Big F@cking Pools
I'm not sure why but for some reason I'm coming across loads of ridiculously big pools all of a sudden. Im not searching for them. Its not like I'm going to google and typing in "big pools", However by the look of all my posting, i might from now on. But I'm just somehow stumbling upon thees things. Maybe this is a sign I'm ment to do something with pools. Who knows. Anyways, another massive pool. This one, The Ocean Dome, is located in the Seagaia Resort in Japan. Its got a wave pool that actually looks ok, a volcano that erupts every 15 minutes, a bunch of waterslides, and stage shows that go on at night. I'm loving pools right now.

Not the ShortStraw
So I met the guys from ShortStraw a few weeks back at ASR San Diego and totally loved there stuff. They have that retro 70's surfer style going on but it still have that humble grass roots feel. Their board shorts are totally what caught me though. The patterns are creative, the colors are classic and the length is just right above the knee.

A world record surfing attempt took placed this past Weekend in Santos Brazil. No it wasn't for the largest wave ridden or the longest barrel, it was all about how many people could surf the same wave. The event sponsor Earthwave, founded by Kahuna Surfing Academy in Cape Town South Africa, wanted to surfers to take a try at the record world wide. Over 100 people rode this little warrior in Brazil on Sunday and more attempts are to follow in the weeks coming in nine different countries, from Australia to South Africa, Portugal, Britain, the USA, Argentina, Tahiti, and Ireland. The goal of this event is to highlight the problem of climate change.
