Timex Expedition WS4: Big Size, Big Features
I’ve owned a Suunto Observer for years, a gift from the wife and I love it. With it I can tell which direction I’m headed, altitude, barometric pressure, temperature and of course the [...]

Alaia Surfboard Project- Post 8 (Finis)
I've finished oiling the Alaia and all that's left to do now is ride the thing. I had a lot of fun building the Alaia and meeting others out there doing the same all over the world. [...]

Alaia Surfboard Project – Post 5
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case I think the words better do the talking because it's difficult to capture the progress made with the concave in a photo. [...]
Alaia Surfboard Project – Post 4
I've begun sanding the concave, but it's hard to tell in pictures so I'll do that in the next update. I started with the belt sander and formed the shallow 'V' in the center of the board. [...]
Alaia Surfboard Project – Post 3
Significant progress this weekend with the Alaia project. I cut the board to shape with a jigsaw, working in one direction. I said in the previous post that I wouldn't cut the Stuth tail, but I had a change of heart. [...]
Alaia Surfboard Project – Post 2
It's been hectic since I received the Alaia blank, but I plan to start on it in earnest this weekend and think I have a plan of attack (thanks in large part to Jon Wegner's suggestions via email). [...]
Alaia Surfboard Project – Post 1
In an attempt to experience a spiritual awakening like an ancient Hawaii commoner, I decided to try and build and surf a wooden Alaia surfboard (OK, well at least build one). Traditionally a 10-12 foot fin-less board that in ancient times were made from Ula and Koa trees, my Alaia will be about 7 feet [...]

Balance Trainers
With temperatures well below freezing and finding myself miles away from any mountains, I’ve decided to post another indoor, off-season workout entry. For Surfing there isn’t an [...]
Swim & Paddle: Gravity and Wind Resistance Trainers
For years Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley have been selling a machine called the Total Gym, a machine that uses gravity and your body weight to deliver over 80 exercises. It seems to be working [...]
Quiksilver Moondak Watch and TideGraph
Tides don’t affect the breaks I surf all that much, but at my favorite spot, low slack tide (between low tide and when the incoming tide starts) is probably slightly better. That’s all [...]
So, Like Bitness was Hacked
Bitness went on hiatus this Summer, but only we sort of didn’t intend it to last the entire Summer. Bitness was hacked by some crackers who had nothing better to do than waste our time and piss [...]
On My Honor I Will Do My Best…
Life takes hold and just zips by. I turned 40 on the 11th and realize I’m starting to slip. Can someone please tell me what the hell The Hills is and who these plastic people are? I don’t [...]
