Los Matadors del Oleaje Radioactivo

Monday, March 31st, 2008

If you don’t get the Paddlewise emails you might miss this fun little video from Mark Sanders.  Mark says, “This is the footage from my first attempts at surfing from last year.

I have a pretty flexible opinion of hunting, but on the other hand there has just GOT to be something wrong with this. Regardless of the issue of hunting, conservation or whatever “cause” [...]

“You should know everything about the Thorn business. After all it will be yours one day. “
