Message:	*Surf Travel Documentary Sliding Liberia* in Palo Alto on Saturday, June 7, 2008** Join Surfrider San Mateo County Chapter at Patagonia Palo Alto as filmmakers Britton Caillouette and Nicholai Lidow present Sliding Liberia, a film (featured on page 41 of the Patagonia Surf 2008 catalog) that follows four young surfers to West Africa in search of more than perfect waves. Devastated by decades of civil war, Liberia is home to both great surf and some fascinating stories. Take Alfred's, for example, who becomes Liberia 's first surfer after he finds a bodyboard while fleeing rebels. Besides recording some of those stories and rediscovering a break that could be the best-kept secret in the surfing world, the film reveals something more important--a way to travel responsibly in the 21st century. This event is free. We'll be serving light refreshments. Details: Saturday, June 7, 7:00 PM Patagonia Palo Alto 525 Alma St . 650-329-8556 Check out Sliding Liberia trailers at: http://www.patagonia.com/surf2008 Surfrider San Mateo County Chapter will have a table at this event.

StokeMaster.COM's literary reviewer and a novel author Wendy Tokunaga will also be interviewing Jaimal in my upcoming WavLOG article. Jaimal says he is not sure how long Amazon will offer this deal so for those who want to save on summer reading or get a l... Read More...

Amazing Holiday Swells Not Given Up! Oh what a holiday weekend this was. Many StokeMaster board members have enjoyed, and too some "got too much" fun on the NW long period swells that started around Thanksgiving day. In Half Moon Bay some spots that only fires a few times a year came alive and brought some super experts to these waves while it was almost impossible to paddle out in recreational breaks throughout San Mateo county. Instead of fizzling out the next set of swells have already arrived yesterday and we are still getting 14-sec... Read More...
