Santa Cruz Surfer Dude

Since I tried surfing last summer in Santa Cruz (see the surfer’s Statue to your right with parts of the SC Beach Boardwalk) and my surfing expertise looked quite semiprofessional after a 5-minutes-dry-practice, I want to keep you not-soau-courant-with-surfing guys up to date with the latest trend. Check out a video (after the jump) about surfing in a place where the common people aren’t likely to point at when it comes to top-notch global surfing spots.

Websites where you won’t lose touch with the surfing scenes are listed on Drift Surf Magazine’s blog directory. A British magazine that I like to flip through online. Love their blog. And via their website I found the entertaining video dealing with the essential question, how did they make surf boards. 70s’ style.

The Sco-ish Experience days are approaching surprisingly fast. I really look forward to that trip.

Journey Information: My plane leaves Vienna International Airport at 0740, so I have to take a shuttle bus from Westbahnhof Wien (departs about 0530). Once I catch my connecting flight in London Heathrow (I am so going to be in the mood “yay, I am going to San Francisco, dude, oh wait, no, I’ll see Julia - uhh”), the plane (British Airways, what else?*) will drop me off in Edinburgh Airport. An air link shuffle (it goes every 15 min.) takes me to the Edinburgh City center (Waverley Station). From there, I’ll take the train to Leuchars and then a bus to St. Andrews where I will meet Julia. She’s going to pick me up there.

Well. A lot of Austrians are not aware of their funny accent. I have to admit by myself, that I was not aware of how funny we sound to others either. So, I’ve been trying to work on my accent and so should you. (I’ll let you know if my plans work out… (@Blake: Do you have a phony British accent? I know Amanda does “There’s a booooy in the woaaaoooter…”) You get more girls that way…. Oh and by the way… My phony English accent is getting better so you guys from the city of Los Angeles better watch out. It’s just the way it… Watch this video, it is hilarious!

PS: Good luck for the oral Maturas, we have to be fine. It’s just the way it is… right?

Hey folks, I was just having the greatest idea ever. I post a picture, and you have to guess what place the shot from flickr.com shows. Happy guessing*! Whenever someone comes up with the correct location, the next one is going to be posted in the same post. Just to let you know.
