Flying High Now

]]> Smooth. Here is a ten point landing. May not look like it but he is quitet high up in the air. 1 and 1/2 meters more or less.

Ride 'em Buckaroo

]]> Looks more like a Rodeo bull rider than a skate boarder.

Hey Watch Out, Wipe Out.

]]> Did he make it. I honestly don't remember but from the looks of it he didn't. He is still Stylin though.

Ollie Up

]]> A little diversion from the farm. Went to a couple of skate parks last weekend and was pleased with the results. So newbies don't bail. Grab your deck and goofyfoot on over and we will acid drop the frontside so to speak.

A cold winter day.

]]> Not sure why but I like this shot. A Swather and a second partial Swather in the back ground. Snow, brown vegetation. A general feeling of a cold winter day.

Ye Old Barn

John Eagle — 2008-03-07T00:00:00Z

]]> Finally getting my photos together from the trip home this winter to the family farm. Thought I would start with a shot of the barn. It's a good 4 stories high. Used for storing hay. Now it stores equipment, deer, owls. It made a great setting for childhood games: Cowboys and Indians, Pirates, Hide and Seek.

Body Boarder, Boogieman or Sponge Bob?

Stinkbug Stance or Scripps Squatter

John Eagle — 2008-03-04T00:00:00Z

]]> A person with a very squatty, wide stance. Used in larger surf for better stability, but is also characteristic of a beginner. Also a moniker for most of the surfers during the spring and summer months at Scripps Pier in La Jolla, California who typically have a stinkbug or squat-style stance. But this is not Scripps, California so we will just calll this fellow stinky. This guy was actually one of best out this particular day. He was all over the waves carving it up. Fort Point, Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Ted Shred

]]> This guy almost got caught up in the wash but he fought it, held on and made it out. Note the tear in his wet suit around the knee. Fort Point, Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Hard Way to take a Shower

]]> New character on the scene. Just so you get an idea of how big these waves can get. Fort Point, Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

Carvin Marvin

]]> One more shot of this dude. He made it look so easy. Something to do with his hand gestures. Seems to be conducting. Surfing, Fort Point, Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
