HOME SWEET HOME

QUIET TIME

THE HEART & THE SEA

*** Had the honor of working with Nathan Oldfield for his upcoming film "The Heart & The Sea... Had a magical eve at the Pass, solar fade with moon rise and perfect shimmering log jamming.. Here's a quick little moment caught in time

THE WEGENERS

*** The crew were in the flow, we headed north in the the van and landed at Soul's and Lisa'a compound. The morning brought a body womping shore pound then straight to the point breaks. As we prayed to the parking ferries, 2 spots opened up and gave us entry to the green playground. Right as we stopped the Wegener family appeared with a mixed bag of boards and stoke. We all shared the afternoon, celebrating Tom's latest designs, Finley's progress in riding the sea and the beautiful little green zippers that ran down the high tide cove. The spirits were high, music flowed through the eve until we found a cozy place for our sore bodies to lie and rest. Gratitude to Australia for bringing the right energy's together at the opportune moments.

BING - SWEE PEA

***Big thanks to Kyle Chambers and Matt Calvani for creating this little piece and working with what the sea provided...

THESE DAY'S

Lightening storms away in the distant sky
A brain of energy swells
The sea pulses love and energy for our pleasure
Life is full of suprises
Life on the farm is simple and powerful
Active minds gather to celebrate the season
Cold front comes with the morning light show
Environmnetal thoughts of yester year and the future ahead.
Brother coming from a far
Adventures galore

Home away from home
Sand groomed by the seas

Magic everywhere
Longing for Dickles
Markets with Maggi
Surf crafts and sore arms
Smiles and food
Big stars
Sleep

DEATH VALLEY ( 2 )

*** Here's the witch doctors conch shell meets the desert dragon wood. Dry rock tubes show the age when these inland plains were seafloor dwellings. 4x4 conquest deep into the heart of wilderness, floating on faith and good karma, the Tundra was finally named Lupita and after getting us through this waterfall, box canyon descent our motto quickly became "viva Lupita". The road into the sand dunes was straight out of the twilight zone, in fact the entire trip shared that strange brew... More to come

MAUIS DOLPHIN DAY

DEATH VALLEY ( PART 1 )

*** Our departure was swift, we headed North East, decided against the GPS, instead trusted in topo maps and hand drawn routes from a neighbor. As we entered the National Park, every corner brought something to appreciate, the sun led us into the valley and the dark set quickly, we got lost and found. Hot springs are the best at the end of a long days drive, we all slept like babies in the cool canyon breeze amidst the massive mountains and valleys...
