The <a href="http://www.nssa.org/">NSSA</a> was in town hosting a couple of contests at the Hook and Pleasure Point, Sam had 2 wins in the grom division, just bettering his big brother Ben's 1st and 2nd in juniors. They took turns surfing longboard, and both came home with a win. A good weekend for Team Coffey.<br />

The red board is a 8'0 mini glider. It has all the bottom features of my big boards, compressed down into a compact package that fits in the pocket and still paddles like a champ.<br />
<br />
The yellow two-tone is a 5'4" mini simmons. This little bar of soap has a surprising amount of grip and drive and is incredibly fast.<br />
<br />
On a lot of those in between days I'll find myself walking down to the beach with both boards. It sure keeps things interesting and I'm always learning something new.ward coffeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17217119796897693654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706457370556423488.post-74057908709277909772013-01-09T22:08:00.000-08:002013-01-09T22:11:27.041-08:00Room and Board<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last Saturday, Ben Coffey, a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">14 year-old straight-A high school freshman from Santa Cruz, California, rode his bike down to Steamer Lane (the renown surf break that will play <a href="http://www.aspworldtour.com/2011/12/22/oneill-cold-water-classic-santa-cruz-confirmed-for-2012-asp-world-title-series/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #05216b; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">host to an ASP World Tour contest</a> in a few months) to try out a new brand new board that his dad, Ward Coffey, the well-known surfboard shaper, made for him.</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The waves were only knee high, with a few bigger sets occasionally rolling through. The lineup was crowded; there were roughly 30 people out there. On Ben's way out, someone on the beach casually mentioned that some sort of contest was going on.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was <a href="http://bumrushtour.com/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #05216b; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">The Bum Rush Tour</a>, to be exact, a contest series with a unique set of rules. In Bum Rush there are no qualifiers or entry fees or applications to be filled out. There's no real heat structure, either. The judges simply stand on the beach and watch the action in the water (everyone becomes a contestant). After 20 minutes, they pick a winner.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eventually one of the judges picked up a bullhorn and called Coffey out of the water. He walked up the beach and stood on a rock. Some guys sprayed him down with sparkling apple cider and handed him a big cardboard check for $1,000, which Ben says he'll use to pay for a surf trip to some place with warm water.Ben connected on a a number of long rides, carving out graceful turns. "I was still feeling out the board, so I really wasn't pushing it," he says. But according to one account, a few of those rides were so long that instead of paddling back out to the lineup Ben elected to run along the beach and paddle straight out to the top of the point.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ben Coffey's surf pedigree is well worth mentioning. His dad, Ward, surfed professionally for a short time before he started <a href="http://www.wardcoffeyshapes.com/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #05216b; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">shaping surfboards</a> for a living in 1980. Ward shapes a few hundred boards a year. A handful go to Ben and his brother, but otherwise, Ward seems to be a pretty hands-off dad, not one of those "Little League Dads," who stand on the beach recording their kids' surf sessions and shouting instructions.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ward's wife, Ben's mom, is a surfer, too, and so it seemed only natural that Ben would shred.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ben started on a boogie board then moved to a soft-top surf board. Now Ben shreds the Lane on an entire quiver of custom boards. But Ward says the biggest factor behind Ben's development is a gang of friends: "The critical thing is you get all of these kids together and they just push themselves harder and farther than I ever could."</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Part of that push has come from three years of surfing on his school team. This is Ben's first year of competition on the <a href="http://www.nssa.org/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #05216b; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">National Scholastic Surf Association</a> (NSSA) circuit. The day after winning the Bum Rush event, Ben caught a ride to compete in an NSSA event. He had been to the finals a few times, and on Sunday he paddled out for his heats, feeling especially confident. He made the finals and collected his first win.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The next day at school, Ben was the center of attention. His buddies were all a little jealous, a little miffed over Ben's weekend success and that humongous $1,000 check.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #2a2a2a; font-style: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 60px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"None of them were out surfing the Lane that day," says Ben. "When I told them what happened they were all like, 'Man, I wish I'd been there." </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When the folks at Duke University's Nicholas Foundation asked me to come up with a board to present to Bill Reilly during a recent board meeting, it was only natural that I created a board that fit his values. Bill's had a lifelong commitment to oceans, having most recently led President Obama's commission to investigate the causes of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Bill helped create the EPA, ran the World Wildlife Fund <span class="Apple-style-span">for years and now chairs the boards of companies as well as green causes. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">The board I put together used <a href="http://www.markofoamblanks.com/foam/e-foam/">Marko Foam's E blank</a>, a blank made with 100% recycled </span><span class="Apple-style-span">styr</span><span class="Apple-style-span">ofoam, <a href="http://www.entropyresins.com/products/super-sap-1001000">Entropy's Super Sap BioResin</a>, a 40% biobased epoxy, and fins from <a href="http://www.surffcs.com/us/technology/greenflex/greenflex.aspx">FCS's GreenFlex</a> project. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Put them together and you have a board that is mindful, green, and environmentally aware. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Bill was stoked to get the board, said he had a pretty big pond at his place to try the board out before he hits the ocean. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm thinking consulting on a wave pool and private surf lessons might have to be put on the agenda at the next "board" meeting. </span><br />

Here's your chance to get an insane board for the simple purchase of a raffle ticket at this weekend's <a href="http://www.bigsticksurfing.org/">Big Stick LogJam.</a><br />
<h1 style="color: #cb3305; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Logjam! 2012</span></h1>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">April 28-29th, 2012. Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz</span></h2>
<div align="center" style="color: #020a91;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Big Stick Surfing Association (BSSA) is proud to announce the Logjam! 2012, the longest running "old boards, no cords" surfing competition is back at Pleasure Point for two days of amazing surfing action on vintage boards from the 1960's.</span></div>

<br />
At 9'6" x 16 1/2 x 23 3/4 x 14 1/2, this glider is a real rider. Inspired by the man, Skip Frye, this board is a symphony of bottom contours and foiled rails.<br />

The boys at Handcrafted really outdid themselves with perfect cut laps and flawless resin work.<br />

Simply put, this board would go into my personal quiver but also, this one gets chalked up to community service.<br />
