Devin Bull's Surfing Lines

DEVIN BULL'S CORRODING SURFBOARD

Out of the water feeling like a prune
The body all dry, surfing life in ruin
Lately it feels like all work and no play
Just waking up and working all day
Surfboard sitting around turning into corrosion
Got to get back and get in the ocean
But now I am stuck in the city and buried in the smog
Life's lost its balance in the toxic fog
Back home at the beach and left it all behind
Raised my middle finger to the daily grind

Devin Bull flat feet

2009-09-11T03:26:38Z

Devin Bull: Geez, until recently it was flat. No waves for three weeks.
Couldn't wait for the next swell to get wet. Summer sucks when you get a
flat spell. For a surfer with his feet stuck on little it is pretty
torturous. Fortunately we didn't have to wait too long. Got a nice big
swell (at least for here) in that was fun.

Check the last blog post of Devin Bull paddling into a nice summer swell.

Devin Bull – too bad that one lined up wide = and I only got on the shoulder.

Devin Bull is off surfing

2009-09-02T05:35:23Z

Devin Bull was recently sighted doing the following:

- Devin Bull was repairing the surfboard that blew out of his truck and got
smashed.
- Devin Bull was waxing his stick ready for the next swell
- Devin Bull was overhead talking to one of his mates about the upcoming
surf conditions
- Devin Bull was spied upon whilst consulting his tide charts for the best
time to get in the water
- Devin Bull was overhead telling his wife he had butterflies about his surf
mission later that day (Devin Bull had been out of the water too long)

Devin Bull on some sand bar waves

2009-09-02T05:35:23Z

Devin Bull: Surfed some waist to head high sand bar waves the other day.
The water was only about knee deep. The waves were powerful and hollow, but
the shape was not so great. There were a lot of gnarly close outs but the
waves usually allowed for a pump or two on the face. Needless to say,
surfing those waves was like some kind of full contact sport - especially
considering the amount of contact I had with the wave and the bottom.
Thankfully it was sand bottom so no reef cuts. Devin Bull

Devin Bull on a great way to relieve stress

2009-08-23T06:14:28Z

Devin Bull: Surfing is a healthy, happy diversion in life. It's a quality
activity to relieve stress, get fit and get "stoked."

Devin Bull interview on dong repair

2009-08-23T06:09:40Z

Devin Bull: How long have you been repairing dings for?
Max: 16 Â½ years. Almost as long as I have been surfing.
Devin Bull: Why do you do it?
Max: I started doing it as a grom for my own boards, then my matesÂ' boards.
Now I get paid to do it.
Devin Bull: So, it does pay?
Max: Yeah, I get by. Plus it keeps my head in the game. I like everything
about surfing.
Devin Bull: Thanks Max! IÂ'll drop a couple boards off to you later that
need fixing. I creased the nose on my favorite stick. Anything you can do
about that?
Max: That depends. Bring it by and IÂ'll check it out.

Devin Bull on surfboard size

2009-08-15T09:27:12Z

Been scaling down the size of my boards lately. Three years ago I was
riding a 6' 8" or a 6' 10" as my standard short board. I paid little
attention to surfboard design. In the last couple of years I travelled a
lot more and worked with some local shapers. I first got a 6' 6" then a 6'
2" and then a 5' 10". Very interesting! Almost all of the boards are epoxy
quads with a little more width in the nose and thickness in the board (I'm
not light). My 5' 10" is 3" thick. The shorter board are really fun to
ride. Even the 5' 10" handles overhead surf no problem. The new boards
have helped me surf better and have more fun. Devin Bull

Devin Bull Crapping on Part 2

It aint taxing when you’re = waxing

While your amping to go dancing

Just you out in the ocean blue

Inside laughing while you’re = carving

Buckets of spray blowing away

Board gracefully moves making = grooves

Picture created appetite = insatiated

Paddle out to your mate shout

Poetry in motion on the ocean

I’ll have another brother

Devin Bull's magic new surf spot

2009-07-22T01:56:41Z

Found this nice little place about 250 = meters from the beach. Nice little coral reef. Razor sharp bottom. Fun = little wave that sucks off the reef and breaks below sea level. Biggest I have had = it is some head high sets so far. Waiting for a big swell so we can really = get shacked.

"Wet and wild surfing fun"

by Devin Bull

Wet and wild surfing fun

On my board out the back in the sun

The swell hits the bank and starts to = run

I’m outside then inside sheltered from the = sun

All the crap in the world we love to = shun

While we are having wet and wild surfing = fun

With my rhythm from the waves I start to = hum

Having wet and wild surfing fun

Got to go to the beach and get in the = sun

Have some wet and wild surfing fun

Harmoniously joining the momentum by Devin Bull

2009-07-13T14:21:33Z

Poem by Devin Bull

The waves reach the shore in a musical rhythm

Paddling surfboard quickly using the strength I’ve been = given

Reaching outside the break I sit up and look out

Seeing a wave approaching I time its approach and turn = about

Lunging forward joining the wave’s momentum in an = instance

It’s power lifting me to the shore in the distance

At that moment the wave and I become one

Forever separate but harmoniously joined under the rising = sun

Devin Bull on Anticipating the New Swell

2009-03-14T03:12:32Z

She shows up on the radar one week away
Been tracking her progress every day

Got a nice fetch and from the right direction
The weatherman has made only minor correction

The night before I prepare my equipment
Prepped my new board from the last shipment

I hit the sack and close my eyes
Dreaming of waves without any guys

I wake up early in sweet anticipation
And drive to the beach in mellow elation

Ahhh, there she is with beautiful lines
Me and her are going to have some good times

Poem by Devin Bull

Changing seasons

2009-02-22T05:21:03Z

Why did you desert me and leave me alone?
Now lost and landlocked and stuck at home

Was I not always attentive when you were around?
Your every curve on the shore I lovingly found

But the season changed and you disappeared
I knew it was coming but it's worse than I feared

Now I am looking for you like a long lost friend
The waves of winter are gone and it is the end

It seems the party was over when only just begun
Now I am longing for you to have more fun

Tell your friend the wind to blow again in this direction
When he does I'll bring my board and we can be reunited in loving affection

Until then

Poem about the sudden demise of winter surf by Devin Bull

Devin Bull's hidden behind the bushes perfect left

2009-01-24T06:20:19Z

Hidden behind the bushes you will discover =

It’s a perfect curl and like no = other

An empty six foot left hand wave

A hidden secret we will save

Getting Home by Devin Bull

2009-01-20T08:09:41Z

I was out the other day and the surf was nice
Just a couple of shark biscuits out on the inside
Just a solo surf that couldn't be purchased for any price
Long clean waves for me alone to ride

Then I paddled over to a new place
This crazy left hand shallow sand bar point break
And the wave was totally from outer space
Perfect waves for me to take

The best wave I've seen where I live
A hidden gem that is unknown
Unlimited stoke it will give
A hollow difficult wave inspiring this poem

Then I had to get on a plane and go away
To take a trip to another city center
Leaving the hidden break to be surfed another day
I'm thinking about that wave, I sure do miss her

It's one of the most perfect waves I've seen
So now I'm longing to return home
(to surf that wave)

Devin Bull Middle Aged Surfer

2009-01-08T12:19:01Z

Middle-aged surfer by Devin Bull

I’m getting a sore ass from sitting at my desk

My kids running around being pests

Stuff em in the car and drive away

Get out of the office and escape for the day

Take the highway and head down to the beach

Paddle out into the waves where no cell phone will reach

Waves are unreal and almost never anyone out

Some happiness inside wants to run down the beach and shout

As the swell pumps so does my stress-free stoke

I guess I’m a pretty lucky middle-aged bloke
