Some Easter Weekend Southern Hemi action!

SoCal enjoyed some decent early season south swell action and all the preferred summer spots like The Wedge came to life. Our team riders Collin Goddard and Beans were on it like flies on s#$% (all photos by Vick Goddard):

Collin Goddard defies the odds!

Local San Clemente team rider Collin Goddard was turning heads on the local competition scene here in SoCal when the unthinkable happened on November 9, 2010. He was spearfishing with buddies in South Laguna when they decided to take a break and do a popular cliff jump in Monarch Bay. Collin had done the 60-foot leap before and didn’t think much of it when he hucked himself off the cliff on a low tide day in early November. That’s where things when horribly awry.
As he hit the water, his body angle was a bit off, causing him to sort of “fold” at the waist, buckling discs and bones in his back to the point that he thought he had done some damage, but figured it was a simple pulled muscle. He tried to “swim it off” to no avail. By the time he reached the beach, he had to be helped out of the water. He figured he’d tell his buddies to keep spearfishing while he shook it off, but as he put it, “The pain was too intense”. He managed to drag himself up over 100 stairs to the road where a friend drove him home, and eventually his dad took him to the ER. Several hours and MRI’s later, he was diagnosed with some serious back injuries that left him inches from permanent paralysis, so he was immobilized immediately and stayed that was for several weeks.
Collin kept busy honing his video gaming skills and trying to keep his sanity, and now, nearly two months later is walking around just fine in his “turtle shell” brace to keep his midsection from bending and re-damaging the bones and discs. After the brace comes off, he’ll get into a month of physical therapy and then be back in action. He plans to spend most of the winter 2011/2012 in Hawaii.

Our illustrious team warrior Brian Stoehr cashed in on that huge east coast snowstorm with a post-storm sesh in the Maryland/Delaware area. Just a few patches of snow to trudge through to get into the water, but the trek, as you can see, was more than worth it!

Beanz update for the blog dog…..

eBodyboarding.com — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:20:25 +0000

The new zoning on the central coast has been tough lately with all my school work. I have been scoring some incredible days though. Winter swells hit harder up here than down south and I’m sure this will improve my surfing. Since I’ve settled in here, Anthony Savoji and filmer Rob Isambert cruised up for some Fall action. Here are some samples of this of the new area. Rob is close to finishing Ring of Fire 2 and I’m pumped to get a personal segment! We have been working hard for the last few years so get ready for ROF2.

Drew Erichson’s East Coast Report

Drew Erichson — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:08:22 +0000

Hey Guys Drew Erichson here giving you an update on how the East Coast has been going. Well since me and the four other cali guys arrived here last Saturday there has been waves almost every day. With the hurricanes hitting the East Coast its made for some exceptional days. But besides waves we have been occupied with the pool, jacuzzi, and pool table that Rob Mack’s house has. So stoked we get to crash at his house and get the 411 on all the fun spots and good stuff in Jersey.

Now to the USBA Jenks Pro, which has been underway since Tuesday. Starting off with the Mens Pro which had the standouts of Jacob Romero, Jeff Hubbard, and fellow Ebodyboaridng team rider Brian Stoehr. Unfortunately I was inched out in my heat which many were saying should have been a final in itself. Amateur is set to run for Saturday and today the Team Challenge will be going which will consist of three riders from Hawaii, California, New Jersey, and a international team.

Well thats all I got for you now and stay tuned for more updates.
