With the ridiculous increase in baggage fees, I am not sure how many surfers will be traveling with their

surfboards this season. But for those of you who are either die hards or just lucky enough to be traveling to a surf destination that justifies bringing your board with you, this video is for you: how to pack your surfboard travel bag so the damn airlines don’t ding your board. The vid goes over some basic packing tips, and definitely worth the 3 minute viewing… if nothing else, check out the quiver this guy brings with him when he flies to Australia.

“Ralph Bond, a spokesman for Intel, says the company has helped designed a surfboard that contains a fully functional wireless laptop that would allow riders to “Surf the surf and surf the Web at the same time.”

Bond says the one-of-a-kind creation is meant “to show how wireless connectivity to the Internet is really permeating every aspect of our lives.” And while mixing the waves with the Web might sound like an ingenious idea, it wasn’t an easy task to accomplish.

Are they on crack?  “Ingenius idea?”  This is possibly the lamest attempt to make a geek brand cool – but please, don’t pull surfing into this one.   It would not have been so outrageous if they had at least used the stand up paddle surfboard as their digital dream quiver.

Do we really have to start caring about all the Kardashians now? It’s like celebrity Reagan economics. I mean, I could make some really obvious “trickle down” jokes stemming from why Kim Kardashian is famous, but I’m gonna be a lady and pass…

Caption: “Does this board make my a$$ look big? I hope so, ’cause my sister gets all the attention with hers.”

Writer’s Note: I will never drink Sierra Mist again.

Writer’s Shopping List: Find new vodka mixer.

Trust me, it takes a lot of balls to move from Brooklyn to Encinitas for the sole purpose of getting more surf time in your life, and I don’t even have balls. Having tried to surf out of Brooklyn for almost 3 years I finally gave up, quit my job, bought a pick up truck and drove west with dreams of surfable waves dancing in my head. I’ve learned alot since I moved here, most notably? West Coast surfing is way different (read: BETTER) than East Coast surfing. I learned most of my East Coast surfing ways from the crazy Jones Beach Lifeguards and all of my West Coast surfing (so, ahem, all of my REAL surfing) from Jorma Beckstrom. If you don’t know who he is? Sh*t, you sure should. So, if you ever wanted to see the comparison side by side?

I’m not quite sure who is decorating the Cardiff Kook every holiday, but I’m pretty sure they’d be fun to crush a few tall boys with and paddle out.

Happy Easter, SoCal Style!
