Congratulations goes out to Matuse Family Member, Harley Taich, for winning the women’s division last Sunday in Carlsbad. The high school contest brought girls out from all the surf teams in San Diego from Carlsbad to Point Loma. Harley is riding for La Jolla High School. She won all 3 heats leading to the final. In the finals she scored a perfect 10 followed up by a 7.5 to separate herself by a wide margin from the rest of the field. Great work Harley.

Even though the North Shore hasn’t been great it’s a lot better than most places. Matuse Family Member, Keoni Jones, punts another one out at Rockies on another “flat” day.

Hey Guys,

Yesterday in Jersey was one of those days we live for over here. 30 degree air temps, 40 degree water, 30mph off shore winds and stand up tubes all day long. Usually, I would say I need a break when its that cold and snowing. For the first time I can remember, I surfed for 5 hours in those conditions and was actually pulling my hood down and splashing my face with the freezing water because I was so warm at times I was sweating. I contemplated wearing my 6/5/4 Tumo…Thank god I didn’t because my 5/4/3 had me warmer than I would have been sitting in front of a fire. Cheers to you boys for making these things.
