Somebody Wants One

We've been asked just about one to many times now if we offer gift certificates and our response is usually "not currently but we're getting around to it"... well we finally got around it. The certificate comes in a die-cut shape of the greatest place on earth and is offered in 3 different prices which all include shipping. So now when a friend says to you hay "I would love a fresh u.b.c. t-shirt, hat, or maybe hoodie for my (birthday, anniversary, valentines day, easter, gradutaion, chanukah, kwanzaa, or christmas present) but I'm just not sure which one" you can go here and buy them a gift certificate, chances are when they get the present from you they'll say something like "geeee wiz this is the best present ever, now I can go pick out exactly what I want."



Because we care about our customers here at United Boarding Culture we wanted to continue list of reasons you could give a friend or loved one a gift certificate, no need to thank us we're here to help.

True Story

Some guy just called me & tried to sell me an Orlando vacation package, he asked what I like to do on vacation I said surf & fish, so then he's tries to tell me how great the surfing & fishing in Orlando is. When I told him I lived on the beach in Florida he said oh well uh oh then there was a moment of silence, then he tried to tell me how great Disney World was that's when I hung up.

Huricane Earl Recap Part 3

Friday we didn't even try to wake up early and didn't bother rushing to the beach because for some reason we all thought the swell peaked yesterday evening. Really wish we had a clue what was gonna happen because I & pretty sure everybody else woulda taken it alot easier the day before & not ran ourselves right into the ground that night. When we pulled up the ground was rumbling and the average wave was well overhead and CLEAN. I grabbed a couple pics and then we made out first attempt out totally underestimating it and getting our ass's handed to us on the paddle out, the clean up sets we're rolling in at a solid 10 foot plus and they just kept coming. We made it to the outside and had a crazy good morning of surfing, wish I coulda stayed out all day but like I said we not knowingly ran ourselves into the ground the day before either way it was a classic Florida hurricane swell & everybody had a blast.

Here's the couple pics I snapped before our session...

Huricane Earl Recap Part 2

Thursday we woke up way to late, eventually we got moving. When we finally made it to Juno to find solid head & clean, so for the first time I can think of since I started this blog I finally took some pictures before I hit the water. So I did my best to get some shot's but unfortunately the telephoto lens broke so I had to make the best of what I had... anyway all morning was good and then around noon the tides changed and it all started getting funky so we went in for lunch... oh yeah so when we got there that morning somebody (we'll keep his name out but it starts with a b) decided to drop one in the dunes. I don't know if it was the coffee or what but he dropped the gnarliest poop and he did it in the dunes right where the truck was parked. Now the smell was bad enough when he first did it but when we got back to the truck this smell was sooooooo raunchy I can't even think of something to compare it to after a few hours baking in the Florida sun the smell was absolutely unbearable we couldn't get out of there fast enough, so the hole moral of this story is if you do need to go & there's no bathroom around at least take a little walk away from where ya parked.

I got off track for a second sorry but when we got back from lunch we parked in a new spot of course and went back out all thought the tide really got a hold of it & it was just mushy and barely breaking outside. It did make for some damm good skim though, so we hung out grabbed some pics and waited for things to work out which eventually made for a really fun session that lasted till a little after dark.

Here's the pics I got in no particular order...

Huircane Earl Recap Part 1

Just now finally drying out from the labor day hurricane weekend. I finally took some pics & I got all sorts of fun stuff to talk about but I'm sunburned & still sore so I don't feel like covering it all right now so I'll start with the night before the swell arrived and how amped we we're gettin' about the Earl Swell... better yet I'll just post the footy of Brando getting amped I think that sums it up.

Check back for the next part of the recap

Vilano Recap

Last weekend we packed up the u.b.c. skim team & headed north to Vilano Beach for the 2010 Florida Skimboarding Pro/Am. The waves weren't anything to write home about but it was still solid knee to occasional waist high on shore which made for some fun skim. Saturday afternoon a crazy lighting storm rolled thru and caused the event to be on hold for a few hours which then resulted to an impromptu move down the beach where the skim was looking better, the only problem was the sun was just about down & due to lack of time they had to run heats in what soon became the dark, but not being able to see the waves didn't stop ryan from advancing to the semmi's the next day. Overall there was some fierce competition but the team held their own real well, nobody made it to the finals but there's always next year right.

Here's some photo's (click here to see em' all) & video will be up sometime next week...
