huntington Beach is a great break from the river up to the cliffs.

If you like mushy surf then San O and Trestles are fun.

You can look on Surfline and see what is breaking. All of the piers are fun and usually have parking.


Cheers,
Mo

Nice. I like all kinds of waves; anything from mushy knee-slappers to punchy 6-8 foot surf. Steep, fast chest to head high point breaks are my fav (and everyone else's...). I was in absolute heaven when I showed up at Pavones down in Costa Rica :). I like picking the right board for the conditions, anything from my home built 5'10" twin fin fish (my all-time fav) up to my 9'6" log. They each shine in a different kind of wave, and they're all fun in their own ways.

I don't surf as much as I used to... My ocean time these days is mostly spent fishing from my kayak.

My brother golfs with brad gerlach. And surfed with him a few times. My cousin is sponsored by quicksilver

I'm more with 54th street and the wedge on the peninsula. Haven't been to Trestles in years
since we used to have to hop the fence and get chased away by feds. Surfed salt creek once when I used to live up CV from there. I was more of a skater / bmx-er. Grew up with alot of the pro skaters and bmx-ers too.

I didn't know they made boat parts. Just thought they did clothing, boards, and sponsors events. I guess they are like Ron Jon now. With their foot in the door with everything.

I heard that aspirin makes them root faster.

The store-bought bagged veggie compost is probably the culprit for the soil issues.

This stuff:

I believe you are mistaken . Quiksilver is a surf company that's been around for almost 50 years. Founded by Andy Mooney. The company went public decades ago. Its publicaly traded on the nasdaq.

edit:

quicksilver clothing and quicksilver brand are 2 different companies that have nothing to do with each other. Fyi Kevin bacon was in a movie called quicksilver in the 80's

Jeff Hackman was a big part of Quicksilver. My Father was surfing buddies with Hakman.

Jeff had borrowed a pair of Quiksilver trunks the previous year and loved their feel. He convinced Quiksilver boss Alan Green to award him the U.S. license, and along with partner Bob McKnight, Hakman launched the line in the states. It started small, with the two making things up as they went along, but in no time the company was an industry giant. Unfortunately, Hakman wouldn't be around to enjoy it.

He had dabbled in drugs since his teenage years, first pot, then LSD, even engaging in a few unsuccessful smuggling attempts. However, none had the power to rule him like heroin. As Hakman's business venture was booming, his habit got the better of him, leading him to sell off his interest in the company for drug money. Eventually, he was ousted from Quiksilver completely, at which time he moved to Australia's Gold Coast to lead a struggling but happy existence with girlfriend Cherie Radcliffe. Through the mid-80s, he surfed in local legends events, worked for good friend Paul Neilson behind the counter at one of his shops, and labored to support his young son Ryan, born in 1982.

A respite came in 1984, when Hakman joined Harry Hodge and others in launching Quiksilver Europe. The enterprise was a smashing success, but Jeff's heroin binges came close to ruining his stake. Fortunately, his friends stepped in and got him into rehab in '88, at which time he finally gained control of his situation. He and Cherie married the same year and had a daughter, Lea, in '93. The Hakmans left Europe and ended up settling on Kauai, just above Hanalei Bay. Financially independent since Quiksilver USA purchased the European license from his associates in 1986, Jeff maintains a marketing role with the company. Free of the destructive forces that nearly killed him, his priorities of family, friends and surfing -- the same factors that shaped his life -- are back in order.

Cheers,
Mo

Surf spot names are pretty funny - Shit Pipes, RAT beach, Burnouts, The Horseshoe, Gravels, Cliffs, Blacks, Hole in the Fence, Quarters beach. From my mom's day - Tin Can beach.

I was surprised when I saw how close all of the different breaks on the North Shore were to Pipeline. I guess when you have a reef break you can name all of the different breaks.

Sandbar breaks are different every day.

Quiksilver is diff from Quiksilver Marine lol. I wonder. I know here in the us quicksilver marine does all the parts for mercury motors. In japan its just mercury parts. could be a connection between them. But yes they are 2 diff companies after a little research. when i go open the shop ill call our rep and ask if there is any connection.
