JALAMA EXPRESSION SESSION 2009

Randy Phillips report

Jalama kicked off Thursday afternoon with Tao Berman and me as we began our practice sessions for kayak tow-ins with the Red Bull PWC (personal water craft).

Friday the early surf crew started to filter into Jalama with a great session to be had at “T’s” (aka Tarantulas) in the morning. The report was that solid 8’ faces were rule of the day on the right-handers with the board surfers giving our butt surfers lots of room to do their thing. Sat. surf had decreased to shoulder high with good conditions in the morning denigrating in the afternoon to 8’ wind blown storm surf – perfect for more tow–in practice. Look for the still photos (by Jim Grossman) of Tao and Vince getting air on some crazy tow-outs. Around 35 people attended the Class V Surf Dogs BBQ Sat. night with the now famous Broken Paddle Margaritas flowing as freely as the surf related B.S.

The evening was topped off by Taylor’s videos of the day’s surf highlights being shown to the hearty crew around the campfire. Sunday morning dawned with near perfect conditions and 4 – 6’ A framed peaks and a nice offshore wind to groom them to perfection. It was an appropriate way to bring to close the 13th annual Jalama Expression Session. Thanks to all who attended. Randy & Mickey.

The event was awesome as per usual thanks to Randy Phillips, Mickey Stowell and the rest of the Class V Surfdogs. I showed up early Saturday and I was ready to surf the Reaction. I was greeted some really fun 2-4 foot waves right at the camp area. Some had gone down to Tarantulas, but, I figured 'Why paddle all the way down there" for I had all these fun looking waves to myself! A super fun time and others finally got out that and got some.

Later that Saturday good ol' Tao Berman showed us how it was done doing some tow in practice. Not an easy day for that! Choppy and just plain difficult to even hold on, much less get some big air. Fun nonetheless, though, and I am very sure we gave the 'Peanut Gallery' something to watch.

These photos are from the session that Taylor Burch, Matt Radis, Ian (From HB), Tao Berman, Jim Grossman, and Randy Phillips had on Sunday morning. Really NICE waves and it was really Jim who got a really nice aerial!

Nice job to all and cannot wait for next year!

JALAMA EXPRESSION SESSION / CALIFORNIA 2008 / 12nd EDITION

JALAMA EXPRESSION SESSION / REPORT by TAYLOR BURCH / 12ª edição / 6 e 7 DEZEMBRO 2008

Quando entrevistámos Randy Phillips, o tema era incontornável. Para além de reputado designer de surfkayaks, Randy tem no currículo a realização da Jalama Expression Session desde 1996. Este ano, comemorou a 12ª edição como sempre: kayaksurf do melhor e, segundo as palavras do próprio, "Um evento onde não existem regras de admissão, júris ou regras – só é preciso sacar grandes manobras para serem apreciadas durante o barbecue de sábado à noite."

Just a small report form the 12nd Edition of Jalama Expression Session, Santa Barbara, California. Congratulations once more Randy and thanks for the videos (Taylor Burch) and photos /Michey Stowell).
