Gorkin, Geiselman, and Groms were showing up and blowing up. They surely had to dodge a few shark fins while out there at the shark bite captial of the world, New Smyrna Beach, during the month with the highest rates of shark attacks. It is not a small difference. Every month other than September, there is only around one shark attack. September gets, on average, 7 more shark bites during this month, many of them coming from the shark bite capitol of the world. And yesterday, there were three shark attacks. Luckily, the little spinners and blacktips swimming in those waters only nip at people.

NSB Video
Bird Productions produces videos in the town of New Smyrna Beach. This video was published just three days ago. These were the waves over by the inlet over the weekend.

A difficult struggle indeed. Continue reading Smyrna
Cody Thompson and Carl Rosen
What’s rad about this video is the way Cody talks about his feelings for the Jacksonville area, not to mention the clips are absolute fire. But, we listen to him talk about growing up with his father right on the beach while we see a vision of the famous Jacksonville pier. We also hear him mention that his brother lives just down the road from where he lives. It’s cool, because it’s sort of how I think a lot of people grow attached to the place they live and the waves they surf. Love from caregivers during youth plays a pivotal role in our attachment for surfing, and the waves and places we associate with that love.
Cristobal
Cristobol got pretty fun down in south Florida, lighting up the less consistent, but firing sandbars and reefs of south Florida. Spots like Jensen and Delray have gorgeous women, crystal clear water, and some of the longest point breaks on the east coast.
