So Warm I Just Watched.

Written By Matt Keenan on March 19th, 2010 with 1 Comment.

I just surfed my brains out for the past week. Paddling against a rip that just tore my arms off basically, was the best feeling ever because the reward was so insane. I got some of the best waves I’ve gotten in OC in a long time with my boys Rob Kelly and then for days with Andrew Gesler. Seth cruised up and shot with us for two days and it was so nice to be able to get some work done at home. The waters warming up, the sandbars are really good and all we have to do…

It’s always cool to come across a article that you wouldn’t expect to see. NJ.com gets 3.5 million unique hits a month and they have a surf writer who’s working on getting his own work out there. Here it is below and hope you enjoy it.
PS. There’s so much surf on tap for this week I don’t think I can even stand it. It’s like christmas morning for the next five mornings!!!

Catching up with Real.

I know it may seem weird that the surf shop I ride for is in Waves , Cape Hatteras, but the place is just crazy. I got into kiteboarding this past jun and I was down there hanging out. I got the lessons I needed to get out onto the water and one thing lead to another. The place is like no other place in the world with the craziest lessons center, on site 5 star accommodations, restaurant that it out of the world and the largest retail center that I know of. They did a cool little interview…

Taylor Steeles NEXT BIG THING! GO LOSNESS!!!

Written By Matt Keenan on March 8th, 2010 with No Comments.

Taylor Steele is god when it comes to making, producing and distributing surf porn! We just gotta have every movie he’s made from Momentum to Stranger Then Fiction and now his new baby, innersection.tv. Look at it as the four seasons and each season you can make the best video section you can, give it a killer edit, add an awesome song and you have your own movie that’s 2-3mins long. Now the whole world can log onto the site and then pick and choose through all the videos and rate it from one star to 10. The top…

Freeze For A Cause was Rad.

Written By Matt Keenan on March 7th, 2010 with No Comments.

Every winter for the past few we gather up at the JERSEY SHORE’S most famous strip of beach and bars called, Seaside. All the lame MTV jokes aside the town is rad. We always get some sick surf and there’s always some stuff going on the side that makes things interesting. This year besides all the boys getting together to surf, Seaside was having it’s annual Polar Bear Plunge. The town was mobbed to say the least and the usually quite streets were bustling. 4000 estimated people drinking and raging all day from morning to night.
The contest was…

Everyone by now knows how severe the crisis is in Haiti. Last night the boys got together and held a huge fundraiser in Haiti’s honor and Steven Cookies was packed to capacity and had an amazing turn out. There was a silent auction, raffles, food , drinks and more smiles, laughs, and great stories to be had. The entire surf community and our surrounding communities really reached into their pockets and spared no expense in helping Haiti and it was awesome to be there and take part in it. Awesome job Rich, Jon, SBB and everyone who was involved…

I’m not sure why none of the crew has posted this yet but I figured today’s a little slow so I might as well do it. Everyone at the candy here loves surfing. It’s why we do in the water and here online for everyone to enjoy. So I guess the best way to describe this post is just lay it all out. Rich is such a sick photographer. He’s always getting amazing angles, lighting, textures and just seems to actually see the end result ahead of time. Jaime Moran rides the tube better then most people on earth…

Big thanks Mountain Creek!!!

With another flat spell upon us, it seems like the only thing to do since it’s so cold and we’ve been getting ponded with snow, was to ride. I’ve been up to Mountain Creek before and love riding at South. Tons of fun banks, rails and jumps for all levels and as the day went on we got our courage together and hit bigger and bigger stuff. Rob was actually doing full blow tail lay backs like we were just out in the ocean on the lil snake run and full grab rail carves. All an all what a…

I hope everyone got there share of the coldest tubes of the winter so far. I can’t begin to describe how cold the water is to someone who’s not been out in the last few weeks. Today after a few duck dives it was almost like blacking out and seeing stars.  I swear a few times I was almost brought to tears and on one set this morning I went over the falls and almost drown because it was so cold and I couldn’t hold my breath because it was just taken out of my lungs. Here’s a few…

I got a call from Real Watersports team manager, Jason, a few months back and said we were going to be getting all the athletes together to crash at Real’s house in PR. We were going to have video guys, photographers and all the kite, boards, stand ups and everything in between that we needed to have a total blast no matter what the conditions were going to be. The house is located a few lots back from the awesome surf and kite spot, called Shacks. I was so stoked to get in the water and shake off the…
