Loughlin doing his best impersonation of James Dean. DONT DRINK UNDERAGE KIDS, OR LEAST DONT DRINK UNDERAGE WHILE PLAYING WITH GUNS.

Somewhere in San Diego. Ill give you 10 guesses, you won't get it right, trust me. This place breaks once in a blue moon. Makeable? 50% of the time. Far paddle? Mediocre. Heavy? Definately.

Wilbur making an appearance on a Lovers slab after a night of not sleeping.

A cool view of a Lover's wave. If you look close, you'll see 3 guys about to go over the falls.

Get in the wrong position on a Lover's wedge, and you'll know. Most likely you won't stick it, get sucked over, and end up on the beach.

If you have known Wilbur for a long time, then you've known the Sprint. Many of us have come close to certain death in this thing. I have even pushed it across the border with the help of Statom and Wilbur himself. Sadly, the Sprint had to be retired after Mark thought he could get away from a cop by going down a La Jolla one way street, when really he just ended up losing his liscence and the car.

Pismo Pier, barreling. This was the first time I ever went up to Pismo for a surf trip. Definately an interesting adventure. I really like this shot actually.

Don't let it fool you, that wave will make you shit your pants. North of Mexico (I hope that narrows it down for you), this wave is definately a bit crazier than it looks. Wilbur inspecting the goods.

Somehow I timed this shot perfectly. Unknown inverting out of a Cabo bowl.
