Southern Sewage, Northern Felicity

The decision to re-re-locate back up to Narnia(credit Aengus) was further reiterated by the experiences recently incurred in Southern California. These incidents include but are not limited to; minimal swell, pollution, traffic, poop water, small waves, congested freeways, fevers, and fakeness.

After 10 days of swell blessed Thanksgiving bliss in Central Narnia (Photos By Sunny Smith), it came time to face the cold hard reality that all my materialistic Socal dwelling items were rotting away in a San Clemente storage facility costing me precious $ every month... Ignoring the green 4-6 foot Surfline forecast, I headed south... Bound for all my shit, more humans in less space, and less swell with more humans.

Luckily I was provided company for the journey down the coast... Zak Freedman was in need of a ride for emotional reasons, which meant I gained my own personal DJ for 3 – 8 hours. Check his band’s substance at www.myspace.com/halosband.

We arrived in LA latenight, I cruised to USC, found a girl, and crushed all night. Haha! Fantastic. JK… Tuesday, November 29^th was spent at Rhythm HQ, met up with they’re new steez intern Andy, headed to River Jetties and found some fun waves with nobody out… Low and behold it was too good to be true, fun uncrowded waves in Socal??? Something must be wrong... And it was… Fell asleep that night 100%. Woke up 18.3%. Fever, sore throat, headache, body ache, aching, achy. EGG.Y.

Found out later I was exposed to raw sewage.

Next 2 days = Sleep in van, struggle, vitamin c, struggle, sleep sleep sleep, struggle, soup, STRUGGLE, SLEEEEEEEP, struggle, sleep, better. Hung out at Drew’s for a few days, then decided the omens were telling me to get the F out of Socal so I did. Stoked to be back, ready for waves.

Fall Update

The past month has been spent in California, both Southern and Central. Fall is a brilliant time of year: early morning wakeups, greeted with offshore winds and luscious combo swells, giving way to sunny skies which call for two and even three coffee days while attempting to fit in as much surfing as possible while the sun is still in the sky.

Late September through early October in San Clemente was average for waves, and we ended up commuting south to San Diego for the majority of our sessions(Above photo by Jack English). Few fun days here and there, but nothing special… In mid October, like a flock of geese in reverse, it was time to head north with the changing of the seasons. My good friend Victoria flew in from Colorado, and Luke decided to cruise up too. We stuffed the car full and headed north with the sounds of Victoria’s modern hippie music blaring in our ears.

The first few days home Luke, Myself, and Jonny scored super fun waves, with crystal clear water and balmy weather (Check the clip below)… Later in the week my favorite photographer ever, Mark Mcinnis, and my other best friend Drew showed up just in time for a fresh new swell. We woke up early with the sun, surfed our brains out all day, and ended with well-deserved beers in the hot tub followed by home cooked meals courtesy of my amazing mom.

Yesterday I flew out to Hawaii to compete in the 4 star Hic Pro at Sunset. Never even surfed Sunset but its looking like there should be waves on Monday. Stoked!
