Here’s another look at me getting axed in case you wanted to laugh again!

If you see me having way too much fun in junky waves this could be a good reason why! It’s a 5’4″x19″x2.125″ Choppa. Pedro Battaglin shaped it and Bobby and John kept it in the super flyweight division.
I also hadn’t drawn on a board in a while so I hit this one with one of my longtime heros Slow Poke Rodriguez! If you forget who he is, it’s the cousin of Speedy Gonzales. YouTube him and watch the similarities unfold before your very eyes lol.

It’s COACH what the Schnell?! to you, lol. If you didn’t already know I have been coaching Michael Gumina recently. If you haven’t heard of him….here are a few clips from the last couple weeks. For those of you already in “the know”, check out what he has been up to the last few weeks.

I was going through my computer and found this picture from May 3rd when I was coaching Michael. I just really liked the colors so I thought I’d share.

So my dad has been writing a bunch of music lately and as we were pre celebrating fathers day tonight I was listening to his new tracks (some obviously intended for female vocalists). As we were brainstorming for the right type of voice I had a flashback to when I lived in L.A. for a hot minute. When I was living up there with Alexander and Nick Grosvenor we used to have a psuedo recording studio in the place and people would come by and record jams with Nick. One day one of Nick’s acting class cohorts came over(Kate Micucci) and I was blown away by her talent on the piano and 40’s style vocals that she laid down. So of course I had to look her up so that my dad could hear her voice. Long story short, I couldn’t find anything with her singing solo that really showcased her talent(not that this doesn’t….but much differently) but boy oh boy do I love what I found. This song is amazing and I’m very happy to be able to share it with you! Good work ladies! Check out their other jams too as many are super funny and well written. But for now….sit back and ENJOY the hell out of this little ditty!!

Check out my buddy Sean Brody just making history! If any of you are up for a trip to Liberia feel free to contact me and we’ll get it all set up for you. Long, sand point lefts…..yes please!

I’ve been very fortunate to meet some very cool people and have made some awesome friendships during my life. This is one of those people and check out this tubaso! He’s lucky the policia didn’t give him a speeding ticket!! Click this link to head to surfline and check out his entry into the wave of the summer. No doubt Oscar will have more entries when the next swell arrives.

So I’m going to assume that if you are reading this, you are probably just as guilty as I am of drinking way too many energy drinks. Everyone is always telling me how bad they are for me so I finally did some research and have recently switched to Verve Energy Drinks. I had no idea energy drinks such as Red Bull have been banned in Norway, Denmark, Uruguay, and France. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_bull). Another thing I’ve  been enjoying is that I don’t get nearly as dehydrated as I did when I would crush a red bull right before running out to surf. This company produces several different Mangosteen based products and the energy drinks are just one.
