Galapagos

Galapagos thoughts again... Tons of photos and fun stuff to share... I wish I could live on that island chain for some time....

Life is good and I hope to get some more waves here sooner than later... Gonna be another fun day in Cabo and then back to Laguna world... Whats next????? hoping someone calls and we continue this 8 month surf trip!!!!

Stacy Peralta

wow... What a great day...... The summit begins with registration and i run into long time friend and editor Sam George..... Sam is good people and LOVEs surfing... He is the romantic writer and an encyclopedia on any thing and everything surf related.!!! Go ahead.... ask him anything! hahah So Sam is with Stacy Peralta whom I am a big fan of his work and respect his skating and surfing from the original Dogtown boys... Pretty cool stuff.... Sam asks me if I know Stacy (as he is very polite like that) and then continues to introduce me to him.. not to be cheesedick about any of this but Sam informs Stacy that he has never seen a popshuvit on a longboard besides the one I did at San O one time during our annual Surfer Magazine BBQ years ago...WOW!!! was I blown away.. Stacy was pretty stoked on the idea of it as well... It was probably one of the best ones I have ever done staring off surfing the 9'3 Engle shaped Infinity rad noserider backwards and popping it out of the water only to catch it 180... So stoked.... Thats a pretty legit "claim to fame" Sam exclaims to Stacy.. I will take it I say.!!! :) hahaha Wow.... I am on cloud 9.... sooo stoked to be recognized like that... and its great to see Sam again.. We have had some good times together and I really respect him as a surfer and writer and what he has done for Surfer magazine.. It was a great and amazing time to work at Surfer with him... stoked..... Stacy's and Sams conversation this evening was pretty all time and his points about filmmaking were all time!!! I learned alot from both of them... Sooo stoked to be a fly on the wall... Thanks for the work SIMA!

Jocko's Passing

Surfers Funerals are different than any other.... On this special day it was not about being sad... It was about being happy and the good energy everyone brought to the beach that day.... Turning the corner at the sand dune you could see it was glassy shoulder high and GOOD!!! I mean REALLY GOOD!!!! Mid way through the paddle out... Right before the ashes were spread it turned offshore !!!! it was amazing!!!! What a way to send off a loved one..... Aloha Jocko!!!! Thanks for the amazingly special day!!!!!!!!

Last Day in Texas

GScott works hard.. and at a moments notice.. after the paddle out we surfed Bob Hall and had a blast in amazing conditions with tons of waves coming in.... So blessed!!! Great day and I appreciate all his hard work... Im stoked on the b/s shuvit sexchange shot... never had that trick shot...

Damn It

Damn It!!! Got a job real quick and flew to Las Vegas to SUP Paddle the Colorado River for Tahoe SUP's!!! So stoked to be working with this company and we had a blast!!! Tons more photos to come.. but ya gotta wait til the article hits newstands first!! :) Base camp and the Hoover Damn... Damn good time!!!

Pack Your Trash

Pack Your Trash is rule #1 when you are outdoors in nature.. its a shame as Packery Channel has been infiltrated by people who rape the fishing zone. These are not "anglers" or "fishermen" in the true sense of the word if you are trashing the place that gives you food for life!! Notice the plastic bags in the bushes.... They have been there for over a month... and months prior to when I shot this....

Have Camera, Will Travel the show

The show went great and we raised some money to start a Corpus Chapter of Jr. Lifeguards... Here are a few photos from the event! thank you all for the continued help and support.... gonna catch up on some bloggin and take a break to surf and continue shooting.... so let the onslaught begin... :)
