SUPER SUNSET STYLE

***Captain Nicko, jumping overboard...

***Isla Melodria, just off the coast of Livorno was a great place to spend a mellow day. Swimming, drawing at sea and enjoy the sights that Italian boat culture brings with it... Speedos, floaty's, vino and this 1400's Italian naval post settled 3 km off the coast...
***Sophie and Valeria spent a few hours padeling around and surfed a few wind waves...

***The day before we took Nicko's boat recently deemed "Sophie Style" to a ecological reserve and spent the day chilling on a desolate beach. Nicko and I were restless and made a castaway-esque beach shack that kept the team cool under the Med sun.... This is by far the best photo I have ever taken of Nicko, made him look like a god.... Really captures his spirit.
***Here is Nicko's infamous Sunset Cafe in Marina Di Pisa, the place to be. Beach goers by day and party goers by night. He's created quite the relaxed and happening place to be. If your ever in the area I strongly suggest you go and check it out.

THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL IN SPAIN

WE LOVE TRAVIS MEADOR "aka... LIL BUD"

*** This is a funny way to show your appreciation for someone, but thats how our relationship has formed, the more we belittle each other the closer we become.. All jokes aside this kid is destined for greatness, he's a first rate actor and one hell of a musician.. Don't have his website but sure he's on that facebook thing....

FRENCH ALPS ENTRY TO PISA, ITALY

SALINAS SURF

SALINAS SURF FESTIVAL

***The waves treated us so well. First 3 days were overhead and offshore. Left and right peak and loads of surf insanity went down.....
**Classic group of 12 year olds. So classic. The spanish were so welcoming and have such big hearts. We made some great friends and I cant wait to return soon.
**Colin, Brandon, Robin and I made this piece for the Ewan crew which will be auctioned off to benefit a children's hospital. It was a live painting which made it really fun and exciting..
**Without a doubt the best surf festival I've seen. 3 days, full of music, surf, shapers and good vibes. Really great experience and super old world special.

ESPANIA

***Our crew exploded in Spain like a firecracker...

*** Can't tell you how many Jesus calls I've received this trip, even had old ladies stop dead in there tracks and sign the cross across their chest... Funny stuff.
**First morning wake up after a cosmic farm sleep under the full moon. So amazing. Super fun log jam with good friends. Really reminded me of New Zealand.
**The scene of the crime. We set up tents and did group yoga under the moon. Our amazing friend Ignacio and his brother hooked us up with is farm land to sleep on which was amazing. After seeing the zone I slept under the stars and tripped out on the stars all night. So powerful. What a great first night in Spain.

VIVA LA FRANCE

Apologies for the slack entry's as of late. Been far from internet usage and absolutely engulfed in the moment... Currently in Italy loving life. I'll do my best to catch up with the happenings.. If you are reading this I'm sending love and light as usual... 111

***Biarritz swimming hole... Low tide escape from the madness. Just around the corner form nowhere... Super beauty
***Lonely wandering hole. So needed this nature. Smelled like fertility maximus
**Colin and I scoped a great bodysurf wedge and than bathed in the madness of the Grand Plage. Thousands of cultures mixing in a twist of beach towels, umbrellas and noise. Strangely enough I felt so calm this day. Loved the buzz.
***This day was extra special, spent it with scout, and a amigo scoping old WW2 war barracks left by the Nazi's. They litter the beach's of France and Colin loves him some war story. This particular spot was incredible because you could still go inside all the rooms, open steal doors, experience the vantage points and ultimitley be in the darkness as well as heaviness of the locations. Over the course of hanging with Colin he gifted me with such great info on world history and how the world has weaved its way around such incredible actions of the past. To say the least I learned more in a few weeks than my entire high school experience.
***Scoped this from a far. As legend has it the house tucked just behind the dunes is haunted and something about this creeped me out as well... Overall France was magic. Lots of classic sights, smells and experiences I will not soon forget.

THE ONLY OTHER BEARDED MAN IN FRANCE.
