Cabo Freak Fest Daily Posts

Here we go people! The 11th year since it's resurrection, Cabo Freak Fest will go down from August 15th to the 20th. My blog will be the go to place for the play by play of each day on the trip. Somewhere at sometime each day between deep blue barrels and the drunken mayhem, I'll post photos or video clips of the madness that goes down at Cabo Freak Fest One3. Plus, this is the first call out to all the pros looking for a break from the bodyboarding rat race and enjoy all the things that make bodyboarding what it is... fun. Easy as that. Here we go!

A Must App

Pixlr is epic. I know there's a ton of apps out there to help your phone photos look that much better. My goto app for this is Pixlr Express. It has it all and more. PLUS... there's a desktop version as well! You can have all the cool things from the app and apply them to your images on your hard drives. That is awesome. 

Pixlr falls under the Autodesk company umbrella. Autodesk is known for it's unbelievable software programs; AutoCad and 3ds Max to name a couple. So you know, these people know their sh!te.

Here's a quick run down of what I like about Pixlr Express app. I have yet to play with the desktop version but will soon. Okay, check it:

-Has six different categories of coolness. Each having several types of modifiers: Adjustment, Effect, Overlay, Border, Text and Sticker. Sticker is my favorite because it have the comic word BOOOM!

-Undo and Redo buttons: If you don't like what your photo looks like after applying an effect, click Undo. Wait, you did like it... Redo.

-Saving: You can save in different sizes including the original size.

-Sharing: After you've finished your editing, click share and bam, shared!

Get it. Use it. Love it. http://pixlr.com/

After. Yeah, got crazy on this one.

Before. Using my HTC One S phone with the HDR effect.

Where I am today would not be without the support of my beautiful wife, Mailei. Today makes nine years that we've been married. Here's to you my love...

All Smiles With JRom

Oh man, I don't know how long I've known Jacob Romero but I must say... the latest photos I've seen of him have been the most I've seen with him showing his pearly whites. it's not that he's been an angry man but his supa dupa fu man chu beard can be intimidating to some. So what's up with all this recent smiling? I'm guessing it could be that he just signed with one of the coolest bodyboarding brands out there (www.theNo6.com) or it could be that he's got a great looking lady by his side or maybe it could be that he survived this freakin' hell air in Chile? Either way, this is huge props to JRom. Congrats braddah. JROM's Blog. CLICK HERE.
