Phillip – over the rail
Warehouse loading docks. Concrete stairways. Metal railings. To the untrained eye,
these are ugly industrial elements, better off overlooked. But to this group of Goleta boys,
these things are like an empty lineup on a head high day.
Micaiah – 10 set
Phillip – 180
Always on the lookout for the next “secret spot”, Micaiah Furukawa, Eric Anderson, Phillip
Freegard and their friends spend a lot of time in the nooks and crannies of Goleta. Places
you probably don’t even notice.
Eric – indy
Micaiah – 7 set handrail
Micaiah – switch heel
The cost
So when surfers are moaning and groaning about flat surf, these guys always have
another option. The concrete waves never go flat, but when you fall off your board, you
don’t land in water.
Ian – pop shove it
Eric – off the wall
Phillip – f s nosegrind
Micaiah – off the ramp
Micaiah – handrail
Micaiah – switch pop
Eric – off the wall
A lot of these moves translate well into the water, others are just
impossible. Either way, surfers who skate definitely have more options
available, and they’re changing the way we look at riding a board.
Micaiah – f s nosegrind
Eric – off the ramp into the ramp
Eric – big gap
Phillip – kick flip
