If you do NOT take advantage of it, shortboarders may respect you for it. Remember, there are plenty of waves for everyone. • If you know how to get all the waves, give one up and make a friend, there is no need to hog.

Johnny DeRouenPhotos by Eddy Raposa
Wrtten by Mr. X
The story of Johnny DeRouen begins in the bayous of Louisiana, moves through the South Bay, and now lands
on the local beaches of North O.C. Johnny is cut from the wood of old growth forest and though a solid citizen, father and family man, there is a smoldering ember of true rebellion just below the surface. Johnny embodies the prankster surfer spirit and the fi erce loyalty to friends of a bygone era. Johnny’s surfi ng is also loyal to traditions of classic approach. A master at subtle positioning, Johnny’s surfi ng has nothing superfl uous about it. There is no attempt to make the wave to be some-thing it is not. Flow is apparent at all times with speed allowed rather than forced. Johnny also ex-hibits power moves, putting his 35 pound Foam & Glass round pintail fully on rail as he sets up for the speed run with a soul-arch bottom turn or hits the brakes with a full gouging cutback. Johnny loves to add personal touches to his solid approach with classic hand gestures, head bobs, parallel tube crouches and the occasional switchfoot.
Johnny’s fi rst home in California was the South Bay where he grew up surfi ng Hermosa and El Porto, as well as Palos Verde Cove and Haggerty’s. Johnny moved to Long Beach some years later and made his way to Seal Beach where his fi rst surf acquaintance was the legendary Mike Owens, “Wiggy”, with whom he remains fast friends today.
The art of trim is essential to surfi ng tra-ditional longboards well, ala Skip Frey, and John-ny is truly a master of the seemingly effortless, but largely elusive, endeavor. Johnny is easy to pick out of a crowd – he’s the guy getting the longest fastest waves and making it look gracefully easy through nuanced and fl awless trim surfi ng.

Do your part and help get trash in the trash can. Keep our beaches clean!
This Fall and Winter has been a memorable one if you are a local surfer. After a lack luster Summer, fi nally we were blessed with incredible conditions and a number of swells to suppress our hunger for some real size. The most memorable waves and conditions may have unfortunatly occurred at the same time as the California fi re storms, creating incredible wind swept barrels
and spectacular colored skies, especially at sunset. We were not able to take to many shots during that time as I was to busy surfi ng and Eddy was broken up. We are sure you have seen many photos from that time anyway but we did get many shots from the following swells that seemed to just keep coming every couple of weeks. Go to www.ourwavenewspaper and follow the link to our eppicsurf.com/ourwave website that has many shots from many of those days. Who knows, maybe you will fi nd an epic shot of you surfi ng that you had no idea was being taken.

Fix that leaky roof. Call Mike Killeen Quality Roofi ng
Passing the Torch, Trevor Lucca Writen by Tony Alvarado
TThe art and sport of surfi ng has inherent in it the tradition of passing the torch, whereby the
groms become young men and begin to set their own course in the world of surfi ng.
Trevor, as part of the next wave, has recently been picked up by Harbour Surfboards of Seal Beach.
Harbour Team Captain, T.J. Ridings, has manned the helm of the team and taken Trevor un-der his wing as he manages the developing team.
Since the previous article on Trevor, some two or three years ago, he has started attending Wilson High School and is in the Distinguished Scholars Program.
Trevor is surfi ng his second year for Wilson’s competition team which is undefeated so far this season, including two victories over local rival, Los Alamitos High School.
Trevor was voted Most Valuable Surfer in his freshman year with consistent 1st and 2nd place fi nishes in both shortboard and longboard divi-sions. Recently, he put together a string of four 1st place fi nishes in a row, two shortboard and two longboard.
Trevor and his Wilson teammates, Joey Wangsness, and Code Watten led the team to a 2nd place Boy’s Longboard fi nish at the 2007 ISF League Championship at Oceanside last March.
As Trevor’s course of surfi ng progresses, he acknowledges and sends a thank you shout out to MD Surfboards and Katin Surf Shop for support along the way.
Trevor is stoked to be part of long-established surf icon, Harbour Surfboards and looks forward to a long and surf-fi lled relationship.
T.J. and Harbour have lots of plans in the works for the team, including a fi lm trip to Mexico. We are looking forward to seeing the footage.
