Adrenalin: what
sports are all about.
Just
a local girl - for now
July
3rd '09:
I
have come across a story about a local surfer that I feel warrants
posting a feature about her. Her name is Keenan Reeser from Avila
Beach.
She's a 17 years old and has only been surfing for three years, (they
say).
Anyhow, in the last year or so, she has travelled up and down the coast
entering amateur women's surf contest and has managed to win the
Western Surfing Association Open Woman's Championship.
I
get a kick out of the fact that in a surf contest in Morro Bay, there
wasn't any other girls to show up so they put her in with the junior
boys where she made it through a few heats and ended up in the finals
where she got second place.
A
local surfboard sharper Shane Stoneman and Central Coast Fiberglass has
stepped up to supply her with a quiver. Esteem Surf Company and Creo
Haircare products has stepped up to sponsor the young talented girl
too. I guess she doesn't have to worry about hair care products and her
parents don't have to fork out so much money for cloths and wet-suits
either.
I
Googled her name in an effort to find an image of her surfing, but her
Facebook is set to private and her new web-site is just one image.
However I did send her a friends request along with the request for a
couple images of her to post on this Adrenalin page.
Like me she likes to surf in warmer water, and I also had to join the
"I Hate Stupid People" group on FaceBook that she belongs to.
Way to go girl, I'm proud of you.
Koodos to Tim Thomas,
For being his own man.
And smart enough not to play into the self promotion of a criminal named Barak Obama. Who in hell in their right mind would even want to shake hands with a guy who has extinguished the private inventors. Maybe Thomas actually cares and realizes that a president inviting celebrities to the white house is what some people would call self promotion.
Let's just hope some of the winners of the Super bowl are their own man too.
On the
Michael Phelps apology
What
is this world coming to when full grown man has to show up on my TV and
apologises for smoking some pot. Hell, they guy who took the picture
and sold it is the one who should be apologising.
Now the
cops in South Carolina are harassing people who where at the party
where the bong hit took place. The bullies with badges are arresting
people as they seek to make a case against the gold mentalist.
A
couple lawyers who represent a person who was arrested with the use of
a search warrant have been accused of having a small amount of
marijuana. They said the questions asked by the cops were not about
where they got
the pot or who sold it to them, but mostly Michael Phelps.
Boy, those cops need to get a life.
And Michael Phelps doesn't need to apologize to anyone.
But you've got to admit, he was pretty stupid to do such a thing at a
public gathering.
(Kinna
reminds me about the Red Tomato snowboarder dude, after the Olympic
games.)Feb.13,
'09
(Update
- July 6,'09: Looks as though Subway doesn't care if Michael Phelps is
a pot smoker. I get a kick out of the song that is being played during
the commercial. )
On
Sept. 7, '08: A local guy in Lompoc named Kyle was lucky enough to see
a shark cruzing around him. He decided to see if the shark would like
his new Proton and cramed it into the mouth.
I'm sure the surfers don't want any more bodies in
the water in north Santa Barbara county, but the sharks wouldn't mind
if you paid them a visit.
Must have been a pretty big Great White
May
5th'08: It's getting kinna sharky out there.
I happen to think that it has a lot to do with these shark tours where
they take divers on boat trips to swim among sharks. Surfers in south
Australia are getting a little pissed off about these tours because the
tour boats toss over feed to attract the sharks and now sharks are
starting to identify humans as a source where food comes from.
I've got these two links to BBC which
covers a fatal shark attack in the nice little town of Ballina Australia where Peter Edmonds
16, was killed by a shark. (I visited the nice small town Ballina a couple times.
It's a beautiful
place.)
Pro surfer Jodie Cooper of Australia got bit on
the hand by about a five foot long shark as she was paddling at Golden Beach. She compared it to a
dog bite and can't wait until she can go back out.
September
25th, 2010:
One of the things I'd like to mention. The two page article in the
surfing magazine about what a surfer's personal inspection to how clean
the beaches are down in the Gulf coast. It said basically if it isn't
smack dab in front of some major motel, it just reeks from the smell of
oil. There's not much you can do when you can't see the oil
patties burred under the sand.
As I've wrote under my Environmental column,
I happen to think the use of chemical dispersant is the wrong
way to go about it. I can't help but
wonder
just how many oil spills
actually happen and nobody is even informed about it. I happen to think
that the patties people find are a result of the oil companies trying
to make the oil sick so that their problems will go away. But then we
sit back and wonder why our coral reefs are dying off Florida. I'd say
it was the damn oil fumes that
were drifting under the surface of the water instead of on top of it
where we have a chance of at least cleaning it up.
And
that the hell has a defence contractor such as Halabertion got doing
not only ripping off are government but in the oil rig business too?
Shit, I can't believe. Folks, I think we are just to stupid to be even
trying to drill oil at such depths. That shit is scary.
Now on to part too.
I realize that there are some kind of natural tar pits down by Santa
Barbara, but I've run across this tar shit before down a Studios.

And if you come to the beach,
PLEASE do not feed the seagulls,
they ended up shitting all over the rocks I'd like to sit on.
And seagulls are dirty creatures;
feeding them will only cause them to fly around dropping lice on people
below.
It's funny how this web-page is right up there with Book Excerpts as far as the number of visits. That means I better put some work into it.
First off, I'm not really into ball sports. Like when the Chargers lost their chance at the play-offs, I thought it was great because I was already tired of all the news coverage on them. It's kinna silly how people think of them as their heroes. I'd just assume watch golfing if it wasn't for all the car commercials.
If I watch football, it doesn't matter who is playing who. It's just a game on TV.
Basketball and Baseball just bore me.
However, I'm a extreme sports fan.
I dig skateboarding, snowboarding and MX Bikes. Moto-cross and Freestyle moto-cross is just sick.
And now snow sking in a bowl. It's fast and they sure can get air easy.
If you are thinking of taking up surfing because of something I may have wrote here. Please don't, it's too dangerous with all the sharks and things.
There are plenty of surfers already and they don't need another.

Sharky Waters
I didn't even see this warning the day it was sited, but I felt that the conditions did look sharky the same day just a few miles south at the Rock.
I took this picture the day after.

Sunnyside
There yah go
Something tells me that she didn't
even surf that board in the move.
I read about
Cameron and Kelly going golfing and stuff in Hawaii
I have a
feeling that Kelly just about wanted to throw that plank into the
nearest bon-fire.
Yeah, no
sh__. He can even keep a short board going in that small slop.
