WindanSea Invitational

The last Coalition Contest of 2009!

This contest decided the winning surf club for all of 2009's total scores. All teams that attended were fired up and ready to compete. The heats were stacked with some really good and talented surfers. The Malibu Surfing Association, Oceanside Surf Club, Doheney Surf Club and many others came to San Diego...It was a great 2 day event.

The contest was held at La Jolla Shores on 12/05-12/06, and with a few storms approaching San Diego it made the waves a bit choppy.

The first day was concluded with a dinner at the Cass St Cafe. With special guests Mike Hynson and Sean Thompson! Sean gave a quick presentation, they were both there promoting their books. After a great meal and some awesome conversations. A few older surf moves were played along side a photo slide show of WindanSea. It was amazing to see the old surfing footage.

The WindanSea surf club did a good job putting on the contest. A special 'Shout Out' goes to Guayaki Yerba Mate for contributing over 250 drinks to keep the contestants hydrated and the judges awake. Thanks Guayaki...you guys ROCK! A huge thanks goes to all the sponsors who helped to make this event happen and the over 250 contestants that competed.

WindanSea surf club ended up taking the #1 team spot for the year, with Oceanside and Doheney rounding out the top 3 teams of California.

Look for the Coalition contests to pick up again in January! Cant wait to see everyone again.

Transition Blog

I recently had a TV segment come out for my surfing it was called Top Turns, in the segment it talked about my surfing career as well as highlighting parts of my Mt bike career.



The exposure I got from the TV show led me to the owner of Slide Magazine. He wanted to know what I do as a professional surfer. He was shocked but equally stoked to know that I also like to ride mountain bikes when I am not in the water. After a few discussions, he decided that his magazine is going to do a write up on my career up to this point. More importantly, he wants to make sure my Mountain biking is included in the piece along with my surfing. In the segment his is going to showcase the “Flash” side of photography which for me means lots of riding and surfing at dark or when its totally black out.



The Dickies shots are for some promotional things they are releasing in 2010. I don’t want to spill the beans on anything that’s coming up; but look for Dickies (and a few other awesome companies) to make a splash on the Action Sports community next year.



More to come soon Thanks…

Mini Moto

At an undisclosed location in San Diego, a small group gets together for Super Mini Moto.

Its a small dirt track that we are able to ride around. There are some obstacles that you have to master like; berms, trees, jumps, mud, and the occasional elbow to the chest...just kidding.

After a few rounds of free style we get down to the nitty gritty.

In action around the turn.

Jumping action.

Miracle/Legacy

Things have been so hectic, its nice to finally get out on the trails for a bit. Here are some highlighted pics of my recent adventure to Miracle.

Rode all day, the clouds came in and made for some decent overcast shots.

Not too bad for a hot afternoon.

I am going to be hitting up the trails again soon... Hope to see you out there!

Guayaki Yerba Mate

On Saturday the 7th, Guayaki Yerba Mate had a release party for the new Lemon Elation tea at The Office on 30th street. It was really cool hanging out with all the guys from Guayaki they do some really innovative things for the rainforest and for the indigenous people of Paraguay. They are an awesome company with awesome people.

What is Guayaki Yerba Mate? A great project, and a great beverage.

If you have never heard about Guayaki Yerba Mate, here is a little history;
The South American Rain forest is home to a special holly tree (ilex paraguariensis) The leaves of this tree is what the Yerba Mate is made from. You can drink it a variety of ways, but the most common is in a gourd with a Bombilla straw. The leaves of the rain forest mate tree naturally contain 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, abundant antioxidants. Needless to say, its good to you...and good for you.

In the sub-tropical rainforests of Paraguay, there are indigenous people called the Ache Guayaki. Through decades of deforestation and the ripple effect it causes, the Ache Guayaki people were almost lost forever along with 95% of the Atlantic side of the Rain Forest. Please visit www.guayaki.com for the whole story.

The founders of Guayaki use what is called Market Driven Restoration to rebuild the indigenous people and the rain forest they call home. Every drink you buy and enjoy, directly helps the rain forest and communities.

On top of supporting a great company...I am so hooked on Yerba Mate! In the morning, I brew the Mate in my coffee maker and drink it hot. I have a focused energy that I cannot find with other energy, coffee, or tea beverages. Go check them out at your enlightened supermarkets...
