Es una cadena de hamburgueserias que están que te cagas. Un poquito más “sano” que el McDonalds y las patatas están muy buenas! ¡Recomendado!!

Nat Young en Steamer Lane
Ayer estuve pasando el dia en Santa Cruz, y tuve la suerte de ver surfear en Steamer Lane a Nat Young. Es actualmente el 6º clasificado en el World Tour y candidato a rookie del año. En Bells perdió la final contra De Souza.
Aqui va una ola que se hizo. Es uno de los mejores backsiders del mundo
I spent the day yesterday in Santa Cruz and I was so lucky to watch surfing Nat Young. He is currently in 6th position in the World tour and candidate to rookie of the year. He lost the final in Bells against De Souza.
There is one of the waves he took, showing that he is one of the best worlds backsiders.

Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz es uno de mis sitios favoritos. Está a unas dos horitas de San Francisco y es una ciudad totalmente volcada en el surf. Digamos que es la capital del surf del norte de Cal. Una ciudad muy tranquila, con muchos surferos de los 80 y bastantes hippies!
Si vas por la calle principal, a parte de inmensas tiendas de surf, te encuentras especímenes de todo tipo, tocando la guitarra, pidiendo pasta….y si vas por el digamos Paseo Marítimo te encuentras un parque de atracciones, con su mini montaña rusa y todo…
Sobretodo durante el invierno, es uno de los mejores sitios para surfear de California y de todo USA. El clima es un poco frio y el agua está congelada. Tiene muchos diferentes spots pero el mas conocido es Steamer Lane, al que dedicaré una sola entrada.
Me mola. me mola, me mola…mucho
Santa Cruz is one my favourite places. Its 2 hours driving from San Francisco and its a city passionate with surfing. Lets say is the surfing capital of the Nor Cal. A really calm city, it has a lot of 80´s surfers and bunch of hippies!
If you walk around the main street you can find huge surf shops and crazy people doing crazy shit, playing guitar, singing, asking for cash….and if you go around the Boardwalk , youll see an amusement park, with the famous roller coaster.
Especially during winter, it is one of the best places to surf in Cal and in the US. The weather is kinda cold and the water is freazing. It has a lot of different spots but the most famous one is The Steamer Lane, that I will write one post only for it.
I fucking like it, yes bitch, yes….

Ride a wave
A traves de Just Add Water, la pelicula de uno de mis surfistas favoritos, Clay Marzo, conocí una ONG que me impactó mucho. Al final de la peli se ve como Clay Marzo, que tiene una enfermedad llamada Sindrome de Asperger, una clase de autismo, surfea con una tabla grande con niños con problemas mentales.
Casualmente hace poco, fui a pasar un finde a Santa Cruz, y me encontré a la ONG haciendo la actividad en la playa. Me quedé impactado. Niños autistas y con problemas mentales eran llevados a surfear con longboard en olas pequeñitas.
La cara con la que salian los niños era para flipar. Contentisimos. En la pelicula al final dicen que niños que en su vida han articulado palabra, al salir del agua han empezado a hablar…. Acojonante
Trough Just Add Water, the movie of one of my favourite surfers, Clay Marzo, I discovered a NPO called Ride a Wave. At the end of the movie you can see as Clay Marzo, who has Aperger Disease, a kind of autism, helps surfing some little kids with mental problems.
I happened to see them in Santa Cruz weeks ago. They were doing an activity with kids at the beach and I was impressed. Kids with autism and mental problems were taken to surf some little waves in longboards and it was awesome,
Just seeing their faces coming out the water was unreal. At the end of that movie they say that some kids that never talked a word, they come out of the water talking….Awesome

See you in the lineup – Greg Kroleski signing out
Hey surfers & fans of SurfScience.com – I have some news that is both exciting & a little sad. After three wonderful years I’m hanging up my SurfScience hat and heading on to new projects.
I have LOVED being a part of this community growing into what it is today and am so appreciative for all of the awesome people that have helped along the way. I’ve gotten a chance to sit down and talk with tons of great folks who’s brains are libraries of surfing know-how. It has been my pleasure to help gather that information and try to present it to all of our online readers.
While at SurfScience I was able to help out in many aspects – from marketing to product design and algorithm planning, but one of my favorite parts was writing articles for all of you. A few of my favorites include:
Indo Board Workouts for Surfers
April Fools 2010 – California Surfbaord Permits
How to Choose the Best Surfboard for Your Waves
I’m excited to see how SurfScience continues to grow and what new projects the rest of the team puts into action. There are a lot of cool ideas in the works!
So, farewell from the digital world, next time I see you will be out in the lineup – catching waves and yew-ing all the way to the shore!
Surf Scientist for Life,

Happy 2nd Birthday Guys!
Yum! Thats the taste of a job well done.
This month marks the 2nd birthday of SurfScience.com. Its hard to believe that just two years ago, our little corner of the surfing-internet didn’t exist.
Where did people go to learn about surfboards?
Who interviewed shapers?
How did people find rating on the boards they wanted to buy?
I’m not sure… but then a few surfers from Orange County had an idea. We would learn everything we could about surfboards and share it with everyone who wanted to listen.
SurfScience.com was born and has been growing like a bean sprout ever since. We’ve had the pleasure of working with some awesome folks from the surfing community throughout the year and have gotten tons of fan mail from our grateful readers.
WE ARE STOKED THAT YOU DIG SURFSCIENCE.COM!!!
So happy birthday to everyone that’s been a part of this ride. I can’t wait to see what our terrible two’s hold in store.

Apple, I Think You Owe Surfing Some $$$ (Also Thanks for Making iOS5)
Most of the time my blog posts are about exciting things in the world of surfing, but today I have a bone to pick. That bone is with Apple Computers, who I feel is a bit out of line.
Let me start by saying, I like Apple. I think they are a great company doing great things and making very cool computers. This post is mostly in jest, but… seriously, there are a TON of surfing pictures on Apple’s website and someone needs to call them out for not having any relation to the sport or culture of surfing.
Background Info: Yesterday Steve Jobs announced a bunch of cool stuff that Apple will be releasing soon including, iCloud, OSX Lion and iOS5. Very exciting things for lots of fan boys everywhere.
While I was checking out their site I noticed a picture of a surfer. Sweet I thought, a surfer.
"Oh sweet, a surfer"
Then as I browsed some more I saw another surfer….
Another surfer, thats strange…
and another….
again, really?
and another….
At Least They Used A Girl This Time
Seriously? I counted about 15 different surfing related pictures in all. (More at the end of this post). This isn’t just a pattern. It seems to me that Apple Computers uses surfers for like 40% of their pictures (maybe a bit less…). I’m pretty sure it was an intentional move from the highest levels.
Using pictures of surfing to sell products is nothing new. Nike, Target and Hollister have been doing it for years. But Apple has been doing pretty well for itself lately…
Apple Stock Prices Look Like Mavericks
The company is currently worth around $300 Billion. You’d think they would at least throw us a little kick back. I’m not saying we deserve 40% of the cash just because you’re using our sport in 40% of your pictures. But at least shell out a few million to build a cool artificial reef or help Kelly Slater fund his wave pool project.
Heck, I wonder if any of Apples 12,000 employees even surf.
Hey Woz, want to spot check Mavs at lunch? Shaka Nar Nar
I guess it is possible. They are pretty close to Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay and The Beach. I bet the one guy from Apple that actually does surf is the one that made it into this iPhone ad.
Sik wave bro
Double over toe!
So here is what I propose. Apple, you owe the sport of surfing a few Mil. I know you have the extra cash sitting around. If you’re going to use the soul of our sport to sell your computers, phones and music players, at least help us out a bit. Steve Jobs, I know you’re a good guy. I think this is an appropriate effort for you to spearhead. (Spaceship offices can wait!)
$1 Million to the Surfrider Foundation – They help keep the water clean and the beaches open
$300K to the Surfing Heritage Foundation – They preserve the history of our sport through photographs, stories & a surfboard exhibit
$250K to fund a surf contest in Santa Curz where only asymmetrical boards are allowed. – They are the future people!
$200K to Kelly Slater’s Wave Company – So they can get the first circular wave pool off the ground
$150K to SurfScience.com – So we can continue developing cool surfboard related science experiements
$100K purse for the most innovative surf invention of 2011 – Shane Dorian got a head start
Sounds pretty good. They are all focused on technology & the environment. Things Apple is concerned with too.
Finally, it wouldn’t be a proper surfing rant without a “stole our soul” reference, so…
For those of you interested, here are the rest of the surfing references on Apple’s website.
Its the one in the center
