Day of Days

The surf popped. And when it popped it really popped.  Last Thursday at Maverick's was a day that left many saying it was one of the best ever. There is glory to behold, whether it be folks pulling together amazing drops or getting demolished from the lip. Below is some footage put together by Surfing Magazine, I am more than certain we will be seeing more great footage of that day.

The warmest 14 years in the recent history of the Earth have occurred in the 21st century. We're talking about 14 of 15 years here! Considering the ocean holds about 93% of that heat, we should be paying attention. We're working on some more articles, but see below for a good summary from Carbon Brief.

Finally, we've been building gorgeous new WaveClock's up for you and your friends to track this El Nino real-time! Big deal? I think so. Yesterday morning, I watched my WaveClock pop up 4 ft above the predicted swell to 10 ft.  I was able to surf about 45 minutes alone while most people stayed home not knowing about this little unpredicted bump!
Day of Days at Maverick's
Last Thursday was ON! And it was on big. One of the best days in Maverick's for most of the folks surfing. Unfortunately, the Super Bowl in the Bay Area kept us from seeing a contest!  But check out some great footage from Surfing Magazine.
Best-selling Boards 
The top selling surfboards every year is a great browse and 2015 is no exception. Wider tails and quad setups are definitely prominent. Good all purpose boards that make sense when you're putting down near $1000 these days.  Stab Magazine has a great summary! 
Where is all the Heat!
Unfortunately the heat is NOT in the kitchen, it's in the ocean. Why unfortunate? Because it has the most potential to stick around and affect the climate. A great summary at Carbon Brief will help educate all of us on this important relationship!
