i have a man crush on RT. he is smart. the song on the video below reminded me of my mind at this moment.

sliders point.

a few more of richard holcombe's from the other day.

i think the photo below shows the sensitivity of my feral pig. the board holds when it needs to , and responds when it needs too. so stoked!!!

another hilber's creation!

daniel sent me this via surfapig@live.com: Hey Mike. I've been following you for a while now and you can say that my latest acquisition is kind of your fault.  After reading your blog and realizing that a pig would probably fit the bill for me more than a noserider in the New England beach break that is my bread and butter, I began contemplating acquiring a pig. I was ordering a board from Brian Hilbers a few months ago and mentioned that I may be tapping him for a pig and he then told me that he had a Golden Girl/Grey Lady already at Pilgirm in Brooklyn.  Long story short, I sold my noserider and bought the board. Pictures are already up on my blog -   but hell, I'm all about sharing. Enjoy. Daniel Mongeon

super clean!

Gian's hand made!

Gian sent me this from Italy via surfapig@live.com: Hi Mike, I'm Gian Maria from Italy. This is my handmade pig. Art graphic by Filippo Garilli. Float Surfboards , mod. LA TRADIZIONE , 9' 5" - 23 3/16 - 3"Stay Wet! Giappa

it's post like these that stoke me BEYOND belief!!!!

sliders point with friends!!!!!!!!

ok, so...to say i have been scoring is obviously an UNDERSTATEMENT. I feel humbled and honored to have the experiences i have.

my van needs some repairs, and this year we've (the Black family)  tightened the belt so to speak. i've been focusing on family and work...stoked as ever on surfing...but it hasn't been my motivating force...family has. however, i am surfing some, working a ton, and soaking up as much family time as possible. every now and again i get to spend some time with friends. today, i met Junko and Toshi from Japan, and spent some time with my buddy Richard Holcombe. 

well, i also spent some time with my good buddy Slider's Point!!!

I love this wave. If i were to travel on a surf trip[, I'd just be chasing this wave. only warmer. today... on the trail down... 30 degrees. 

i was the only one out for an hour.

so STOKED!!!!!!!

how's that empty peeler out the back?

why am i shooting photos instead of surfing? simple, my arms didn't work anymore.

i obviously can't get enough of this shot!!!!!

my buddy richard holcombe is a rad human. he is generous to say the least. he shot a ton of photos today and then just gave me the card out of the camera , simply asking me to return it to him soon. NICE!!!!!!!!!  here are a few of the shots he snapped. I am a robust 40 year old father, husband, math teacher, pig enthusiast, and an avid beer drinker...but feeee-yyyuuuucccckkkk! do i love this wave!!!!!

you have to put your GUT into it!!!

stoked on this sequence! this 10' BING feral pig handles the nose in the curl!!!!!!

richard went up in the bushes for the last few photos!!!!

thank you richard for the photos!!!!!!!!!

the surf that was around the corner

perhaps indicative of this upcoming year.
