MAMA'S DAY 2022.mp4 from SURF FREE OR DIE on Vimeo.
From Sunday May 8th to Friday May 13th, 2022. Five days of overhead waves. Seriously, 5 days worth.
It never really cleaned up, but surfing overhead surf in May? Nobody was about to complain. The whole Mother's Day
theme was carried along with the soundtrack. I used my own music that I wrote and recorded from the mid 70's.
The VINNY Band was a popular Boston/New England band in the 70's-80's. These songs? They crack me up.
There's nothing about them that sounds like surf music to me. But that's what makes it so funny.
It kind of does fit the vibe. Three of these songs were produced by the super talented Steve Sadler.
The highlights? Billy Leibundgut's drone footage adds to the overall vibe. And my favorite?
The version of my song MAMA MIA by Steve Sadler is brilliant. And PLEASE try and watch to
the very end where some of the boys wish their moms a Happy Mother's Day. It's all good.
As always, I hope you enjoy it. All 25 minutes of it. Watch in 1080 or higher
June 5th, 2022 The RUN is 0 out of 0 Weeks.

MY MEMORIAL DAY REFLECTIONS. MY ART OF SURFING PHOTO/ART EXHIBIT OPENING. |
|
The surf families were enjoying the warm weather and listening to the speakers of the day. We had a decent turnout at all four services. I have to say, I really do love this seacoast community. They understand what this day "MEMORIAL DAY & SURF ART SHOWS HEALS ALL WOUNDS."

The verdict came in for the JOHNNY DEPP vs AMBER HEARD trial at the end of last week. And it was not good for Amber. GUILTY AS CHARGED. Now apparently KSM was somehow able to get out of GITMO, and he got to fly out to where Amber was staying, and offer her advice. I think his advice was something like this "ALLAH ARKBAR!" Or something to that effect. One thing is for sure, Khaliddy has still not been able to find his own Mrs Wright. So once again, fingers crossed And so my friends, please take advantage of this weekly photo shop of the mastermind who planned 9-11 and resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians by KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). *Note to self -must pick up a case of CROCODILE TEARS at Home Depot This Week. REST IN PEACE William "Bill" Ritchie June 23,1937-June 4th, 2022 Bill was the father of local surfers Gary and Billy Ritchie. He was also an ex Hampton Police officer. Our most sincere condolences to Gary and Billy and their extended families. REST IN PEACE Karen Moore 1950-2022 Karen was the mother of local surfer Tyler Moore. I know that he was very close to his mother. Our most sincere condolences to Tyler and his family. May your mother rest in everlasting peace. REST IN PEACE Ray Liotta 1954-2022 I always liked Ray Liotta. He was a good actor. REST IN PEACE Dick Brewer Hawaiian Shaper GET WELL SOON to local surfer Mike Keefe! You'll be back in the water before you know it Mike. Just rest up and get stronger brother. We Love you! PLEASE Keep local Surfer/Musician Pete Kowalski in your thoughts and prayers throughout the year. And Please Keep local surfer Bill M. In your thoughts and prayers.
