Epic Night!

Shannon, Banyan, and I had such a great time at La Jolla Surfer's Fellowship last night. They had a band called the "Absens," which is a couple La Jolla Highschool kids- and they killed it! Full Metallica meets Jesus. They'll be on iTunes in a couple of weeks. We showed our Baja episode and everyone was stoked- I do always wonder if they applaude just to make me feel better or if they really liked it though- funny how you can be insecure about stuff like that. Kahana and Wes (surfer and filmer) for Baja turned up, and Banyan grabbed one of the kids sk8boards and was charging outside trying to go off curbs and stuff- and he's not even 3 yet. And last but not least Jonathan "I'm famous because I'm the dopey surfer guy in the Jack in the Box commercial that's aired a million times" appeared, but only for a moment to give his approval and promote his Niz clothing. It's a great crew to be with- and the guys who run the Fellowship I've known for 20 years- as we all came to know our creator across the street going to a surfer's fellowship. So much potential in that room last night with all those kids. I'm praying for them- they are the light in this dark world.

Surf Lessons! and...

For a limited time this Summer, Shannon and I will be giving 3 hour private surf lessons at various surfing beaches in San Diego. Contact us if you are interested. Hanging in here, lots of planning (ie. sitting in front of a computer) for upcoming On Surfari trips, some new sites we're working on, and upcoming trip to help film/surf in a new Christian Surfer's movie coming out next year. Thanks for all of your emails everyone! We love the support and feedback! Sounds like On Surfari is playing in South America tons. Stoked!

Getting some emails from Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay...from On Surfari airing on National Geographic, stoked. I would love to see it translated- maybe there's a rough smoker guy translating over my voice- classic. Shannon and I are hanging tight in San Diego waiting for waves, working on her art career, and can't wait to get on some trips this Summer. So far looks like a long season in Indo, may try to push over a month's time, then onto somewhere north of there...couple projects over there all going at the same time...maybe an On Surfari episode?!?!? I'm starting to think podcasting new shows...anyone up for that?

Just got back from an amazing drive up and down the West Coast of the US. Oregon was particularly beautiful but the waves were too big and wild- some places 20feet and wind whipped, saw the house where they shot the Goonies...maybe someday we'll go On Surfari in Oregon. The locals probably wouldn't like that though. Banyan handled amazingly well the whole way, we definately stopped to play in the sand and in parks to give him a break. We ended up opening a lot of stores with Shannon's art prints, so you can now find her art prints from San Diego to Seaside, Oregon on the West Coast in just about every surf shop and gallery. Another thing we're absolutely stoked on...On Surfari has been picked up by National Geographic International, so our show will be airing worldwide and probably in a lot of countries we have visited. Hope they like the show (little nervous). Other than that, just planning a couple trips for On Surfari to... Lastly I was shooting for Outside's "Go" magazine in Dana Point last Sunday, and a On Surfari viewer, Kelly, came up and introduced himself...thanks for the stoke on the show Kelly.
