  1. Paddled around the pier this day to get to Northside. That was a 1st for me, was pretty epic. Bunch of lobster traps out by Ruby’s that made it extra dicey if you tried to paddle through it. They say an El Niño event is in the works for this summer which means Northside rights could be coooooking 🙌🙌⚡️ Footage courtesy of @surfline and a DM from a friend of a friend at jiu jitsu 😃 @jleblancca Was riding a round pin mini step up 6’0 @lostsurfboards these swells

  2. Is it worth it ?? I say yes. Even though I almost lost my eye to a closeout. Couple things why I like it and don’t… teaches you how to fall in the tube. You can break a magic board. Sometimes it opens up and you get a really deep one. CF said “Your not deep enough if you make it” 😝 Talk to me 🤙🤙🤙 @gopro

  1. “JUMBO PUMPING LOVE” is NOT the name of the hardest rock climb in America. It could have been. So how does a climb gets its name? This story started over 3 decades ago, when a striking, but faint line of pockets - viewed through my binoculars - eventually became one of the most difficult and famous rock climbs in the world. On a cold November day in 1991, perched near the summit of remote Clark Mountain, I embarked on a top down inspection of what was the most king line I ever found. Wild swings into the wall to place bolts revealed section after section of V-hard boulder problems. My psyche was high as I slowly and methodically continued down, placing bolts. It became abundantly clear to me that this entire climb would go, but at a standard much more difficult than the hardest grade in 1991. I thought maybe this would be possible as a multi pitch climb. I tried it, was unable to make it to the halfway anchors, so I set my sights on the other king line to the left which I named Jumbo Pumping Hate (5.14a). Fast forward to 2008, when Chris Sharma redpointed my original king line project. In true Sharma fashion, he brought it to a new level by climbing the entire wall in one very long pitch. He named this “Jumbo Love” and graded it 5.15b. It stood as the hardest and proudest sport climb in America for 14 years. There were a few repeats by America’s strongest sport climbers. In 2013, I belayed Sharma on a hard start (bolted by Jorge Visser) to Jumbo Love. This was like adding a 5.14b, with no rest, to a long 5.15b. I tried to do the math… how hard could this be? The direct start to Jumbo Love remained un-redpointed until October 2022, when Seb Bouin linked it all together. So how does a route get its name? What would Seb name it? Do you honor the history in your name as Sharma did with Jumbo Love, or do you call it something completely different? Seb messaged Chris and me. With a little back and forth, he decided on “Suprême Jumbo Love” (5.15c). Photos tagged: Suprême 2022 Suprême in 2013, 2 photos JPH in the 90s #climbinghistory #originofclimbingroutenames #clarkmountain

  2. Greg Child took this photo of me 2,000 feet up the sheer SE face of El Captain during our first ascent of Lost In America (1985). As a young climber, I aspired to be a businessman, so I brought the Wall Street Journal to some pretty unusual places. I had a lifestyle in mind. With that goal, I learned how to work hard and make it happen. One of the keys to success was being my own boss. #climbinghistory

  3. An iconic shot of Ron Carson on The Titanic (5.12c), during the first ascent in 1987. Recently, I was contacted by Needles pioneer, Patrick Paul, to include this in the Kernvillle Museum, where they will have a section devoted to climbing in the Southern Sierra. This route is still a handful for most climbers. The first ascent party included @tony_yaniro , Ron Carson, Brett Maurer and me.

  1. @caysonpeterson reaping the rewards of a late season strike to the North Shore. Safe to say he’ll be hunkering down in Hawaii until our 'Guava Lane Tour’ in April.

  3. Yesterday we paddled out to honor the memory of George Floyd. Brothers and sisters of our small surf community came together in the name of peace, justice, and equality. We wanted to show that although we live on an isolated rock in the middle of the ocean, there are still ways to let our voices be heard. Today, tomorrow, and everyday we will support every person who rejects this disease of racism plaguing our country. We will stand in solidarity with our black family and all the different races of the world fighting for change. We will try our best to live that Aloha spirit that we always talk about. Most importantly, we will remember that we are all one Ohana and our love for each other contains the power to overcome almost anything. Mahalo to @taleajosephine and @katiewinkhi for organizing such a special event #blacklivesmatter #justiceforgeorgefloyd

  1. Go fast or go home. Surfer: @mikeyfebruary Board: “FEB’S FISH” from @cisurfboards Easily some of the best surfing that I was fortunate enough to witness and shoot in 2024. @jimmymetyko.gallery All images shot during pre-release R&D refinement at Rincon. Below is pulled from Ci’s description: “Our Feb’s Fish is the latest result of Michael February’s never-ending curiosity for exploring new lines through designs shaped by Britt Merrick. Sometimes Mikey’s requests are for original concepts, while other are his new take on a classic design. The latter was the case when he asked Britt for a traditional fish outline but that it have a contemporary engine (modern bottom contours, rocker, etc.) and finely foiled rails so it could be ridden at the highest performance levels possible. During its R&D revisions and refinement, Febs discovered this new fish comfortably covered a wide range of conditions: from dredging tubes in Mainland Mexico, to high lining with ease at Rincon, to effortlessly getting up on rail and hitting tightly arcing turns with full commitment and confidence.” #mikeyfebruary #cisurfboards #brittmerrick #surffast #surfphotography #speedblur

  2. Early images, mostly unseen and unpublished - except the opening image of Tommy on the Clara dried mud pit which was in my book “Shaping Surf History” from @rizzolibooks Freshly sponsored by OP, these images were when Tom first turned pro and were shot one morning in between tour travel back home in Santa Barbara 82’/83’ Prior to this period, Al Merrick was constantly shaping new boards for Tom at times daily. The board Tom’s riding in these images and the board in the Ci store both adorned with that now iconic giant OP logo on the deck and RipCurl laminate running down the stringer were his two board quiver for the time and were the result of all that earlier collaboration, testing and progression between him and Al. These two boards would have been the boards Tom would have been riding when most saw him surf for the first time in person. When did you first see Tom surf? #tomcurren #cisurfboards #almerrick #ripcurl #oceanpacific #thruster

  1. Big announcement… I’m stoked to finally announce that @connollysbar will LIVE ON! . Myself, @mikereinhardtt and our Friends & Family group are honored to carry on the traditions and legacy of this iconic bar! Connollys is more than just a Bar to us. It’s a place that brings the Rockaway community together, a place where memories are made, and a place where family and friends have been gathering since the early 1960's. In other words, it’s a place that feels like home. . People say Mike, what about the frozen Piña Coladas? YES, we will have them! . We look forward to seeing everyone this summer, see y'all Memorial Day weekend! . LFG SUMMER 2022

Still surfing, still KookMike 🏄🏽‍♂️ Still teaching you how to surf and making your coffees ☕️ If you or anyone you know is looking to buy, sell, or just talk real estate, I’d love to connect.
