Higher Learning
Take a journey with Evan Slater and the highlights of his surfing college career from freshman to super senior year at UCSD: "Once Black's sucks you in, it becomes a way of life." Black's is arguable the best beachbreak on the entire California coast, but early on few were interested due to the hike down the trail. Tom Linton entertains us with his ode to Black's: "Flapdoodle Dugs and Festive Merkins."

Waves Around The Bend
Here’s a four-pack of Indonesian discoveries guaranteed to get you checking discount flights to Jakarta. It starts with The Beast, a place that’s recently hosted the heaviest pit-plumbings this side of Peahi. If that’s a little much, consider “The No Brainer,” a virtual skatepark of a left/right/bombie combo. Next up, might Brad direct your attention to Cricket Point? It’s a legit sand bottom point in the wilds of (we think) Java, adding further reason to consider a land-based tromp. Finally, there is “The Hoax,” a hardly-hidden left point that Masters claims is “good from far but far from good.” Photos lie, but we won’t—this is a sick, sick assemblage.
