Jedi Grind Tricks By Scooter Newell I think Rocky Raccoon has finally climbed out of his dumpster, seen the shadow of a sanitation truck, and decided to bail on the hibernation. Winter is over! That was the longest week of winter we’ve have had in years… But that’s okay! In Skateboardland there’s not a lot of room for winter — not even a Florida winter. The visiting U.S. and Canadian tourists laugh at me because I’m usually bundled up in a sweatshirt and beanie... [Read more...]

Boardrider of the Month: Edward “Speedy” Patrick By B. Bennison When going overseas on a surf adventure, there are certain qualities you look for in your chosen travel partner. At the top of any surfer’s list would be the desire to log in numerous hours in the water, that they always smile their way through any situation, however bad.. and the ability to fire a bullet through a quarter at 100 yards. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t on everyone’s list, but it’s certainly... [Read more...]

Boardrider of the Month: Lea Taylor Interview by Scooter Newell Lea Taylor has been skateboarding and surfing since she could crawl. I remember her bomb-dropping little ledges on her skateboard when she was only 3-years-old and doing whatever it took to keep up with the boys at the Skatepark that were three times her age. Today at the Skatepark there are no boys — of any age — who can keep up with her. She whips through the pockets at 100mph and has one of the best “cradle-carves”... [Read more...]

Inshore Fishing Report: November 2011 Capt. Jamie Glasner It’s just about that time of year when we get to stuff our faces with endless amounts of food! With winter closing in on us, our lagoons should start clearing up. On a couple of my last trips the water clarity was getting fairly decent; not gin-clear, but clear enough to where I could see the bottom and see fish. Overall, the October fishing was excellent. The redfish bite was definitely on, both inshore and nearshore. My buddy, Capt.... [Read more...]

Offshore Fishing Report: November 2011 Capt. Scott Bussen Well, it seemed as if it would never arrive and that the stifling heat would never end, but the fall weather has finally made its way into Central Florida! For some people, it’s just a welcome climatological change, but for us fishermen, it’s so much more… Sure, the change in temperature is an awesome bonus, but every fisherman has a favorite reason to await the fall weather pattern. For some, it’s the opportunity... [Read more...]

Late-season tropical activity in the Gulf can bring surf from the north.

Jedi Grind Tricks: November 2011 By Scooter Newell The 6th Annual Slater Brothers Invitational is officially in the books. Benefiting the World Skin Cancer Foundation, the event brought everyone together to raise awareness and funds to battle this widespread disease.

The Cocoa Beach Country Club was decorated with sponsor tents,... [Read more...]
