I moved to Southern California in March, and now the only unit of measurement I understand is sprinter vans.

That longboard Ashton scavenged from the dumpster is one sprinter van log. My charming studio apartment is roughly one and a half vans wide. The faces at Puerto Escondido are two sprinters high before they roll over and unload into the sandbar.

French surfers Charly Quivront and William Aliotti recently made the journey over to the Mexican Pipeline and found themselves in the bowels of some pretty intimidating beasts. The duo looked more than comfortable, though, likely due to their experience dancing with maxed-out beach breaks in France.
