tahiti is nice.1

So lets see here. been a while since we’ve been on the blog train. Tanner, Dane and Myself made the venture over to the azores. Possibly one of the most beautiful islands in the atlantic, yet in the middle of summer she was victim to no waves. and i mean NO waves. We wrestled two days of wiggles and the rest were chalked to bronzing, hiking, swimming in natural springs, and utilizing the hotel sauna, steam room, and yoga room. Needless to say, a great week off.

From there tanner and I made the trip home and jumped straight into a flight to Tahiti, for Teahopu pro. Dane made a secret stealth somewhere down south with Dylan Graves, and the stage was set for pits and good times. Since we’ve arrived here in tahiti it’s been nothing but good vibes. We flew in with the barrel wizard Damien Hobgood, Photog and small watercraft master- Jeff Flindt, nasty nate, tanner and myself. The troops were assembled for vision. Steep, deep, and complete! BOOM!


The first day we had some fun little surf, nothing too crazy just 3 to 4 foot nug fest all day. A few of the trialist remained around the island, but most had fled the scene after getting drain piped. Alejandro moreda was here at the house, so it was good to catch up with him on the stories of the boys charging, flairing, and sharing.

Since then we’ve been scoring little mysto pits in between tons of diving, scrabbling, fishing, and cave diving. The crew here at the house is a big one, but filled with all sorts of good times. We’ve got last years champion Bobby Martinez with his friend from home Manny Ramirez. These two are legendary, they froth super hard on boxing and have inspired the boys with their passion for it (I watched my first complete boxing match- Castello vs Diego something.. supposedly one of the best fights of the century).. Boys were stoked! Then we have CJ and Damo, both champs, both legends, and basically the camp councilor and leaders of the tribe. All three of these goofy footers have been showing the rookies how steep and deep one can get without getting pitched, boooooya!

On the rookie train we have Myself, Simpo, Tanner, Nate, Dunny, Blake THornton. The boys are stoked. There’s also a crew of photogs including jeff flindt, tim jones, and peter Joli. There’s always something going on around the place, rarely a dull moment, and always laughter erupting from one corner or another of the palace on the water. For now, i’m leaving you with a few images from Jeff Flindt and Tim jones, but forecast looks like there’s some activity… let’s hope for steep, deep, and complete!!! Check back for some water footage of our cave dives and waterfall experiences from this slice of paradise. Yehaw!

What lies beneath… at sano?!0

Me my Shark and I from Chuck Patterson on Vimeo.

Well, the video pretty much explains itself. Nate showed us some images captured by stand up paddler Chuck Patterson outside Sano powerplants. I guess all those sessions we scored lowers with no one out, we weren’t actually alone! Yikes!

Dear Miranda Kerr, It’s me Tanner.2

In my dreams Miranda Kerr and me have been dating seriously for about two years. We met in passing at a coffee shop and hit it off. After a month more of off and on dating, here we are now. Still in love.

Tanner: ” Hey M, what do you wanna do today?”

Ms Kerr: “I was thinking of trying out your new K whip, and you can rip on that Proton you’ve been riding.”

Tanner: “I love you so much, yeah that proton is really good on frontside carves. thanks..”

Ms. Kerr: ” Do you care if I get pressure dents in your new K whip? I wanna get those airs down, I’m sooo close!”

Tanner: ” Oh I know! Keep leaning forward at the end. Pressure dents? more like love lumps and bumps!”

This is insight to our conversations everyday. I am talking “on the reg”. I never felt that I would feel so strongly about a super model who wears Victoria Secret underwear for the whole world. But at the end of the day, when we are laughing about trivial things, and popping popcorn in anticipation for the movie that we rented from NETFLIX, probably Gladiator (both of our favorites) I know its true love.

Checking in with the boss…dave “nelly” nelson.0

Nelly is the boss. Or JUST boss. In the way that the word was used in the 80’s. Complete unrefrained reckless stallionism. Stallionism in the dictionary I guess has a picture of Nelly. The webster’s dictionary…not the other one.

But anyways it has been awhile since we had last chatted with NELLY and I was astounded at his voicemail. Imagine, out of the blue to Tahoe stallion calls. Only Nelly does this. Only Nelly.

Checking in with NELLY! from Tanner Gudauskas on Vimeo.

BOOM! Nelly was making Magic in Bali for the last month. Him and E.G got KOO KOO for coco puffs on this stalefish blaster. Gut busting fisheye!

right here we see Nelly changing his diet for a more healthy option! GOOD ON YA NELLY! Chocolate bars for bananas!!!

Virginia is for lovers…0

Armed with only a pair of trunks, a t shirt and a pair of Astrodeck sweatpants, I joined the VANS team of Joel tudor, tony trujillo, johnny Layton and Shea Lopez for a little promo at Coastal Edge surfshop. The turnout was big. People screamed and screamed and sweat and screamed and fainted for free shwag. the temp was 105 unofficially. Imagine the heat inside my sweatpants, maybe that’s way I didn’t find love in Virginia Beach. –DANE
