Yawn From Cincinnati Wipes Out!

Cal surf buddy Marguerite made a funny comment regarding HBO’s then new “John From Cincinnati ” while we were walking to the showers at El Porto and found ourselves bombarded with the show’s poster campaign.

The Importance of Being Hawai?i Surf Forecaster Pat Caldwell
2007-08-03 19:29:00 As a surfer living in Hawai ’i, the “surf report” is an essential element to knowing how to plan your life(style)…or at least the week.

Another Surf Movie? Help, Big Kahuna, Help!
2007-05-22 04:51:00 You know, before Gidget came out in the late ’50s, there were supposedly only 5,000 surfers in the world. With that and the beach blanket bingo era to follow, by 1962 it’s been estimated a whopping 100,000 took to the waves. Today how many might there be? Millions? My first bit of interest in surfing came ... More About: Movie , Surf , Surfing , Hawaii , Hawaiian culture

2007-05-18 04:48:00 Though animals of all smells tug at my heart-strings, I am officially one of those cat-people who one day turned into a dog-lover; even the title Coconut Girl being a dedication to my girl dog, who looks absolutely ridiculous running around the beach with a coconut twice the size of her head clutched in her ...

No Bad Kitty: The Secret of Negative Thinking
2007-05-16 21:13:00 I’m housesitting.

Despite the sound of it, I am forever grateful to my friend for making his home ... More About: Kitty , The Secret , Rant , Secret , Think
The Benefits of Food Poisoning?no really!
2007-05-12 04:41:00 The other day, this guy mentioned how he’s had food poisoning twice in his life and how awful it was.

If the Dalai Lama Was a Surfer?
2007-04-27 09:04:00 No matter how peace and love one wants to be, or wants others to be, sometimes we fall prey to our immediate reactions and needs, where even the telling of the story shows my own inability towards benevolence. The Zen of surfing makes all of our experiences out there relatable and symbolic on land. Today’s ... More About: Surfing , Hawaii , Rant , Dalai Lama , Surfer
Quit Smoking! Me?
2007-04-26 00:11:00 by Ms. Reef Rash I remember when I started smoking cigarettes. It was 1977 and I was in the 4th grade.

Upcoming Events - Hilo, Hawaii to Los Angeles, California
2007-04-21 04:30:00 Those who only read our feed don’t see the other pages on the CGW site, including the “Events ” section, and since the first two listed here include both of my sisters (both this weekend!) and the third one is a good friend’s, I thought it required a broader mention.

Surf Session: The Song in Your Head
2007-04-07 01:57:00 When the waves are going off, like really going off, I always have the same song in my head. It’s not a song I ever, ever listen to or sing while on land. Actually, I don’t really know the words. It’s more like playing air guitar. I’m paddling out, huge waves slamming me. Then out ... More About: Surf , Song , Your , Head , Sion

Britney Spears Has Already Grown Her Hair Out!
2007-03-27 06:39:00 I have always had this weird fascination with how quickly celebrities could grow their hair out.
