Amped for whats to come:

In September of 2016 I met Jesus!  Yep thats right, Jesus was my surf guide in Mexico on a recent trip i took with the boys. He was working for an established camp in the area, and although he was young, I was impressed by his knowledge of culture, food and history of his region of Oaxaca. In between surf sessions i would catch him studying manuals and books, and wondered "how could he sit in the truck when the waves were pumping?" The answer was simple, he had a dream. His own camp, his own rules, and his own way. I have always liked when people go after their dreams at all costs, for that matter i think we all do. So congratulations my man your new venture.

Its that time of year:

It may be winter, but that means the surf is red hot in the Caribbean. One of the best things about living in Florida is our proximity to the Caribbean islands and it seems we visit at least a few times a year. Its a pretty big place actually and you could spend a lifetime of adventure figuring out it's nooks and crannies. Here is a few of my favorites from 2016.

The cool crisp spring heads truly serve as the fountain of youth for Ali and I. We both love nature and its so cool that we have these epic spring so close to our home. This day we had a mission. Hit all four springs in the Ocala National Forest in one day. Here are a few images of that beautiful adventure.
