A Forum to Get Noticed: Surfing Meets Social Media
As journalist Beau Flemister writes in Surfer Mag’s “SOCIAL VISIONS,” most of us aren’t new to social media. It’s everywhere. It’s changing the way we communicate, the way we live and learn. And now, Innersection.tv is bringing this online social environment to surfing. Innersection has one purpose: to produce the highest quality film with the [...]
Red Bull Gives Wings
Red Bull Project Air 2010 bowl training from world of freesports on Vimeo. The World Tour is just around the corner: only five days away. The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented by Land Rover will be the first of ten stops on the tour this season. And to get its surfers ready for all the [...]
Wrapping Up
I just booked my airline ticket back home. My summer is coming to an end… my trip to California is almost over. And it’s becoming very apparent, now that I’ve solidified travel plans for the return flight to Florida. I came to California for an internship with Quiksilver. But I am leaving with a much [...]
Life After Death and Taxes
Alright, for this one, I’m referencing “Life After Death and Taxes” by Relient K. When I was in my internship this week, Todd Kline said something that, although cliche, got me thinking… He said, “There’s nothing guaranteed in this life except death and taxes.” Furthermore, he related life to a card game: “We’re all given [...]
Anyone wanna read…? Nothing professional.
It’s 6:45 on a Sunday evening and I’m sitting in the kitchen at my home in Huntington Beach. This post isn’t anything professional. It’s not going to tell you the latest trends in public relations. It’s not going to propose how to reach your target audience. And it’s definitely not going to talk about social/new [...]
The Awakening.
The following is a post I actually wrote yesterday. I wrote it on the bus on the way to Quiksilver. But as a note: I didn’t end up surfing this morning… I was up late last night and didn’t have the drive to get up 4 hours later. But, I will be in the water [...]
Hurdles of Life
You know… it’s such a blessing to be here. But it’s really tough at the same time. Life throws you challenges, obstacles. This is definitely one of them. It is an opportunity for great growth. An opportunity for great learning, for great adventure and great reward. I can say without doubt that this does not [...]
Dude, that was one insane weekend!
I’m sitting in the motor home just outside of Perry’s house. This is my home in Huntington Beach. I can hardly keep from eating the icing-coated oatmeal cookies that Laurie bought for me. I finally just put them away… moving on to the pretzels! This was one jammed-packed weekend! It all began Friday morning when [...]
Earth-Shaking Experience
This past Monday night, I experienced a force of Mother Nature I have never experienced before; I experienced my first earthquake. Centered around the LA area, I felt the quake in Huntington Beach about 8:30 p.m. It reached a 4.8 on the Richter scale, a fairly decent shake that lasted about 15 seconds. At first, [...]
My Go Moment.
Last Thursday morning was like most mornings here. I was out surfing at the Huntington Beach pier. Just some nice 4 to 5 ft sets rollin’ in. By 7 a.m. it was starting to get fairly crowded. I was starting to paddle in on one of the waves. And so were 3 other guys. Then, [...]
The Beginning
It has been less than a week since I first arrived in Huntington Beach, and it has already been greater than I could have ever imagined. It still seems so surreal that this is all happening. It’s incredible. Everyday, I wake up at 5:30 a.m. and surf the Huntington Beach pier… or the secret spot. [...]
