SandwichesShouldNeverTasteLikeCowCrap.jpegSandwiches Should NEVER Taste Like Cow Crap by Dave Lowe (published by Manta Press in 2008) is a tasty stew of stories from life on the Lowe Road.

Starting with strip searches at foreign customs, run-ins with tatami dragon ladies, rides aboard horny camels, shots fired by AK-47's, wheels breaking off taxis and more than a flightmare or two - Dave's travelogue poses a question: Are his size 13 shoes spreading mayhem and chaos with each step?

Only the Travel Gods know for sure.....

Mavericks '09

Every self respecting surfer knows about Mavericks, the annual surf contest held at the surf break with the same name in San Mateo County, California, 30 minutes drive down Highway 1 from San Francisco.

Each year the worlds top surfers gather to ride some of the planet's most humongous waves, topping 35 feet + on occasion. Though deaths have occured during the tournament, the spirit of Mavericks continues, and the event always happens at a moments notice: as soon as the waves are up, the competition begins.

This year's Mavericks was held Wednesday, December 9th. To view photos, click here.
