Hawaiian South Shore Member of the Month - Erica Ta   When and why did you initially get into surfing? I had only surfed a handful of times before February 2020, so after a surf trip from Hilo to Oahu with my girlfriends that month I had a big crush on surfing and took it seriously. It was good timing to improve my surfing when the pandemic hit – I made use of all that down time to practice surf and get in the water at least every morning.   Did you have a time period you laid off from surfing? Early last year I had to lay off the water completely for a month or so. I went waterfall chasing with friends and my entire big toe nail popped off after my foot slid down a wet mossy rock and clipped another rock at the bottom. I was in so much shock when it happened I couldn’t stop laughing.   What is your favorite thing about surfing? There are too many unmatched, good things to say about surfing, but I wouldn’t love surfing as much as I do without all the fun sessions with friends. Not much beats when everyone’s...

Marcio Zouvi and the Sharp Eye Surfboards   Sharp Eye Surfboards has been a staple of the #surf industry since the late 1980s, when Marcio Zouvi began his shaping career with legendary board builders such as Rusty Priesendorf, Gary Linden, and Al Merrick. Ultimately creating his own line of boards under the Sharp Eye label, Zouvi spent the 1990s and early 2000s leading the charge in refining and innovating high-performance shortboards.   Based in San Diego, California, Sharp Eye lies at the heart of the surf industry and seeks to leverage decades of hard-earned knowledge and experience in building the best and host high-tech performance surfboards on the market. The results of team riders such as Silvana Lima, Tatiana Weston-Webb, Kanoa Igarashi, Ian Gouveia, and current world champion Felipe Toledo speak for themselves.   The team at Sharp Eye has always had an eye for what makes a board perform, and that’s exactly what the modern surfer needs.

Kelly Slater is one of the most influential surfers. This includes not only how we look at competition and high-performance surfing, but also how we look at the modern surfboard.   The Cymatic blends the best elements of the Sci-Fi and the Omni, but also has entirely new elements that thrive on their own merits. One of these is an increase in rocker throughout the board and especially in the tail. This added kick allows for control in larger waves and provides a platform, from which to maneuver. Increased rocker makes a board agile and able to turn on a tight radius. The first edit of Slater shredding his Cymatic demonstrated exactly that. Another thing that is interesting about the Cymatic is that it is definitely not intended as a groveler. It’s a short wide board that excels in real waves, but despite that fact, it does grovel really well! Since the Cymatic holds volume and rail throughout, it’s able to accelerate in small waves. The reduced length also offers the ability to turn your speed into maneuvers. It has been found that going a touch shorter in hollow waves can result in increased speed and control in the barrel. This is likely due to the narrower tail design. Whatever type of...

Slater Designs FRK Shaped by Dan Mann   Kelly Slater has been called a lot of things over the years. Champ. GOAT. The King. And, of course, the Freak. When Kelly Slater approached Dann Mann about designing him a surfboard, Dann knew exactly what he wanted to make Slater—and what it should be called. The FRK is medium-wave performance machine with an aesthetically pleasing outline, medium rails, and a rounded pintail that almost gives the surfboard a quasi twin-tip look. In a word, the board looks fast—and if Slater’s performances on it have been any indication, that’s exactly what it is. The funny thing is, the FRK almost didn’t get ridden. Dann shaped it for Slater in 2015, but Slater gets a lot of boards shaped for him, and the original design ended up sitting in a garage for two years before a friend of Slater’s took it out for a spin. He had a blast on the surfboard, and called Slater up telling him he needed to try the board out. Slater said he knew it was a winner before he even completed his first ride. He started riding the board a ton, putting together mind-blowing performances at Trestles, J-Bay, the...

Brian Zodrow Surfing Journey   When and why did you initially get into surfing? I credit my grandfather for getting me into surfing. As a youth he would take me to Makapu’u where he first taught me to get a feel for the ocean and learn how to bodysurf. As I progressed with that I then got on a board and the rest became history.   Did you have a time period you laid off from surfing? After college, I played volleyball professionally overseas for a number of years and was also a member of the USA Men’s National Team. During that time volleyball was my life and I was out of the country often so my time for surfing became scarce.   What is your favorite thing about surfing? My favorite thing about surfing is the challenges it brings and the connection it forges within. No two waves are the same and the conditions are always changing. You must have the ability to adapt, improvise, and overcome all types of different situations and scenarios. I’m also drawn to the connection you develop with nature while in the water. It’s a unique bond that may surfers can relate to that...

 …Lost’s Puddle Jumper Pro The Puddle Jumper has been a staple of the …Lost quiver for years, while the Puddle Jumper HP adds a little more performance to the classic groveler. Now, the Puddle Jumper Pro goes a step further, lengthening the template of the Puddle Jumper HP, drawing in the nose and tail, and essentially turning the groveler into a user-friendly, football-shaped performance shortboard. Inspired by former World Tour surfer and current …Lost rep Nate Yeomans, the Puddle Jumper Pro maintains the original design’s skatey, fast, down-the-line speed, but packages it in a more traditional shortboard outline that lends itself to high-performance surfing. Solid in the pocket and when laid on rail, the Puddle Jumper Pro thrives in anything from waist-high to overhead waves and helps bridge the gap between “fun” grovelers and modern shortboards. Nate Yeomans on Puddle Jumper Pro Surfboard View this post on Instagram A post shared by ...Lost Surfboards (@lostsurfboards)   If you are looking to up your turn game but don’t want to lose the drive of a small-wave design, or if you are looking for a way to continue ripping into middle age, the Puddle Jumper Pro is the answer.   Available in...

How To Deal With Sciatica and Knee Pain - You Need A Stronger Butt?? As many of you know, I have been struggling with sciatica for a long time. In fact, in a previous post we talked about how rolling and doing deep tissue on sciatica issues is actually not as helpful as many people think and can even be detrimental at times (due to the fact that what feels like muscle pain is actually nerve impingement referring down the buttocks and leg). Unfortunately, my sciatica has been flaring up again recently, and at the same time my old knee injury has been bothering me—to the point where I have been having to use a knee brace again. Interestingly, I actually noticed that my sciatica flared up just before my knee injury started bothering me again, and that made me wonder if the two were related. I did some research and found out that—as many of you probably know—many of our injuries can be due to muscular imbalances in the body. I personally have very weak glutes, and it turns out that weak glutes have been implicated in both sciatica issues and knee issues. Since I have both of those issues—and...
