Links of the Week: Surge Online Mag coming soon. Look for a Cale Moore interview in issue #1. Secondly, if you’re in the Orange County area then go support fellow sponger Matt Hamilton tonight at Hennesseys in Dana Point.

Babby’s premiere of Flowing Like Water went down without a hitch back in April. Willie set up the venue at Hoagies in Avila Beach, where a nice little crew of area spongers gathered for the viewing. You can check Manny Vargas’ photos from the event here. Red Dog was luckily on hand with the digi for the afterparty as well. Ralph took over the reigns at that point and showed the visitors a good time out and about in San Luis:

Roldy also sent in a few randoms frames a while back: a new, promising righthander sprinkled between some random lifestyle shots while checking waves up north.

Recently Manager Schloonis took a break from his vigorous schedule of booking shows and online poker to get some time behind the lens as well with some quality results below:

Well today saw mixed results. On the one hand we had a Lakers victory (which saw them crowned as this year’s champs) along with a whale sighting in the late morning. On the other hand, we lost two ADCP’s (underwater current/wave meters) due to the vicious waves that have cyclically been splashing up against FLIP’s hull. We spotted an issue with the cables/cable tray that winds its way down from our computers to a depth of about 50 feet a few days ago. We knew it would only be a matter of time from all the chaffing against random bolts and hooks that live on the body of FLIP. Luckily we still have one ADCP in tact to give a measure of the lower underlying currents. We also had some issues calibrating one of Peter’s instruments. It seemed there were some problems with the pressure sensor which I’ll investigate manana with the manufacturer.

6/16/10
A small break in the wind this morning allowed us to clean some of the windows/lenses of the optical equipment from days of salt abuse. Other than that it was business as usual, holed up in our tight lab space sifting through piles of data to catch problems before they balloon. We did have one malfunctioning computer and power supply that kept us busy as well as some more background CAD. The Sproul had taken refuge from the weather in SF the past couple days but reemerged today as conditions calmed slightly. Along with them we had two planes overhead for a change. My boss’ fingerprints are all over this experiment. Three of his former students are chief scientists on FLIP (Fabrice Veron), the Sproul (Eric Terrill), the Partenavia aircraft (Leonel Romero) with one of his employees leading the Twin Otter aircraft (Luc Lenain). Throw in Peter and myself and a couple of undergrads who have helped out and you may as well change this from the HIRES experiment to the Melville experiment.

6/15/10
Groundhog day has already begun and we’re only at the 1/3 mark. Staying out of the wind, monitoring data, watching a little World Cup, a solid Lakers victory, three more good meals, and a late night showing of Three Amigos. I’ve been working on some background CAD of our whole instrumentation setup as well. All we can do now is look from afar until things settle down and we can work on the booms again. Once things settle down we will have a large checklist of daily operations: cleaning windows/lenses of the sea spray, deploying underwater instruments, and swapping out batteries and hard drives. Tomorrow a second airplane will join in on the surveying work from above. These planes are also equipped with a variety of cameras, laser wave gauges, and atmospheric sensors.

6/14/10
Today was the most extreme weather of the trip. Winds were on it early and increased up into the 40 knot range with some 50 knot gusts. I worked on getting the windcube settings dialed in and doing some general monitoring of data as it was too rough to do any work on the booms or deploy anymore underwater instruments. This evening around 7 we had a huge wave hit FLIP that gave us a good shaking. We checked the wave gauges and saw that it was in fact a 30 foot wave that was the cause. Significant wave heights max’d out at around 17 feet in the afternoon.

Yesterday morning one of the scientists transferred over to the Sproul so we are down to the final 12 man crew that will remain here for the rest of the trip: Tom (Captain - Greek), Terry (Crew - Portuguese), Johnny (Crew - San Diego), Dave (Crew - San Diego), Mike (Cook - Idaho), Peter (Scripps - Canada), Zach (Univ Delaware - New York), Fabrice (Univ Delaware - France), Jesus (UC Irvine - Mexico), Tihomir (Johns Hopkins - Bulgaria), Ben (Scripps - Miami) and myself. The chemistry is good and I am hopeful that it will last for the next 4 weeks.

6/13/10
Today started off calm for a change. Peter deployed one of his “Contraptions” that will be key in his long quest for a PhD. This is a large frame with a collection of turbulence measuring instruments that is lowered into the water on a winch off the opposite port boom. Peter worked his tail off to get this thing ready so it is nice to see some of his work pay off as one entered the water and successfully recorded data in the afternoon. This particular frame will be stationary just under the troughs of the waves with two more additional frames to come later that will profile down to depths of up to 150 feet. We also deployed the Windcube, which is a big pain of a box that measures vertical wind profiles. The difference is we adapted it with a mirror system to measure horizontal winds that are affected by wave motion. Finally! This was the last item to be installed above the boom so we’ve been celebrating with Snickers/E’claire/Klondike/Oreo ice cream bars, sherbert push pops, Jolly Ranchers, Kit Kats, and Hershey kisses. There are still two more “Contraptions” and another small float to go in the water but we’ll have to wait for calmer weather as again the wind/waves intensified in the late afternoon with even more severe conditions on the forecast.

6/12/10
A break in the weather today meant we could fix a couple malfunctioning instruments and finish up some unfinished details. We cleaned windows and washed the salt off of instruments that withstood some heavy sea spray treatment over the past couple of days. We also got one of the previously problematic laser wave gauges back on track. We’re getting close to being done with boom deployments. Another weather event is coming in a few days so there is pressure to get everything done in time. USA world cup tie + lamb ribs for dinner was a nice touch.

6/11/10
Today work was called off on the booms once again as high wind/waves persisted. Luckily we’re getting tv coverage out of Santa Rosa. Univision + ABC = NBA Finals and World Cup action. We were able to add Peter’s Aquadopp float into the mix which was quite a task considering the conditions. It is accompanied by another camera on the top deck to couple breaking waves with turbulence measurements. We also continued setting up auto backup batch files to fire stuff from our computers to our two servers hourly. Right now we have 16 computers chugging along not including our stack of laptops and spare computers. Luckily the beanbags carried over from the last trip to Hawaii. There is not much space in the lab area. If you can’t get dibs on the beanbags then you’re stuck sitting on miscellaneous instrument boxes and a few old folding chairs monitoring data and listening to the stories from the crew.

6/10/10
Tom called off all work on the booms today as the winds increased through the night and into the afternoon. In this case there’s very little you can do but sit back and watch mother nature’s show. I set up some automatic backup of data from the computers to our server. We brought out over 100 terabytes of hard disk space that will predominately be filled with imagery - especially from the stereo visible and infrared cameras. Other than that we monitored all of our data streams and altered settings to suit the lighting and wind/waves changes that take place during the day. There are still a few other instruments to deploy underwater but we will have to wait until conditions subside to deploy them.

By the afternoon wind gusts were up to 50 mph with some waves reaching the 16-18 foot range. It was pretty spectacular. Any of the other Scripps ships would be a sea-sickening mess, but not the FLIP. We got some real quality LIDAR data which uses a scanning laser to finely measure passing waves and some good video from atop the crow’s nest to study whitecaps. My boss Luc flew passes over using a twin otter today that is equipped with an eliptical scanning laser, some more cameras, another laser wave gauge, an infrared camera and a sea surface temperature instrument. All in all a good day topped off with our first bbq meal out on the deck. Also, I just have to say that Captain Tom is his usual story-telling, trash-talking self. He is a legend.

6/9/10
Today we took advantage of the good weather. The Gordon Sproul launched their small boat so we could transfer all our trash and get some new supplies. We installed a camera up on the crow’s nest to look at white caps, two accelerometers to compensate for FLIP’s motion, a second scanning laser, several more wave gauges, focused/cleaned/calibrated a couple cameras, and troubleshot a couple issues including the failure of one of our main power supplies and a couple instruments from our weather station. We lost one of our crew over to the Sproul as well so we are down to 13. This makes things a little more comfortable then the capacity level of 16. Heavy winds/waves predicted for tomorrow.

6/8/10
I’m beat. A lot more instrumentation in some heavy winds. The majority of our time today was spent spooling cables. From the end of the boom to our computers is about 120 feet. Multiply that by about 50 cables and the tally becomes pretty high. Plenty more work to do tomorrow with conditions expected to calm down a bit. We’d like to get most everything installed tomorrow while it is calm as a big system is projected to come our way for Thursday/Friday. There are some reports of 40 knot winds and 15 foot seas which would be awesome. Got to see the last 8 minutes of the Laker game - stoked on Fisher pulling through in the crunch as usual. Been killing the Snickers ice cream bars too.

6/7/10
Well the wind/waves only increased overnight. Tom called off all work on the booms today as things picked up to the 35 knot range with gusts up to 40. The Sproul looks like a little rubber ducky in the ugly Pacific so I’m pretty happy to be on FLIP at the moment. With much work still on the plate, we kept ourselves busy with some other non-boom busy work: spooling cables, preparing the crow’s nest large field of view and stereo cameras, installing the winches and winch controller on the lower deck, and preparing a bunch of boom mounts in hope of installing more equipment tomorrow on the boom. Conditions should become more tame over the next two days before things get wild again for Thursday/Friday so we’re hoping to get most everything out and running to capture this forecasted event. I attached a pdf with a schematic of our projected layout of instrumentation below.
FLIP Instrumentation (PDF)

6/6/10
Today was a full on instrumentation day from dawn til dusk. We finished installing the weather station which has two wind sensors for wind speed/direction, two carbon dioxide sensors for gas exchange from wave breaking, a tempertature/humidity sensor, a radiometer for long and short wave solar radiation, GPS for position and heading, and two accelerometers to correct for movement of the booms. Also, we deployed the “Cadillac” (a CO2 marking head, video camera, laser altimeter, and infrared camera) for measuring currents and heat exchange due to wave breaking, a stereo visible and stereo IR system for extracting wave slope and heat exchange information, and a scanning laser for watching wave evolution. Also of note, the weather has been mild the past couple days but the wind picked up vigorously this afternoon to 25 knots from a dead calm at noon. Throw in the 55 degree air temps and it was pretty darn chilly working out on the booms this evening. More to come manana.

6/5/10
Another solid 15 hour day clocked aboard FLIP. These are the long days that Peter and I are accustomed to from our last trip to Hawaii. Luckily we have two others in our group to help out with things this time around - although we have added several additional instruments to the mix. Fabrice (aka Fabulous), a professor at the University of Delaware (and an ex-student of my boss), and Zach (aka jjjaaccc), a graduate student of Fabrice’s, have joined us this time around. The tandem are a good addition; Fabrice is French and knows karate so he’s pretty darn cool and Zach is from New York and provides constant comedic input.

Today Tom and his crew were able to get all three of the booms down. These booms are long cantilever structures where we can dangle all our instruments out away from the hull of FLIP. The length is advantageous since the influence of FLIP on the surrounding wave field is lessened the further outboard you take measurements. Deploying the booms took longer than expected, so in the interim Peter dialed in the settings of the ADCPs while I continued some previous CAD boom models that we will use to document our instrument locations. Once Tom got our boom down in the afternoon, we were out installing instrument mounts and some of our weather station and a few small laser wave gauges. Not a bad start but lots still to be done! Also, there was a pretty heavy accident that occurred when a member of another group got his hand caught when installing the massive WAMOS tower on the upper deck. Luckily he is ok but it caused quite a stir.

6/4/10
Today was pretty hectic. We were up early to “go vertical” as Tom says. This never gets old. Preparations take several hours to secure equipment on all the decks from 6 figure instruments right on down to our bedding. We also wait while the Sproul comes to the vicinity to report current speeds and directions to predict our motion once we’ve unhitched from the Sioux. We flipped mid-morning in some thick, drizzly fog so I wasn’t able to record any video. The anchor dropping commenced shortly after. After the mooring experience in the Santa Barbara Channel, this went surprisingly smooth. The calm seas definitely helped and we were done with this right after lunch. This afternoon we were able to erect the WAMOS tower on the top of FLIP for recording waves and currents via radar. A big portion of this experiment will be the calibration and qualification of the measurements from this device. This evening we prepared the lab space. It is difficult to describe the amount of boxes upon boxes of science crap that were loaded in the bowels of FLIP last Friday, but we sifted through a good portion of it begrudgingly and got our floor space and computer situation figured out. Our servers were then fired up and synced to GPS, the FLIP heading was sampled, and the ADCPs (that are now below us) were powered on and setup for recording. It is nice to see the very first data trickling in with much more in store tomorrow.

6/3/10
Only three days in and things are already feeling pretty Ground Hog Day-ish. Luckily the ocean did sort itself out overnight as we continued northward with much calmer seas today. Peter and I made a few more adjustments to the ADCPs but other than that there was plenty of lurking on board. We watched the new Sherlock Holmes movie and got some intermittent tv coverage of the Laker game this evening which was a nice initial victory for the purple and gold. Overcast conditions finally cleared this afternoon and things got warm enough to actually enjoy some time on the bow where we witnessed a pack of dolphins playing around in our wake. Today we also discovered our first FLIP problem with a faulty freezer in the galley being the culprit. We ordered a new one that we will hopefully be able to transfer over tomorrow when our accompanying ship, the Gordon Sproul, arrives on location via Monterey. Tomorrow marks a big day for many reasons as we’ll be up at 5 am to prepare for going vertical, setting the anchors, and clearing up the lab space from our massive instrument pile. Currently we’re about 40 miles off of the coast of Half Moon Bay cruising at about 7 mph to Bodega Bay behind the Sioux.

6/2/10
We live to tug another day. Wire to wire this was another 24 hours in the wake of the Sioux, venturing up the California coastline to our present position directly west of Morro Bay. After transiting outside of the shadow of Point Conception around midday, we slowed our speed down to a measly 8 mph as conditions got pretty chaotic with waves regularly spilling over the bow. In turn this has meant another day of lounging and keeping sane mostly indoors until the next meal is served. Computers and books don’t mix well with my stomach under the present sea state so I slept some more and zoned out through a couple of movies. The finale tonight was pretty classic with 10 grown men cramped in a small swaying icebox of a room glued to Clint Eastwood’s Josie Wales. Peter and I also did some adjustments to the ADCP’s on the hull of FLIP to make sure the cables and orientation were squared away. Once FLIP goes vertical these current measuring devices won’t be accessible at about 50 feet deep so it was good to get that sorted out in the interim.

6/1/10
Yeehawww we’ve finally made it - but of course not without a few last minute hiccups. Currently our crew of 14 is on course off of the coast of Oceanside, weaving our way through the Channel Islands in route to the Bodega Bay area behind the USNS tugboat, Sioux. The preparation has mounted over the past few weeks for this forthcoming 42 day cruise. This culminated in a final Memorial Day weekend bananza back at the lab alongside the ever sleep deprived student and good friend of mine, Peter Sutherland. My hands are stained with Scotchcast resin and anti-seize from some last minute preparation that prevented us from enjoying a rare three day weekend in sunny San Diego. But there is now a deepening sense of relief that is slowly soaking in with the cool ocean breeze and the familiar comfort of Captain Tom Golfinos’ animated stories upon transit. Couple that with an extended nap in my narrow bunk between lunch and dinner and I’d almost be feeling back to normal if it wasn’t for the slow logrolling motion of FLIP on the presently mellow seas.

I’m planning on making a Mexico campaign in July and possibly scrapping the IBA Puerto contest while I’m down there. I’m hoping to round up some of the Pismo crew to lay down some representation in mainland. I wanted to head to South America for the Peru and Chile contests but couldn’t pull it off so mainland will have to do! That Arica contest looks sick every year they have it, so next year I will have to make it happen. According to the IBA director the tour would like to have ten-world tour contests with purses up to one hundred grand within the next three years. That would be huge for bodyboarding especially on an international level!

Other than that, mellow style in Hawaii. Swimming has taken over the bodyboarding routine along with shoulder rehab and NBA playoffs! Two knew blogs I saw recently that are worth scoping: Pastey’s and Damian King’s!!!! Here’s a link to the Puerto contest as well could be sick check it!!! Also I attached some random pics for your viewing pleasure!

We went through our teeming photo archives to search out a single headshot when we first started to piece together this interview. Certainly there’d be a closely cropped shot of his mug to mix in with the action photos, right? Wrong. But that’s just Cale - hardly imposing out of the water: mild mannered, humble, softspoken, and too often going unnoticed. (Fittingly, every photo that we did find of him he was offcenter, out of focus, and cruising with an alcoholic sidekick in hand.) Rest assured the same can’t be said for his riding in the water and that’s why we’re here. You just can’t sweep this much talent under the rug. Ladies and gents, the Cale Moore interview.

Hailing from Los Osos, Cale was always on the other end of the SLO county bodyboarding spectrum. His cool, calm, and collected demeanor represented a stark contrast from the rather loud, obnoxious, and vulgar Pismo spongers to the south. An isolated bodyboarder living in a small, standup-dominated community, Cale not only acted differently but also rode waves differently than his south county counterparts. To keep up with the fast and hollow reefs that abound in his neck of the woods and to evade the scrutiny of the hardened locals, Cale took notes from the areas’ fiberheads that he often shared the lineup with. Thus his dropknee approach evolved through the years into a case study on pure, down the line speed. The cruisy lazy dk stance that overruns most friendly Cali beachies won’t fly here. Pumping down the line with a narrow stance and a poised forward lean, Cale has earned every inch of open face real estate that he’s carved up after years of honing his skills in his own backyard.

Cale, let the readers familiarize themselves with you – age, residence, and how you started on the boog?

I’m 25 years old. I was born in Huntington Beach before moving to Los Osos when I was a baby. My Parents were your average southern California beach bums, so they naturally raised me and my 3 brothers at the beach. I got my first Toobs Bodyboard in 1988, when I was 4 and have been loving it ever since.

How was it growing up in the small community of Los Osos? How strong was the standup influence and how did it affect your style of riding?

Growing up in Los Osos was probably the same as growing up in any small town; you had to make your own fun. Luckily for me there were a handful of surf spots a short distance away and I had an older brother to drive me to them.

The catch about the surf spots in my backyard was that they were dominated by stand-up surfers who had a hard time wrapping their mind around why anyone would want to ride a bodyboard. The only reason that I didn’t start riding a surfboard was because my older brother Ryan rode a bodyboard. Other than Ryan and Marcos from Toobs, there were very few bodyboarders that I consistently rode waves with. Because of this, I had no option other than watching how the local surfers rode waves, so I took from them what I could apply to dropknee.

Plain and simple you put some of the most miles on your rig of anyone that I know while searching out spots. This can bring about great rewards but even greater frustrations. Generally speaking what is it like living on the Central Coast as a bodyboarder and what are your favorite and least favorite times of the year along this length of coastline?

Since I first got my drivers license I had an obsession with finding good waves and an empty line-up. I would hear stories about perfect waves to the north but was never given directions. This led to trying to scour every inch of coastline from Ragged Point to my hometown in all types of conditions. It took a long time to figure out where the legitimate spots were. This stretch of coastline could be the most frustrating place in the world because even when the reports are good it will still spite you half the time. On the other hand, when everything comes together, the line-ups are empty and it all becomes worthwhile.

It seems that there are only a few months out of the year that produce good waves along the Central Coast. In the spring I’ll spend more time doing other hobbies away from the ocean, due to relentless onshore winds and upwelling that make bad waves extra cold and miserable. The summer brings fog that makes me lose my mind. In fall and winter I try to work less so I can be on it when it’s good. Being a bodyboarder along the Central Coast is great as long as you have other interests when the waves are bad.

In the summer of 2007 you finally got a proper Pismo introduction down in mainland Mexico. Did it go as you might have expected or did your perception change regarding either Pismo or Mexico?

Before meeting up with that group in Mexico (for my first real surf trip), I already new that they were pretty much fearless in the water, so I had to prepare myself to step it up. What I didn’t know was what can happen when the waves are flat. They really opened my eyes as to what was possible on the dance floor and how much tequila could be consumed in a week. My perception changed on both Mexico and Pismo and it was a life changing trip.

You juggle jobs for the Morro Bay Harbor Patrol, as a Morro Bay lifeguard supervisor, and as a commercial fisherman. You ever see any crazy shit while on the job? How do you find the time to surf?

I really just can’t get enough of the ocean. As far as crazy shit I have seen a car crash and a boat crash on the same beach. My line of work has shown me how stupid some people can be. I’ve been commercial fishing with my dad since I can remember. Working in such an uncontrolled environment makes every trip seem crazy. I have seen many sea creatures.

Like many people with the surf bug, you know you need to have a flexible schedule to get the waves at their best. The only time I work full time is in the summer lifeguarding. Even then I try to have a backup just in case the waves are too good to miss. The reality of a full time job is getting closer and I’ll have to take what I can get for waves then, but that also means more money for planned surf trips.

How long were you in Nicaragua last summer and how did the waves there suit dropknee? Besides the waves, what was your favorite part about Nicaragua?

I was in Nicaragua for just over 2 weeks last fall. I was planning to go to Mexico but due to some issues renting a car I decided to try something new. I didn’t know much about Nicaragua at the time, only that you could post up in one place and have easy access to multiple waves. The waves were small most of the trip, but when the swell picked up it was a dropknee wonderland with perfectly groomed head high waves. You could walk one way and get bowly lefts or go the other and have a perfect right sandbar all to yourself.

Even though there were scorpions and wasps inhabiting my room and a random sketchy guy with a sawed off shotgun nearby, I really enjoyed how people lived there. The locals still used Ox driven carts and rode around on horses. It was kinda like the wild west. Even with the flat spells I thought it was paradise and will definitely go back one day.

You have been sending us some sick photos lately both in front of and behind the lens. How did you become involved with photography and where do you plan to take it? What other non-surfing activities are you interested in?

I bought my first camera (a Canon Rebel XT) about 5 years ago because I thought it would be a good hobby and I always found myself in situations where I wish I had a camera. Since then I taught myself how to use my camera, figuring it out as I went. I bought a Buzztech water housing that I have been experimenting with and I am stoked on some off the pictures that I took. I recently started making frames out of plywood and am planning on making a collection of my best pictures so I can do an art show or something. Other than bodyboarding and shooting photos I also skateboard a lot in the spring and ride my longboard and hike in the summer.

Any future trips in the works? What are your plans for the next couple years?

With bad waves and cold water most of the year I am always planning on shedding my wetsuit and getting some warm water barrels. Kellen Keene and I have some plans in the works by the name of Project X, it involves purchased land in a foreign country and a real long drive in my old pick-up. I have also been building an 18′ Boston Whaler hull from the deck up so I’ll have a nice boat to get to all the places that are inaccessible from land. As far as the next few years go, I plan on kicking around on my boogie and living happily.
