If you’re a surfer, you’ll probably agree that the sport is hard on the body. You’re playing on an unstable surface with uncertain elements. Most spots in Indonesia aren’t for the slight of bicep or faint of heart, you’re often battling sharp reefs or 5 knots current (at Nusa Dua) to make it out. How, then, can you keep your body primed for the…

Wow! It's been a while since I've updated anything on this site (surf and work getting in the way). It's great to see the new members like SurfPoet, Erik, Jenny, Mikey, and Rod joining Surf Mondial. Welcome! Let's keep it going.
I run a couple other sites and know that it takes a lot to build traffic and get members, but this is actually moving along quite well for a social network. The goal is really to have the site contain content that is generated by members like you, rather than me the Bar…

Call me crazy, but it looks like Cupid came a little late this year. His arrows are starting to point offshore.

For those not in the area, blue is the water of the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean on the left. See the resemblance?

Just a quick shout out to
Nik who joined us today. Looks like he's a New Yorker who surfs the cement. Let's keep this going. Spread the word and start putting up content. This could be fun. Who knows, maybe we'll all get invited to Brazil for the next Copa Mundial!

This is going to be the place for the entire surfing world to come together and be social. I hope. With a little help, and some good blogging and photo skills, it will happen. I hope you join me on this journey, then invite me to surf your waves when I'm in your town. You can surf mine, but they aren't that great.
