Roxy San Onofre Classic (c2000)
The two-day event held at Old Man's on October 5 and 6 was quite a surprise. First of all, there were waves. Second of all, it was a beautiful weekend. Even better, there were so many competitors! Both days filled the beaches with 115 competitors each day - not to mention the lookeyloos wanting to know what all the ruckus was about. The beach looked like it was peppered with ants from the competitive lineup. I never expected to see so many menehunes attack the surf with such


BLUE CRUSH + 100 FT Wednesday
BLUE CRUSH Directed by John Stockwell Well, I saw it. And I'm glad that I did, but I brought a guy along, and he was embarrassed to tell his friends afterwards. I also brought my fourteen-year-old cousin, who doesn't surf, and she seemed psyched about the new "cool" girl flick.

BRIEF/STORY SNOWBOARDING
Part One. It's a winter day in Michigan, Christmas, 1965. Sherman Poppen remembers, "My wife was pregnant and told me I had to do something to get my two daughters out of the house or she was going to go crazy. When I looked at that hill, I thought why not?" Having previously watched his daughter's frustrated efforts to stand up on their sleds, Poppen hit the workshop. He bolted two skis together, attached a rope to the nose and a leather strap to fit over the rider's shoes.


Zine Scene | DIY Guide
Once upon a time in a land far, far away there was a girl who scribbled angry yet incredibly witty passages in her school notebooks. Her friends also made angry scribblings and occasionally drew comics. The girls would furtively compare these rantings, amidst much cackling, in the back row of their Senior Psychology class. But that's as far as it went because they didn't have a book like Zine Scene. All right, I'll admit it: the girl was me, and her friends were my friends, a


Heart of the Sea | Kapolioka'ehukai
Heart of the Sea is a documentary about Hawai’ian legend Rell "Kapolioka'ehukai" Sunn who died in January 1998 of breast cancer at the age of 47.

Named one of Hawaii's most influential women by ABC, Sunn - whose Hawai’ian name means "Heart of the S
