I can close my eyes and recall just about every memorable right I caught in Long Beach. Come to think of it, everyone you get is memorable. On Saturday night at the New York Surf Film Festival, the music turned a deeper shade of bass when I noticed Dubs was at the controls. About an hour before, people were beginning to wonder where he was when Match told me he was out surfing and on his way in. I went up to say hello and without missing a beat he turned around, took off the headphones said “I got the sickest right this afternoon on my Pavel quad.”

Long time Long Beach surfer Ron Hamilton made sure his old friend doesn’t forget it.

There’s another video out there with more Ay’s and Yo’ being thrown around than on 18th Ave, but this one has some better waves. See the new J.J. Abrams inspired surf video here.

“The blues are mushed up into three different ways
One said go the other two said stay
I woke up this mornin` with the blues three different ways
You know one say go “baby I want to hang up”, the other two said stay.”

Come on, you liked it. Thanks Tyler.

The New York Surf Film Festival will be held at Tribeca Cinemas on September 26th-28th, 2008. Check the website for submission information (the window is closing), and for updates.

Poor, poor Matchy has another blog to do!
