Surfing Mag

Q: When did Surfing Magazine become so shallow. :shrug:

I picked one up at la airopuerto the other day (such a wonderful selection of sport magazines available ) and it is now written by chimpanzies that got canned from freeze apparently. I felt dumber for having "read" it. The only semi-coherent piece was the river surfing one and even that was english enfeebled. (Some "great" quotes by our own riversurfing spammaster).

Also, when did the ass of the month club end? Did they run out of asses to photograph? The mind boggles at such a thought. I finally buy one of their products and no more A-O-T-M-C? Lame. Notice: Fanning Sandles = Rules.

The Surfers Path.

Ridiculously expensive but very well written with nice artistic pics.
Much cheaper if you subscribe.

[cj001f]

Much cheaper if you subscribe.

They recently had a subscription deal going which was 1 yr Subscription+DVD+T-shirt+reefs for $35.

Surfers Journal is also expensive, and good. Surfer is the best of the mainstream magazines.

[tuffy109]

surfer's path = english
surfer's journal = american

guess which is better?

Like I said
TALK YOUR SHIT TO MY FACE!
Surfing magazine is shit and the writer of the river surfing article is a bitch just like you. I have horrible writing skills but come check out my sub-missions(not written).
And don't ever use the word "great" again. You don't understand the meaning!

Surfing up Stream

Elijah Mack, 34, surfs the rapids known on the map as New Wave but known to kayakers as Screamer on the McKenzie River last week.

What started with a small ripple of interest has since grown to an addiction of whitewater proportions for river wave surfer Elijah Mack.
Mack, 34, is a one-man revolutionary, conquering wave after river wave.
"I am the leading force in pushing this sport," said Mack, the founder and president of World River Surfing Association and owner of Eugene-based Mos Faded Urban Barbershop.


Already known locally for his trims, Mack wants the world to sit up and take notice of a sport that's just beginning to come of age, but he hasn't had much luck garnering the interest of the surfing industry.
"It doesn't matter that the surf industry isn't giving me any love," Mack said, adding that local media, in addition to Oregon Public Broadcasting and Surfer's Path magazine are taking note.
He said it's not about the fame, it's all about riding the waves.
"It's not because I want to get exposure, it's because I want to go ride these waves and the only way to do that is through sponsorships," he said -- referring to legendary waves like the Overland Truck Eater, a Class-5 standing wave on the Zambezie River in Africa, named for the size of the object that could be sucked into it.
"When the river levels are just right -- only for two weeks in the summer and two weeks in the winter -- an eight-foot right-hand barrel grinds off all day long," he said of the infamous wave. "When I ride that wave it will be all over (the media)."
Mack learned of stationary wave surfing through a video about the Lunch Counter wave -- the biggest rapid in the Snake River Canyon, with a height that can exceed 10 feet and a shear wave at the end of its haystacks that can flip rafts and engulf kayakers.
The video provided the spark, but it would be several years before Mack would test the waters.
"I was just taking my dog for a walk along Butte Creek in Chico, Calif., and I stumbled on a little wave," Mack said.
That little wave became his first river surf in 1997, and he rode it about 15 times before calling it a day.
Two years later, Mack met a body border in Phoenix, Ariz., who knew where a stationary wave was just outside the city in a canal.
"That's what really sparked my interest," Mack said.
He then searched all over the Phoenix area for suitable waves to ride.
"None of those waves I could stand up on, though. I could just body board," Mack said.
Within a month, Mack found what he was looking for on-line. He loaded the youngest two of his three sons -- Alec, 9, Chance, 7, and Hurricane, 3 -- into a rental car and made off for the Colorado River to surf.
And he got hooked.
Mack has surfed rivers throughout Oregon, in Washington, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and British Columbia -- where he made a name for himself as a river surfer on the Skookumchuck.
"It's the most dangerous stationary wave for kayakers in the world and the most famous," Mack said. "It can't be done (surfed) that often because behind the waves are giant whirlpools."
Skookumchuck, meaning strong or turbulent water in Chinook, is appropriately titled. The massive whirlpools have killed 14 unlucky people in the last 11 years, but Mack came out on top as the second person ever to ride the notorious currents that can reach speeds up to 30 mph.
While Mack concedes the sport can be dangerous, he also says it just depends on where you surf.
"First thing you start off with is a body board," he said. "I stand right behind the rapid and push people into it. It's really easy to learn and it's not as dangerous as people think -- at least in terms of where I take them."
Mack's boys are following in their father's footsteps.
"He's ridden the waves and he's ridden a ripple," Mack said of Chance and Hurricane respectively. "Hurricane's the only 3-year-old in the world who yells out 'Surfing!' when he sees a river. Well, at least I think he is."
Mack contacted the City of Eugene on a proposal to build a stationary wave park in Alton Baker Park, but the project could take considerable time and money. Mack said he's withdrawn that proposal in place of another concept.
"The revised proposal is not to build in Alton Baker but to redo the weirs (on the Willamette River) to have year-round stationary waves in Glenwood," he said. "The weirs is a minor undertaking in terms of construction. It's just a matter of getting it through all the right channels to get it done."
Mack is also trying to get the World River Surfing Association to a non-profit status, with the hopes of starting a river surfing competition, and is working with a surfboard company on a special soft board design specifically for stationary surfing.
Even though Mack is a seasoned surfer -- both ocean and river -- he said he hasn't tried any snowboarder moves, which are made possible with board straps.
"I'm leaving that for the young up-and-comers," he said.
Up-and-comers, that is, like Chance and Hurricane.

Is this your attempt at making up for being afraid of sharks and deep water?

Or does salt water just burn your eyes too much?

Where do you live KOOK? Not in SF! But if you do live in SF the next time you surf then(which won't be untill summer)just ask about me, Bitch!
And to Little Tim- I saw you post once a pic of Fort Point and I thought you were the "Real" Big Tim from SF, guess not. I think tiny tim isa better name.

This is your HOME?! What a Fucking loser. I come on here just to shit on ass-wipes like you. A PR team? I'll leave that to the rest of the sheep! Don't forget to buy your Surfing Mag T-shirt today so everybody knows what a shredder you are!
Oh wait your right I had better be a good boy. Keep my mouth shut and eat all the shit people like you and your surf media cornhole buddies serve up?!
The "sport" of river surfing will promote itself. I fucking own a barbershop. Unlike the SALON you go to we pride ourselves on being brutally honest. So go get your perm and lie about the cutbacks you were doing. I know your hairstylist "loves" to hear all about it!
Immature? What kind of name is Lemon girl? The best thing is I have a great life(even the part where I go on-line a talk shit to my kindergarten buddies)up here in Oregon. Great kids, wonderful wife, great bussiness, and the support of a whole community. And since I am a barber everybody knows I have a foul mouth and a no bullshit direct aproach to dealing with conflict. So whether I say your an asshole or you finally do show up to my shop and I give you a "friendly" tour of my barbershop floor, it won't hurt my PR one bit.
Immature is word you would have a hard time finding in the mouths of anybody in Eugene Oregon to describe me.

But I know guys like you need to be hit over the head with this shit so here is an article about a program i set up with some friends to help at-risk youth in the poorest town in all of Oregon. What have you done to help? Drink a 12 pack?
Oh yea- I don't Drink or smoke. I must not be a man like you! Bitch!



A Shear delight
By Amber Fossen
YE OLDE CLIPPE SHOPPE -- Elijah Mack gives Jose Gonzales, 14, a hair cut in a makeshift barber shop in Room 14 at Springfield Middle School on Monday. SAM KARP/The Springfield News

In Room 14, where punk rock meets funk, images are transformed.
As in most barber shops, a laid back atmosphere invites random discussions like the Funk Brothers' contribution to Motown and the fading of true punk rock -- as sharp-edged steel scissors trim over-grown hedges from the mops of youths.
One by one, heads of hair turn from winter's thicker coat into sporty, summer styles.


As customers hop out of the chair, they grab their books, say a quick thanks, and head back to class.
Room 14 at Springfield Middle School hosts its own barbershop one Monday a month dedicated to serving the school's students, their siblings, and even students from surrounding schools like Hamlin or Agnes Stewart middle schools.
While popular among the student body, a trim by Elijah Mack, owner of Eugene-based Mos Faded Urban Barbershop, costs the students and their parents $0.
"We get about 15 to 20 students each Monday," said Eugene Chism, multicultural liaison. "They're (students) huge fans of it and parents bring in their other kids too. It's a way for families to utilize someone as good as Eli and to brighten these kids' day."
Chism said the barber shop concept began two years ago when he, Mac and Derien Latimer -- student services coordinator and English Language Learner teacher -- brainstormed a way for financially strapped students to have access to free haircuts.
Why not bring it on campus? Mack was in.
"It seemed, at the time, a no-brainer," he said.
Mac had moved to the Eugene area and found himself living at the Eugene Mission, trying to get on his feet. Knowing what it's like to have little funds he decided to volunteer his skills to kids facing the same money troubles.
"When I went and cut the kids' hair, it was the best day I'd had since I moved to Eugene," Mack said.
Mac now owns Mos Faded but closes up shop one Monday a month so he can continue volunteering at the school.
"I think now that my business is more successful. I feel even more inclined to help," Mack said.
Chism said the school has had other hair cutters participate -- at one point, four chairs were constantly rotating students -- but Mack is the staple.
"It's a pleasure and a bunch of fun," Chism said. "You get to see how it can change the outlook of a kid's day, week and maybe even turn around their year."
Mack specializes in boys' cuts but Chism said the school hopes to find another stylist willing to volunteer to help serve the female student body.
In the meantime, Mack is not short on demand.
First timer Jeremy Black had a simple request when he sat down for a trim.
"I just want it short," the seventh grader said, "as long as you don't cut my ears."
Once finished -- with no ears nicked -- Mack earned a "Sweet" from Black as he headed back to class.
Mack said the latest trend in teen hair is to keep it short with spikes on the top. He said colors are also big and may one day be an option for students -- parental approval permitting.
"We're going to have to know ahead of time that it's OK to do that," he said, noting students who receive free haircuts must have parent permission first.
Principal Jeff Mather said the response from families has been overwhelmingly positive and students appreciate Mack's knowledge of what's in.
"It's not like getting some old-school barber to come in and do it," Mather said. "He knows what they want."
Knowing what they want brings some students -- like 15-year-old Abram Brabo -- back time and time again.
"I think it's pretty cool and I don't have to pay for it," Brabo said. "They're pros and they know what they're doing and they're pretty cool people too."
Brabo came to the school's barber shop with a longer mane but cut it shorter after consulting with Mack.
"He's gone from the Fonzarelli to the medium Fonzarelli/Brad Pitt," Mack said. "We'll take him down to Antonio Banderas today."
Brabo said he wished the service was offered more frequently so he could keep his fast-growing locks in check.
"My aunt doesn't like cutting my hair, and I don't like her cutting my hair, so we're good like that," Brabo said.
Chism said he's seeking to fund the program through grants, which could allow the shop's services to expand. If funding is secured the make-shift shop could be vamped to include a station for salon equipment and a hair washing bowl.
Mack said with funding to public schools decreasing, volunteer efforts are crucial.
"You have to do grassroots operations to get anything to work in the schools anymore," he said.
The next opportunity for a free haircut is Monday, May 24.
