Ben, MagicSeaweed.comFor my money that clubofthewaves website is one of the rare examples of the design AND content being well well worthwhile and one of the few where the 'production values' are so consistently high... Sorry to brown nose just like what I see.
Aubree, Dailystoke.comI wanted to get in touch and let you know that I really dig Club Of The Waves, both the site and the blog. It's where I go to get my fill of great surf art. It's kind of like a sunny day, every day ;)
Alex, Founding Editor, The Surfer's Path magazineI'm a big fan of your site... Good luck with the site. It's a great thing you have going there.

Erik Abel, Artist (Portland, Oregon)When it comes to surf culture, surf artists, surf photographers, surfing forums, surfing debates or surfing anything, ClubOfTheWaves.com is the place to go. I've been a featured artist on COTW for a while now and have made some great contacts through the site as well as discovered A TON of really great artists and photographers. Take a gander... but don't blame me if you lose the next 2-3 hours to a computer screen!
Ron Croci, Artist (Palos Verdes, California)Thanks for all that you do. COTW is an essential part of all our success. Again, thank you so much from all of us. You are the single best promoter of this wonderful new art form.
Ed Fladung, Editor & Photographer, QualityPeoples.comClub Of The Waves is a wicked surf culture and art site packed with surfing lore from artist and photography profiles to surf history, environmentalism, charity and user forums. It's a great information resource, I've lost countless hours of valuable surf time perusing its intimidating amount of content. Andrew is the site's curator and publisher. I hoping to see the spirit of COTW transitioned to art shows and books. I'm honored to have been recently included in the photographer profiles. If you don't already know about The Club, head on over and don't make any plans, it's addictive...
Llewellyn Ludlow, Artist (Bolinas, California)I really admire your involvement in surf culture, art, and photography... COTW is a boost to everything great about surfing! Keep up the good work!
Ron Croci, Artist (Palos Verdes, California)Man, I love COTW! Thank you for everything that you do Andrew. Where would we be without you? Back about 10 years I think.
Sarah, comment posted on COTW MySpace (San Diego, California)Hey hun, I just wanted to say thank you for making such a great website. I think it rocks that you collaborated so many pieces of 'Surf Art'. I was born in a small city far far away from surfing. Ah hell, it was probably looked at as a sinful act...yeah well, I moved away as soon as I could. It may sound cheesy, but sites like yours motivate small town people like me to go explore the world and figure out where they really belong. So thanks again for making such a kick ass site, because it makes a bigger impact than what you may realize. Take Care, Sarah.
Loza, comment posted on COTW MySpace (Newquay, Cornwall, UK)HEY! Just to say your site has actually inspired me to become a surf photographer so much, I think it's amazing that i now know what i want to do with my life, it's the best feeling I have had in ages!
Matt Smith, Photographer (UK)Since being on your site i have received some great opportunities and sold many pics as a direct result from COTW. It has also landed me an ongoing contract with a Syndey based company and really helped launch my photography career. For that I am very grateful. Keep up the good work.
Ben DeCamp, Photographer (San Diego, California)Your site is bringing me lots of business, recently I got requests for two books and a new website that's coming out. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Bryn Hall, Artist (Cornwall, UK)I just wanted to send over a massive THANK YOU! Your site is truly unique and inspiring and I'm stoked to be part of it. I signed a contract with Oxbow. Yes they approached me, and when I asked where they saw my work (as I don't have a website), they said Club Of The Waves. This is becoming a rather common occurance, and I just think the opportunities of being on the website have really helped me. So thanks again!
Damian Fulton, Artist (El Segundo, California)Andrew, just came from your site. Don't know whether to paint or go surf. Awesome collection of artists and photogs. So much fun! My work has really taken off thanks to you! Goin' surfin'
Ryan Tatar, Photographer (San Diego, California)I think your site is pretty awesome and fills a much needed void on the web. When I was living in North Carolina I was pretty starved to find access to surf art and new inspiration for photography. Your site does the trick and its an incredible idea. Thanks again, and its an honor to be a part of it!
Céline Chat, Artist (France)Congratulations for the more and more beautiful website! I spend hours to see all the artists and photographers, it's amazing!

Colleen Gnos, Artist (Central California)It looks great. I wish you lots of success with this site... Thanks so much for including surfing "creatives" like us--it's a pretty small niche that we fit into and pretty hard to make a living if you're not in the advertising industry, so any exposure is fantastic.
Christina, Artist (La Conchita, California)Thank you so much for all your hard work, I was really totally lost before I found you and my artwork has had some awesome feedback because of COTW... You're AWESOME!!!!... I just wanted to write in and let you know that it is extremely awesome of you to do what you do. Club Of The Waves is never boring to look at... Looking up different artists and the different styles motivates me so much.... Thank you for being you!!! Aloha, Christina

Surfers for Cetaceans, review of COTW...another new site that really needs recognition is the Club Of The Waves. Awesome guy running it and it's a great site with a great cause behind it...
Noemie Ventura, Photographer...i've just checked your website, and i think that it's a great idea to show the all the artists coming from the surf culture. Your website is very nice, clear and without any useless bling bling. I really appreciate this very 'pure sober' style.
