Stewart on VBS.TV!

January 23rd, 2008 by bbr | Posted in Video

Check out this cool Mike Stewart mini-doc on VBS.TV. Mike drops knowledge on bodyboarding, bodysurfing, towing in, public perception, and family life. With comments by everyone from Mark Cunningham to Matt Archibold to Buttons to Stewy’s own family as well as some virgin footage of Mike getting slotted in Indo, this is definitely not to be missed. Check the quotes and framies below:

“I’m a bodyboarder and I don’t really care.” - Stewy responding to how the general public perceives bodyboarding

“He’s sold his soul to someone for whatever he’s doing.” - Thomas Campbell

“Mike’s arguably the best surfer out at Pipeline. When you look at lifetime achievement, I think he’s got it.” - Mark Cunningham on Stewy’s Pipe domination

“I love to bodyboard, feels like you’re on a go-cart or something.” - Stewy getting deep

January 11th, 2008 by bbr | Posted in Contests

SOUTH PONTO JETTY (not Seaside!)
Saturday, January 12th
Parking lot opens at 6:00 A.M
Check in at 7:00 A.M
First heat at 8:00 A.M

From 5-South: “It’s krew vs. krew, three riders per krew, 100 bucks per team. This contest is open to anyone who wants to enter. For more info call 1-619-948-9074. Thanks and see you there!!”

A rumored appearance by Paul Roach has the entire state frothing over this contest. Other possible appearances include legend Chris Won, The Inside’s Scotty Carter, SD ripper Jeff Bragg, and Pismo destroyer Brett Roldan. With a solid swell in the water this could be a contest to remember.

From last year:

Roldy got 5 on it.
