MON FEB 15TH
2010
– Surf blog enthusiasts statewide have been driven to rage by the fact that
legendary local surfer Seabass has failed to blow their minds with a downright
freaky new surfboard design for the second year in a row.
“Enough
with the Seabass mythology, it's about someone calling it like they see it, and
quite frankly, way I see it, the whole SeaBlaster thing stinks.
“In no way is my unfocused and ignorant rage a clear reflection of the
bitterness I feel towards my own mediocre talents in the water and the drudgery
of my own life, which stretches before me as a sad, increasingly grey wasteland
of anonymity”
writes YouseCanAllGetStuffed on critically lauded failsurffail.com
“Take Seabass, biggest disappointment in the history of Palm Beach. Without
question he's an enormously gifted multi sport athlete, probably the best
baseball player I've ever seen, but I don't think I've ever
been less impressed with his so-called genius surfboard designs.
Ignore
the personal tragedies, the crippling injuries, the almighty focus and steel
will of the man; dismiss if you will the fact he'll be first out surfing every
morning such is his sheer love for surfing and the ocean; put to the back of
your mind his humility, patience and approachability and what do you get?
“That's right, your average everyday surf slug.”
Barely pausing for breath, YouseCanAllGetStuffed continued, “Seriously,
if I have to sit and watch another kook weekend surfer stumble through waves with
their shiney new SeaBlaster8 I can't tell you how upset I might become, and how
I'll bombard the world's message boards with my stinking vitriol.
“It used to be Thank goodness for Seabass, he's the future right now.
“What's that? We're over Bass already?
“Yep, Thought as much. Honestly, what a letdown that eccentric psycho-boy-homo
is. Sad to think back how he was once the real deal and the idol of countless
Florida groms and hot chicks. These days? Two thumbs down. Waaaay down.
“Without question, Seabass
is done.”
Not only is the former poster boy for avante-garde performance surfing now
universally loathed for the recent drought of mind-blowing freakiness, Surf
media analysts have noticed an online trend towards pre-emptive hating, and cite
dangerously renegade
sexmysurf.com, where the defenseless Seabass is
acting as springboard in a discussion that's officially attracting a gazillion
new posts per minute.
“SCREW EVERYONE,” writes self-described 'maverick' blog commenter
BlinkyBalls
on sexmysurf.com “in particular, screw the ASP tour, the rebel tour, the judges,
the caterers, the security staff, the mags, the locals, the tourists, the kooks,
Mom, Dad, my little sister, my dog, the Cops, screw’ em ALL.
“And Seabass? Well, I’ve been over him and his cocky attitude for a long time.
Don’t tell him I said this but the SeaBlaster 8 is Boooooring!”
--------------
As we go to press with this story, Seabass' management has offered an
emotional apology to the entire surfing world for “Seabass’ disappointing
inability to blow minds with something crazy and new over the last couple of
years.”
“Bass knows he has a lot of dedicated fans counting on him” reads the press
release, “and personally feels terrible”
However, a typically defiant Seabass maintains the new SeaBlaster 8 is well ahead of its time and that he has been ripping waves to shreds on it. "Give me a break already, I'm a hundred fifty five years old and I'm still the undisputed Heavyweight Champ in the water."
"When are you punks gonna catch up?"
He went on to say that his "mind blowing high performance surfing" in overhead waves last week at Juno Pier ranks among some of the all-time greatest surfing ever seen in Jupiter or Juno and should have quieted all doubters. It hasn’t.

Is Seabass a Surf LE
The 2010 model "Paco Rocket".

SEABLASTER 8: This is the 4th Edition
QUAD: The prototype (my board) is 7'7"...quad fin system....very thin squash tail, thin nose, extra light, and some other Top Secret ingredients that only I know.
I developed the 7'2" prototype in 2007 and no one liked it except me. It was totally rad!
In 2008, I went to 7'10", made some huge changes, and the board worked well but wasn't what I wanted. Still too stiff and slow for me. 2009 went shorter to 7'8", tweaked a little here and there, added a Cut Fin, and the current SeaBlaster (Speed Demon Model) is flying! Speed no longer an issue.(see PR photo below).

Now for 2010
the SeaBlaster is going full throttle with a fresh new and innovative design. The Quad is a totally different ride than the Thruster. Not necessarily better, but definitely totally different and requires an small adjustment period. It took me 3 or 4 really good sessions before I felt totally comfortable, now I love it!Have questions? Wanna buy one?

MEANWHILE...........
BACK HOME!
BRRRRRRR! The ocean is STILL at 50 frigid degrees in Central Florida!
Totally unheard of for here.
Screw this, We're going back to:
RINCON
Not sure who experienced the most near-drownings on this trip, Jimbo, Louis, or me.
First of all, Dec 29 in Puerto Rico the waves were HUGE.
As in GIGANTIC.
We had to be towed out to the line-up by Carson's Waverunner w/sled because paddling out was totally impossible. The waves were breaking clear across the channel and winding down all the to Pressure Point (if you know where that is) and were even wrapping around and BOMBING at a reef break called 'Wishing Well' (if you know where that is). The waves were scary BIG and any mistake could easily result in your drowning. There were maybe 10 of us out in the water and about 200 surfers and spectators watching us from the beach.
WE each caught some incredible waves that were so friggin big that it was absolutely surreal dropping down these gigantic faces and flying across these massive walls of water. It was totally SICK!
Most of the guys out there were Towing into the waves but I opted to paddle.
The first wave I paddled into was gigantic and all I wanted to do was make the drop, make the wave and survive. Everything went great and I rode the massive wall almost all the way across the channel before easily sliding out up and over the top. After that first one my confidence went way up and I was able to relax a little bit without thinking I was gonna die at any second.
You can't believe how aware and maxed out all your senses are when major amounts of fear driven adrenaline are racing through your body. Keeping your mind in control is the only way to possibly ride waves like this. Of course you better be pretty damn athletic too but it's the mental part that's hard to master.

It's GREAT!

Some Florida Beach cams:

Jupiter Inlet - Erdman Video Systems |

Sebastian Inlet - Erdman Video Systems |

Jensen Beach - Erdman Video Systems |
Sebastian and Jensen are good indicator cams for Surf. Jupiter is definitely good too because the Jupiter outer reef is a fantastic indicator for waves 20 miles in either direction. (click on and enlarge the reef ). I can wake up, look at a few cams and can pretty much figure out exactly when and where the best spot is going to be. I've been surfing here since Nov. 1972 and I know every spot inside and out along the 130 mile stretch from Cocoa Beach Pier down to the Lake Worth Pier.
Other than being grounded for various periods of time due to injuries, or out of the country surfing somewhere else, I've missed very very few big swells here during the past 37 years.

Dog And Master Reunited After Master Seemingly Vanishes Off Face Of Earth- for 40 Minute Surf
TUES.
JANUARY 18, PALM BEACH, FLORIDA –
46 year old local radio personality and North Beach surfer Sea Bass has been
found safe and well, miraculously stepping back out of a mysterious other-world
to rejoin the land of the living, his dog told all within earshot on the beach
yesterday.
'Millie', a four-year-old refugee from Puerto Rico – who had all but given up
hope of seeing her master alive again greeted Sea Bass at the water's edge,
breathlessly and loudly exclaiming “you're

PALM BEACH, FL –
Two days after 13-year-old local surfer Danny Kincaid claimed to have been
'fully shacked' at his local break, the facts of the matter seem no closer at
hand.
The furor started
at 10.35am local time, when Danny and friends were surfing a reform peak out
front of the world famous Breakers Hotel, where local Island surfers have
congregated for decades.
Kincaid paddled back out to his friends after taking a small inside wave, and
excitedly described the tube ride no-one had witnessed.
55-Year-old local surf legend Sea Bass –well respected among Kincaid's circle of
friends as the guy who still does the best re-entries and hacks and stuff –
immediately disputed Kincaid's claim.
“Sorry Homie” Bass is quoted as saying.
Onlookers report a heated exchange between Kincaid and his mentor Bass, with
Kincaid protesting the authenticity of his barrel by describing how "The lip
came right over my head. I wasn't like, super deep or anything, but for sure the
back bit of my board was fully slotted!.”
The
agitation flared back up that afternoon as Kincaid recounted his barrel to some
non-surfing friends at a nearby McDonalds restaurant. Once again, Sea Bass
provided an opinion to the contrary – this time stirring up support from others
who'd been out there that morning.
Critically, Kincaid's best friend Tony McCallum expressed doubts, asking Kincaid
quietly “Bro, are sure you didn't kinda imagine it? Like, did you have your eyes
open? Why didn't you jump off like you always do?”
Realizing he had little support, Kincaid began to negotiate a compromise,
reasoning “Look, it was definitely a cover up, there was stuff going on
everywhere. I guess if you were on the beach and a bit back I would have totally
disappeared for a sec. Maybe not all of me at once, but, ya' know, it would have
been like 'where's Caidy? Oh, there he is'.”
By the end of the McDonald's session, Kincaid's ride had been downgraded to
'full-on head-dip'.
Friends say they will keep a close watch on Kincaid on return to school after
the Easter break, lest he revert back to his original barrel claim.
“Betchya he tells that betty Kathy Dobson he got fully barreled”, observed
McCallum “He's got the hots for her and nothing he says would shock
me".
