Official E-picture Thread

[Duck]

Callin' all fellow Glide.commies!!

Here it is, the "OFFICIAL E-PICTURE THREAD"!! Did ya have a good sess lately? Well, we wanna share it with ya, so post those pics ifn' ya got 'em!! Or how about your quiver, family, surf transport, etc!! Here's my pic for what hopefully will be a weekly/monthly ritual! It's a shot looking west after an eight hour surf marathon. I took the shot as we hoisted the anchor and started heading east....the waves that day were in the head high range with a few bigger sets....as the day wound down the swell decreased slightly and became a little more inconsistent...which was Okay, cause it was just the three of us and the two people that are barely visible in the photo to the right. All and all, a fitting end to an absolutely glorious surf session.

Nice pics... Can't wait for more. My supply is limited but here is one of me and a local taken by my teenage daughter around Christmass time 1999. I see this guy all most every day. In fact I surfed with him and his family just this mornin'. They're all really good... major arials... WOOSH!!!!! Enjoy the ride...:up:

*Looks at Bud's picture...begins to cry :cry:*

Now that I've been thoroughly depressed...let me get back to work.

Seriously though sweet pic Bud

[Bud]

Glad you guys enjoyed the pic; Like most folks, I gawk at awesome professional photos, but I always dig seeing "regular surfers" shots too (as in the contributions here). Here's another, taken with a disposable camera. Nice morning session at Pipe a few months ago.

I love it - after the May trip to Hawaii hope to have a great shot of me wiping out or making the grade - heck, all these photos makes me want to share some of my SoCal adventures.

Thanks for the stoke!

Taken by my daughter on a small day during my "try the leash on the front leg" phase... Enjoy the ride...

Is that your Trestles Special that your ridin'?


Duck

[Lucky Doug]

Naw, that was pre T.S. It's the HP-1 That's no B.S. 4 ur 411. I pulled the T.S. out of the bag this afternoon just to see it gleam. She lookes so fine... Been makin' time with my new sweetie, the 9-10 D.B. Today we worked on throwin' 'er repetedly into full speed bottom turns. Oh Baby!!!!! One a these days I'll tire of the new girl and spend some quality time with that special someone. but for now I just can't get enough of that cute little pintail. Enjoy the ride. You know I will.

[Lucky Doug]

Yo Duck, here's Greg and I on 9-4 T.S.s (the one I sent back).:down:

[Lucky Doug]

Quiver shot... Top to bottom: 9-2 Harbour HP-1, 9-4 Harbour Trestle Special (cloned off of a 10 year old board), 10-0 Surftech Woody Jeff Clark Model Gun (serial number 007), 9-10 Dick Brewer 5-stringer Pintail. Soon to come (the blank is in) an 8-4 Brian Bulkley 3-stinger retro gun kinda thing. I gave 'im a picture out of a Long Board Mag. of a board Mike Diffendorfer shaped for a builder in France. Brian seems enthusiastic about shaping something other than the normal fare and I'm really curious to see what he'll come up with. People that know him tell me that guns are his strong suit so I'm sure whatever it is, it'll rock.

[Duck]

That you had an HP-1?? And that DB does look like it would be really fun to ride. I thought about a quiver shot myself, will need plenty of space for that one.....gotta get me a digital camera. Why don't you bring the needle up north and give it a spin??

[Lucky Doug]

When you get the cam' do 1 board at a time like episodes of a series. "Tune in next week for Duck's '61 Velzy" Where's my popcorn? :laugh:

[SoupMonKey]

DC awesome shots - gotta salivate over your quiver shot!

Just wanted to add this shots are keeping me stoked if not wet and I really appreciate them - thanks guys!

[piercer]

Gotta represent for the girlies
A friend took this of me last month.Somewhere on the south shore of Maui. (If the pic comes up)

[Lucky Doug]

Thanks for the kind words. You know who's sandbaggin' is ol' Duckster. Quiver is not a strong enough term. Dude's got the arsnel. He keeps 'em in the biggest room in his house... no furniture in there...just boards. Help put the pressure on 'im ta post a few glimpses of "Plastic Paradise". I hear he's got some surf shots in the lab as we type. Guess I'll have to wait n see. Duck, I hope I'm not embarassin' ya Bro. Enjoy the ride...

[enina]

here's one of the spots i surf fairly regularly.

[groovn]

Ohhhhhhhh...... that pic makes me ever so jealous. Cold water or not, I'd love to be back on the Isle. Is that the southwest coast? Reminds me of a small coastal town I stayed several years back south of the Dingle peninsula...

Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

But fun nonetheless, during those cold New England winter days.

[Duck]

Most awesome!!! That is one sweet looking wave!! And the extra plus is the gorgeous scenery! :up: Is that a rare occurence or do you see swell/waves like that all the time??? Might have to change my travel plans at the end of this year....what's it like in Nov/Dec 'round your neck 'o da woods

Keep 'em coming!!

The picture i posted is of the wave off the sandbar in Inchydony (S.W. coast, not too far from Clonakilty in Cork) it doesn't always get so good but the sandbar can hold some sweet waves as ye all saw. (and it picks up almost any little bit of swell thats going) In the last month or so there's been about four days when it was that good and a fair few others when it was smaller but oh so clean...... (it's been an unusually good month for surf)

this picture is of the other side of the same beach (not the greatest picture but pretty none the less)
