Sooo, let’s see. I posted on Monday about surfing, and on Tuesday threw up a video that included sharks. It only makes sense that Thursday has a video about shark surfing, no?

REVIEW: Hobie Horizontal Rod Holder

It’s been waaaaaaaay too long since I’ve handed out a ten dick salute to someone. Today Jackson Tyler Dempsey gets his name etched in stone with other such notables as Joseph Condorelli, David J. Pfahler, parking enforcement officers and Michael J. Vandeman.

Heimo’s Arctic Refuge

Damn. Heimo is cut from the same (seriously high denier) cloth as Dick Proenneke. Love the kid at 18:50 holding the spinning setup upside down. And gas powered laptop? WHAT?

More Fly Rod Building

Welp, got ‘er shimmed up with masking tape and got the cork epoxied on.

And have started the wraps. As Chris is a huge Portland Timbers fan trying to do a similar theme/color scheme on the rod. Green and yellow are tough, too much of the yellow and you start to push Oregon Ducks
