Noa Deane, packed lunch at Lowers, CA
Avid Stab-a-gram users may’ve noticed a day ago when Noa Deane posted an Instagram video that depicted his unzipped board coffin, containing five broken boards care of American Airlines. He’s been bouncing around Europe, and the return flight to Cali included, somewhere along the way, some brutish handling of his oversize baggage. So, it’s on a fresh surfboard that we find Noa today at Lowers. He crossed the tracks with Sam Orozco and Pat Schmidt, as well as photogs Leon Legot and our shooter of this moment, Quinn Matthews. “It was peaky and a bit inconsistent,” says Quinn. “But the boys had the lineup pretty much to themselves. Well, at least, there was no other pros, since everyone else has been busy with Hurley Pro Trials or US Open commitments. Rest assured though, it was the usual Lowers crowd of non-pros; upwards of 40. But everyone was smiling and in a good mood after the morning surf, despite the crowd and being burnt so often, so we all went to grab some Pizza for lunch.” And who the hell doesn’t love pizza?
