City of Newport, Let the Frog House Stay!

Newport's Frog House
The Frog House surf shop, the second-oldest surf shop in Orange County, might have to close its doors because of residential zoning laws. The shop has been at its Newport Shores location since 1962.
A few years later, in the 1970s, the land was zoned for residential-use only. Because the business was already on the land, it was deemed a legal non-conforming use, meaning that they were openly using residential land for commercial use but the city did not pursue removal…until now.
The Frog House has been serving surfers for almost 50 years. The building with a bright green frog mural sprawled across the side prides itself on being a “real surf shop,” as written on its website. It’s known for carrying just about anything a devoted surfer would need.
“Here is a shop that smells like wax, has real beach sand on the floors and enjoys three generations of customers that return time and again,” the website states. “TK” Brimer, the owner since the beginning, is revered as a veteran in the Newport-Mesa surf community for his dedication to surfers and surf retailers.

Surf Pioneer Turned Surf Photographer – Clark Little
Monday, September 6th, 2010Waimea Bay shore-break surfing pioneer, Clark Little has gained nationwide recognition for his photography with appearances on Good Morning America, Inside Edition, and many local news stations across the U.S.
Golden Wave
Water Drops
It all started in 2007 when Clark ‘s wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall. Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out.
Tubular Shining
Surf Crashes Down
“Clark ‘s view” is a unique view of the ocean that most will only be able to experience safely on land while studying one of Clark ‘s photos. Now with a camera upgrade and an itch to get that better shot, Clark has taken this on full time and has moved his office from land, to the inside of a barrel.
Liquid Gold
White Water
Since the recent stir of Clark ‘s work, his images have been run on the Today Show, ABC World News Now, Nature’s Best Photography, Paris Match (France), La Vie (France), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine, Surfer magazine, Surfer’s Journal as well as multiple publishers and newspapers in the U.S. and overseas.
Splash
Red Mystery
These incredible images of waves in the Hawaiian Islands were taken by Clark Little, the number one photographer of surf. He is dedicated to photographing the waves and has published a selection of his best images. He captures magical moments inside the tube as surfers say.
Wave Break
Sand in Surf
This shot captures sand from the ocean’s floor being swept up by a monstrous wave and resembles a sandstorm. Little calls it the Sandmonster. “There were clouds of sand ten feet high and I’m standing there. I’m holding on to my camera and my trigger as long as I can. Then I have to jump into the cloud of sand to try to get out of danger’s way.
His fans pay as much as $4,000 for his gorgeous photos.

Danny Spyra spotted rocking Fyasko at the U.S. Surf Open
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010The past couple of weeks have been action-packed with all the extreme sports events taking place. The overlap of the X Games, U.S. Surf Open and Maloof Money Cup offered nothing short of a good time for sports enthusiasts, families and local Orange County ‘merry makers’. Our friend and face of BNQT.com, Danny Spyra, was on the scene in Huntington Beach, rocking some fresh Fyasko threads to interview the top athletes at the Open, as well as, the Scratching the Surface film premiere. But don’t think that Danny is all work and no play! He took time out to participate in the Nike 6.0 and Surfer Magazine 2nd Annual ING Pong Tournament at Nike’s Motel No-Tell just north of the HB Pier. Bathtubs of Red Bull, grilled hot dogs and Morningstars, and three tables of 1-v-1 ping pong with a $600 cash prize. All-in-all, we’d say it was a sprawling, crawling success and even have the photos to prove it…
