SPOT ON SPOT
A Revisionist Glance At Historic Surf Locales: Lowers
When it's good, it's ridiculous. You'd think that a surf spot that boasts nearly a mile-long walk, a gridlocked crowd situation, and Port-O-Potties with the repulsive reek of neglect, would wane in popularity on a coastline littered with surf breaks. But, as the hundreds who surf Lowers everyday can attest, it's worth it.

BRA BOYS PREMIERE
Documentary Wows Hollywood Crowd
Maroubra and Malibu both start with the letter "M" and call the ocean their front door, but the similarities end there. Maroubra is a working class town that exemplifies the definition of grit. Malibu smells of new money where the long-lensed paparazzi outnumber surf photographers ten to one. Yet, on August 19 the two became sister cities as Koby Abberton and the Bra Boys swarmed upon Malibu's Polaroid Beach House to celebrate the upcoming, much anticipated release of the documentary aptly titled, Bra Boys.
KEEP OUT!: Guns Drawn, Boards Out: Surfers Halt Superferry
After four long hours of sitting idle outside of the mouth of the Nawiliwili Harbor on the outer island of Kauai, the infamous Superferry - an interisland oceangoing vessel equipped to carry 866 people and their respective cars between the islands of Oahu, Kauai, and Maui - sat essentially dead in the water, unable to unload its cargo of interisland passengers amidst the flotilla of surfers forming a human chain across the harbor entrance.
