Free pass

Posted in About Us, bodyboard, news, pics, surf with tags , , , , on February 9, 2012 by waterwalls

Each time you go surfing at Vouliagmeni, the first thing you face is the challenge to actually get to the beach. Is it going to be through climbing, around the cafe or the long way through the west side. Whatever your choice will be one thing is for sure, you actually think that whoever is behind the locked door and the bars blocking the way, surely hates our surfing guts! That’s what we thought, until recently..

Two guys, with some coast guard officers, came across with me this Tuesday. One was the Manager of the Hellenic Tourism Development Co. He was interesting in the sport, having only good words to say, from the athleticism, to the view that the customers of the cafe enjoy while having a cup of coffee. He was impressed watching people surfing, even more under these conditions.  He wanted to know if there is some kind of union he could refer to, so that we can all (surfers) gain a free pass to the beach.

.
To make a long story short, he gave us his phone number, so anyone who’s interested in getting a free pass, can contact him directly and get it.
He was referring to the entrance at the East side of the beach, from Poseidonos street.
.
The entrance near the cafe will remain closed. Whether is legal or not, good or bad, we are not going to discuss at this post. We just happened to be the ones that spoke to the guy and feel obligated to share with the rest of you. We think it’s a good initiative from their side. We are glad that “they” have become a substance and it’s actually a good one!

… that it was gonna be crap!

With the forecast going purple, i guess it was better than we imagined. You hoped for the best but you got what you expected.. a crappy, huge, full of salty spray day.

Thanx to AndreasTsam photography

Awesome video, maybe one of the best use of slow-mo we’ve seen.

How often to you think about bodyboarding when you hear the word “snap” or “bottom turn”?

Matte Lackey will make you reconsider your answer.

We planned a trip to Morocco almost a month back. We had everything settled, plane tickets, gear, international driver’s license… everything.

So that day came and right now we are in the middle of it… according to the journal that is.. i’ll explain later..

So here are some pictures of our trip..

Noticed anything weird on the pics?

I’m not anywhere!!! And it’s not because i shot the pictures.. i’m not anywhere.. i’m not in Morocco!

I’m sitting on my couch clicking the same gallery as you guys just to take a glimpse of the trip that i was supposed to be a part of as well.

The only “picture” of me i managed to get during that period was the one below, the MRI showing my knee fucked up.

So a W² tip for you: At least a month before a surf trip, stay home put your feet on the couch (especially if you just mopped the floor) or wrap yourself with bubble-wrap just to be sure. And for the love of God.. never attend martial art classes, especially with overweight guys!

Thank you for listening.. or reading in your case

27th of April. There was a spot somewhere in Pelloponisos working almost perfectly.

From 8am till noon, the swell was elbow to shoulder high, offshore wind, glassy conditions and only 5 surfers in the water.

It was as if you were in the ocean. Calm conditions and huge gaps between sets, and i mean huge gaps, you could solve a sudoku puzzle and i don’t mean level 1.

Enjoy the pics, sorry for the retro style, but that session has awaken the soul surfer in me.

From dusk till dawn..

I bet Tarantino wasn’t inspired by waist high surf when thinking of the title to his movie… but, for this post, it sure fits the situation!

It was from Wednesday’s dusk to Thursday’s dawn. The south swell was coming in all night and some early comers enjoyed the best of it this morning. Wasn’t bad, wasn’t perfect.

Nothing really exciting or to be mentioned for this Thursday morning, allthough was a good chance to get some photos for our Photo Contest. Don’t forget, Winner takes all!

Our friend Nikos from the Hidden Cellar was kindly enough to send us the photo, sorry guys, we could have had more pics but..we were too busy surfing.
