Interview With Christian Saenz, Local HB Upstart!

I've known Christian Saenz dad for a long time. He first started working at Huntington Surf and Sport as a sales guy and has moved up the ladder to be one of the main managers. I really don't think he would approve of his son doing an interview with Bryan Seacrest. Please don't tell him about this interview if you bump into him in HSS.

This interview is the second installment of I.S.I.I, Interesting Surf Industry Interviews! In this episode, Bryan Seacrest interviews Christian Saenz and we get to see what he can do in 1 Week in HB.

Enjoy!

The Inside Scoop at Quik!!!

Is Dane sponsor shopping? There's been some big changes at Quiksilver in recent months. Kelly won 10, Julian went to Nike, Steph joined the team. We sat down with surf team manager Chad Wells to get the inside scoop. Check the video!

A big thanks goes out to David Scales of 1HourinHB.com for filming and editing this video.

Let us know what if you think Kelly will come back for another year, if Dane will jump ship, and how you feel about Julian's departure.

Beach Demo Was a Blast!

Wow the Beach Demo was a blast this past Saturday even though the surf was a meager 1ft!!! Luckily the skies were clear and the air was a brisk 4o degrees to start the morning. Tim Stamps brought down twenty surfboards all shapes and sizes for the kiddies to try out. There were longboards, contemporary shortboards, quad fish, and even some experimental stuff. Future Fins showed up with more fins than you'd see in a fish tank. They had their new killer stuff including the Elevon Quads which some people were lucky enough to try out. Adam from Solspot showed up to do his demo and give his forecasting tips but unfortunately we had some serious technical difficulties with our electrical equipment. Since we didn't have electricity David Scales from One Hour in HB got to surf instead of showing his surf movies. Unexpectedly, Chas's Pit Crew (SB and HB hot groms) showed up and got the opportunity to test ride the stuff and give it a real go. Even a few local pros were there to rip the knee high dribblers.

A special thanks goes out to Stamps Surfboards, Future Fins, Solspot, One Hour in HB, and all the people that came to show their support. Look for a detailed report in our upcoming newsletter with feedback from the test riders themselves!

BEACH DEMO HAS BEEN MOVED TO SATURDAY NOV. 27th

Stamps Surfboard and Futures Fins Demo Presented by Foam E-Z

We’re moving!!...the beach demo to Saturday, November 27th. The demo was originally planned for this Saturday, November 20th but it looks like the weather isn’t going to cooperate with us. We’ve decided to push it back one week to Saturday, November 27th. The weather is looking clear and crisp and we’d rather hang out in the sunshine than tough it out in the rain. This should give everyone enough time to recover from Thanksgiving and a chance to work off a few pounds. Tim Stamps of Stamps Surfboards will be providing all of the boards and Future Fins will be providing all of the fins so you don’t need anything….except a wetsuit. If you want you can even bring your own board down and try out some of the fins too, but why not thrash around on someone else’s board for a while.

Besides the boards and fins we’ll also have some super rad surf videos playing on a flat screen courtesy of 1HRinHB as well as some jams. The guys from SolSpot will be there to show a bitchen demo of how there new site works and some forecasting tips. Of course there’s more, we’ll also be giving away some freebies and have some refreshments so make sure you get there early to get your pick of boards and fins.

Just to re-cap, the demo is still on and it is still on the South Side of the Huntington Beach Pier, we’ve just moved the date to November 27th. So cruise by and check out the latest shapes/designs from Tim Stamps and Futures Fins. See you at the beach!!!
