the DR model

The DR is Dean‘s signature board. This board

has a slightly racier outline with fuller rails and

the rocker is lower through out with a slight kick

in the tail. The bottom is flat under the front foot

to a single then double concave between the

fins to slight v off the tail. This gives the board

a very forgiving and positive feel while being

very fast and drivey through turns. Dean rides

this board in almost any condition but is best in

waist to well overhead surf.

Taking Back Sunday has been one of the staples of the American rock scene since the late 90s and early 2000s and have since become one of the most popular acts in their genre.We sat down with John Nolan (lead guitar & back up vocals), and Shaun Cooper (Bassist) for a quick chat before their show at the House of Blues in Atlantic City

Beef and Beer for Brody BoveSunday, April 22, 2012

4:00pm until 7:00pm Only a few weeks ago Brody Bove, 19 months old, underwent two lifesaving brain surgeries. He was diagnosed with Communicating Hydrocephalus, a lifelong brain condition which causes an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. A shunt was implanted to divert this fluid from the brain to the abdomen. Since a cause cannot be determined, Brody will need multiple surgeries throughout

his life to modify this shunt as he grows.

Please help support Brody Bove by joining us for an evening of fun and great food! Come out and eat and drink all you want for $25. Lots of prizes to auction and raffle off. If you would like to purchase tickets in advance please feel free to contact Madonna at 609.408.5667. Call or text. Tickets will also be available at the door. beefandbeerfundraiserforbrodybove.yolasite.com/

In the middle of the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean lies the most isolated island chain in the world: the Hawaiian Islands. The gems of the Pacific, they have become the Mecca of the surfing world of today, the proving grounds. If any aspiring surfer is trying to make a name for themselves, they must do it in the waves of Hawaii’s North Shore. After years of surfing New Jersey’s beautiful brown water, I made the switch to a more tropical locale and to test fate my fate upon these waters. I was frothing hard. Underneath the blue water, clear skies, and warm temps, though, is the beast hidden within Hawaii’s beauty. All at once, I was rudely and violently awakened from daydreams of makeable barrels and long open walls to the harsh reality; Hawai’i has kicked the shit out of me. After my first few months in paradise I can proudly claim that I have taken my beatings. The waves get BIG here. Real big. I’ve seen waves that make people look like bugs. Waves so powerful they make the ground tremble and crack underwater as you duck-dive under. These waves are faster than anything I’ve ever ridden before. On the bigger days, flying down the line at Mach 38 it seems impossible to be going that fast on a piece of foam. In Jersey it was all about getting speed, here it’s all about bleeding it off. And bleed you do. After a session at Urma’s on the East Side, my feet were minced to a bloody pulp from the razor sharp coral. If the coral or the urchins don’t get you, the wipeouts will. If you think you’re ready for the big swells that hit Country in winter and you don’t live there, think again. I’ve had the most brutal, crushing wipeouts of my life. Over-the-falls and right onto the reef or deep into the abyss, the wave hits you with the impact of a small car going 40 miles per hour right into body. The North Shore is famous for a reason. The waves are downright brutal and full of broken dreams. Yet when that perfect set rolls through and you snag the wave of a lifetime, all the beat downs, all the hold-down’s, and all pints of blood lost in the pursuit of that perfection makes it all worth it.

“the wave hits you with the impact of a small car going 40 miles per hour”

Getting to the island was easy; getting to the best secret surf spots, now that’s a different story. When we arrived Rincon was pretty flat so with my cousins Jake and Dave in tow we trekked up to Aguadilla for our first session. The locals are a tough bunch there, in and out of the water. Not to mention some crazy, graveyard-exploring dogs that seemed to patrol the beach. I watched from the beach as the guys ripped through some nice rights and navigated through the crowd of teardrop-tattooed locals. After a certain dude damaged his board, we headed further north and stopped at a spot that had caught our eye. This one picture is all we’re prepared to let the world see…

Puerto... By: Katie Walters

There is something that every surfer, waterman, and occasional surf photographer all have in common; the search for the endless summer. After many years of saying “I’ll do it next winter” I took a semester off of college and headed down to Rincon, Puerto Rico for the month of January. As a female in the surf photography industry, it can be pretty hard to be taken seriously. Luckily, two of my cousins happen to live in Rincon and know a thing or two about surfing and I brought my fiancé along to enjoy the ride.

Sandy Beach was the closest break to our house so we spent numerous days there enjoying smaller long board sessions and an occasional sick left off the cliff. Most of the places you go you’re sure to encounter some sharp reef and a few sea urchins. A road trip we took to Middles paid off with some great surf and good shots. Domes seemed to stay crowded for the whole month, especially on the weekends. We stayed local with a few road trips during flat spells that were definitely worth it. You could also rent a standup paddleboard or ATV when you really can’t bear to sit on the beach any longer.

The best way to enjoy Rincon is to rent a house and do things yourself; you won’t see many resorts lining the beaches here, just surf bungalows and some beautiful homes. So, for the month, we lived like locals: grocery shopping, walking to the beach, and barbequing the night away. First thing in the morning our routine became walking down the hill from our house to Sandy Beach and checking the waves there. Nothing at Sandy’s? Pools, Spanish Wall and Parking Lots are all within walking distance. While Domes, Marias, and Indicators are all around a five-minute drive. The Puntas Bakery definitely became one of our favorite stops along the way; if you ever find yourself in Rincon, go there! There are tons of great lunch spots with views of the ocean or you can simply ride down to Steps Beach and get a pincho after a long day of snorkeling!

While in Rincon, I enlisted my Uncle Dave of Enchanted Island Surfboards to make Travis a custom board. The whole process was awesome. We drove to Isabela to pick up the blank that would soon become Travis’ magic carpet. Once the blank was in my uncle’s hands we all stood back and watched. Now, after living there for 25 years, he knows what kind of boards do best in Rincon surf. Once he finished the board it was on to the next step: artwork. My cousin Dave has great drawing skills and did a sick job on Travis’ board! For more of their adventures check out www.BrotherlyMischeif.com

OUtSIDE BAYFRONt DINING

One Smile at a TimeFinding pleasure in the little things

By: Phil LeRoy

Whether the sun is shining, setting, rising or the rain is pouring, “Byron Bay’s Dancing Man,” can be found flamboyantly emulating the sounds amplifying from his head phones with unorthodox, passionate, gyrating movements, absent from the judgments of the world.

Tommy Franklin is the epitome of liberation. “Byron Bay’s dancing man,” as many know him on the internet, became a YouTube semi-sensation for his antics while dancing in the rain on Byron Bay’s main street in Australia. While all the onlookers take cover under the umbrellas at The Beach Hotel, and a particular woman frantically runs for shelter toward the pub while Franklin engages her in dance to no avail, he is not fazed, and continues dancing in the rain. In what is probably the most astute observation any one could make at the time, one of the onlookers proclaims: “this guy’s got life by the fuckin’ balls.” But it wasn’t always that way for Franklin.

After years of heavy addiction to drugs and alcohol, and the subsequent result when his family “didn’t trust him” and his friends “didn’t want to know him,” Franklin hit rock bottom after being hit by a car; nearly costing him his life. After his flirtation with death, Tommy Franklin crawled out from his pit of depression, put on some head phones, started tapping his toes and changing his life one smile at a time. He realized something had to change. He had to walk away from friends who were only interested in partying hard, understanding that if he didn’t, he would have ended up on the streets.

One might infer Tommy Franklin’s decision to dance in public as a venting and healing mechanism as strange. After all, he is a grizzly man, sporting a fiery-red, thick beard and matted long hair. He has an affinity for formal wear and a pension for unapologetic dance moves. Eyes are sure to turn curious with apprehension at first. As Franklin admits “people like to put up their walls, or they have fears in letting people know how they feel or in being vulnerable.” People are increasingly drawn to Franklin because of his knack to break down those walls and do whatever he feels. Although his unique dancing and positive outlook on life have only inspired the beautiful people of Byron Bay thus far, there is no telling where his contagious dancing will inspire next.

Finding joy in the simple things that life has to offer and appreciating that which we usually take for granted is hard. Many of us tend to get consumed in our daily routines and we forget to slow down and smell the roses. For Tommy Franklin, dancing is the self-expressive key to happiness and he hopes his actions can inspire others to find what makes them happy too. We can all learn a thing or two from Tommy Franklin: let loose, smile more often, find someone you trust, and don’t take life so seriously.
