Lavese Los Manos - Chapter 1

By: Janos Palko

Your good friends over at Analog have done something incredible, folks. They've captured Nathan Fletcher. I don't mean 'captured' in the 'episode of COPS' sense, but the other way. The 'on film' way. Im actually not sure which method of capture would be harder, when you're talking about Nate Fletcher. He's an elusive dude, to say the least. It must have been a nightmare to track him down and film his Hunter S. Thompson-esque surf adventures. I'd imagine that a tiger trap would be your best bet for successful capture. You know, dig a large pit, cover it in leaves, and wait for prey to fall in. Speaking from experience, camouflaging the trap is argueably the most important element of the plan, especially when you just dug a hole in Megan Fox's front lawn. Dead leaves work well, but be creative and use your surroundings. The second most important element is the bait. Once again speaking from experience, the odds of this person/wild animal just happening to walk into your carefully laid trap are usually quite slim. Bait is a good idea, unless you have a couple days to kill, and really enjoy sitting in trees. A torn up restraining order soaked in tears seems to make the best bait, in my experiences. Which brings me to my next... wait.... uhh.. what are we talking about again? Oh yeah. The Analog movie.The movie is so f*cking sick. It opens with Nate getting clipped at backdoor, then taking a bomber set on the head. Having grown up in Hawaii, i can honestly say i've never been more terrified while surfing, than getting caught inside at backdoor. Its so shallow, there's no channel, bombs from OTW double up and just rape the hell out of you. I'd rather call Kala a sissy, to his face, than get cleaned out at backdoor again. Actually, nevermind, i take that back. Anywhooo, there are some crazy punts and gaping pits that you'd expect from Nate, and its all shot and edited together very well. The music is dope. In fact, just watch it. Here's chapter 1. More to come...

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing

A return to old-school measuring techniques is in order

Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
