Planing Totem. The Planing Totems are a family of surfboards that begin with the paipo board of Oceana and Hawaii, along with the ancient Hawaiian alaia.
These boards were shorter than the olo boards of Hawaiian royalty, and were used by the commoners of Hawaiian society. Through tests conducted on paipo inspired “plate” models, in Pearl Harbor, in the 1940's, Naval architect Lindsay Lord quantified planing data from these models that he published under the title, “The Naval Architecture of Planing Hulls” in 1946. Simmons used information from Lord’s book when designing his hydrodynamic planing hulls, essentially merging western science with ancient Hawaiian knowledge.
After Simmons’ death in 1954, elements of his planing hull design were reborn through designs like the Mirandon Twin Pin and the Steve Lis fish. Burch’s hyper-creative surfing on this simple planing board is a dynamic demonstration of how the surf/skate style ultimately has its roots in the paipo and alaia boards of ancient Hawaii. Chroniques indonésiennes (1/2) J'avais écrit ce qui suit en revenant d'un trip en Indonésie l'été dernier, voilà pourquoi il n'est pas question ici du tsunami.
Avant propos : A l’attention des surfeurs voyageurs qui s’apprêtent à lire ce qui suit. J’ai écrit ce texte afin de partager mon expérience en Indonésie et non pas pour faire de la pub aux spots sur lesquels je me suis rendu. Il ne s’agit pas de « secret spots », car on peut les trouver en suivant les indications données dans n’importe quel bon guide de surf sur l’Indonésie, je les qualifierais plus de « discret spots ».
En effet, ils sont généralement assez difficiles d’accès ce qui fait qu’on y trouve généralement peu de monde et que l’ambiance y est bonne. Voilà pourquoi, afin de préserver ces petits îlots de tranquillité, je me suis refusé à donner les noms des spots et les moyens de les atteindre. Fuite : Plus que jamais, ce départ ressemble à une fuite. SPOT CHECK: PONTA DO OURO. "That's an amazing lineup shot of Ponta, absolutely perfect and just the way it should be.

Photo: Lowe-White One of our recent issues addressed the tensions present in the surf world’s ever-expanding lineups.

Random adventures into the unknown – Sumatra & Telos islands. Posted in: Adventure, Surf, Travel I had been in Indonesia for 2 months all ready and you could tell.
Upon first glance, I looked like your average, well weathered, tanned and possibly malnourished, surf bum. However, the reef, numerous bike wrecks and various aggressive insects had taken their toll on me. It looked like a starry eyed, 6 year old had bandaged my wounds. In the 2 months I had been in Indo, I had danced on tables in Kuta, surfed waves that would make most people cringe, wrecked a motorbike (twice), drank strange “milkshakes” on the Gili Islands and climbed into the crater of a very active volcano.
Indonesia is located in Southeast Asia/Oceania and is comprised of 13,466 islands. Now here I was two months later, bruised and beaten from the unforgiving islands.
