The fine folks at Casio and TransWorld SURF have teamed up to out the new Casio Exilim Mobile to the ultimate test—the Cali Rally. Part phone and part water resistant camera, we’ve been using the phones to communicate with the rallyers and snap some fun photos along the way. On Wednesday, we decided to see exactly how much abuse this little bad boy could handle so naturally, body-whomping at the infamous Newport Beach Wedge was the call.

I’ll handle this in two parts. First, fully agree with JCote - nothing wrong, and perhaps everything right, about a good bodysurf session now and then.
Regarding the more obvious, I think I’ll pass. Chris knew it was lame before he even put it up, but that’s what you’ve gotta do, apparently, in the surf mag world these days. I will say, however, that if you’re going to do it, at least give us a hot chick to look at ala Ms. Pepperoni… perhaps a nice Page Hareb/Steph bodysurf shoot instead? Or are they too expensive for Casio to hire out?

How ’bout the last shot? Two for one…funny story: I asked one of the chicks for some sunscreen and she goes, “Does it look like I wear sunscreen?” in a disgusted voice. Welcome to the OC!

Thanks to all. But I can’t do it without Chris and his team being such great straight men.
