those are sweet pics.....we're trying to get ice on a shortie.....He kills it and has more energy than anyone I know even half his YOUNG age...
: I guess were all waiting on Ice to give us the
: official "there's waves, go
: surfing" call. We all rely so
: heavily on Ice's forecasts, that I for one
: have charged 8 hour trips solely on his
: testimony. I can never say that he has led
: me a stray or made the wrong call, but
: isn't it time for others to shine? No one
: doubts Ice's weather prowness, and he will
: always be the top-dog weather guru in my
: mind, but haven't we learned enough that
: we can now talk amoungst ourselves and
: figure out whats going to happen? Yes of
: course he has the multi-million dollar
: equipment behind him, but that really aids
: in long term forecasts. We all have the
: tools, (thanks to Grieg and Stafford), to
: have a general idea of swell height,
: direction, period, wind speeds and wind
: direction one or two days before the swell
: hits. Do you really need more time then
: that? Now I admit when hurricane season
: rolls around Ice can tell ya where to
: be,when to be there, and what to be
: riding, but how many of us really don't
: know when there are going to be waves in
: our area? Now I know I am going to get
: burned at the stake for this, this is
: nothing against Ice, and I personally suck
: at wave prediction. I just want us to grow
: as a surfing community and let some of our
: other up and coming forecasters, like MPT
: and the guy who Ice inspired to go to
: Meterology school, step into the lime
: light. Ice will always be there to let us
: know if our predictions are leading people
: astray. The bottom line is that if Ice
: keeps feeding us so much we're going to
: get fat and lazy and when Swell.com scoops
: him up and starts charging us, we're all
: going to be left holding the bag. Who is
: going to step up if that happens? Ice you
: know I love you, and this is nothing
: against you, so everyone please don't key
: my car.
: Oh yea I think were going to have waves
: saturday 
: Our Guru riding the waves he predicted
