Did you know San Francisco hosted the greenest surf contest ever, and possibly the greenest athletic event in the world? You may know that Kelly Slater won his 11th World Title (twice), but this is the story behind the story.

Do you know what it takes to create an athletic event which diverts 90% of waste away from the landfill? While waste diversion is just a piece of the puzzle (see the full breakdown @ Sustainable Surf: Final Report), it required constant supervision and effort to reach the goal of 90%.

Local non-profits Sustainable Surf, the SF chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Wastebusters, and the Ocean Beach community came together to create the greenest World Championship Tour contest ever.

Photographing a surfboard can only be done so many ways, and this was a new one for me. Ocean Beach local Mark Valenta showed us his quiver and I was able to reflect his neighborhood in his single fin. @jweiand/obb

See the whole quiver, including a sweet Paipo, over at Ocean Beach Bulletin

My cousin once told me “You know it’s big when the tail of your board is just as pointy as the nose.” Ocean Beach, 2009.

This is a quick portrait of local ripper Andy Olive.  The Bulletin has begun a new feature called “Show Us Your Quiver,” where local surfers expose their OB surf sticks.  Andy is someone I have seen in the water a number of times, and I’m stoked I got the opportunity to shoot his photo along with his boards and truck.  Check out what he’s doing over at San Franpsycho.

To answer something you may be thinking, YES the Danny Hess twin fin is as rad as it looks, and YES that is a Danny Hess handplane in the wheel.  Jon Weiand

Check out details on all the boards, and some funny anecdotes as told by Andy himself at the Ocean Beach Bulletin

The winds shifted for about two hours from stiff onshores to moderate to light offshores with no one out.  It takes dedication and a flexible schedule to catch it on a day like this.  This wave was one in a thousand.  Oh and I did not fake the lighting, I saw a split in the clouds and waited for some swell to hit this bar.  Jon Weiand

Two men survey the damage at the Sloat Blvd and Great Hwy parking lot in San Francisco after the storms of the 2009/2010 winter season January 29, 2010.  Due to the amount of damage, and its proximity to nearby sewage pipes,  the City declared a state of emergency.  Jon Weiand
