Surfing is hard as fuck.I grinded the last ten years and set my life up so within seven minutes, I can be from my desk to taking a wave on the head at my beloved isle, of plum.I know I’ll never be a great surfer, but I absolutely don’t give a fuck.

I found a really good community finally at 49 years young with a great bunch of local guys two of whom I bugged the shit out of for some of these clips. (Thank you for putting up with all of my BS @newenglandsurfer 🎥 )

Five weeks out of the water with a knee injury.I’m so so so so thankful to be back……

This is a wild, fragile spot we’ve looked after for years. If you’re visiting this holiday weekend please pack your trash, respect the refuge, be decent to the locals, and tip your servers—they’re working through the holiday and their window to make $ is short.

Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸

I’ve been so fortunate to be a part of building Bern with Dennis and Adam, and then having the amazing opportunity to build 1620 with Ted and our team there.Sometimes when I step back, and realize “I get to do this” it hits me how blessed my life has been.I get to build brands. And work with great people. It’s never been easy, but it’s been worth every minute.

It’s wild to come a bit full circle and help the Bern brand again find its feet.I am so proud of Bern and all the amazing riders, videographers, photographers, reps and distributors and employees that have helped build the brand over the last two decades.The last independently owned helmet brand in the game.An iconic brand sold the world over.I ask you to support this family owned biz, if you need head protection for your friends and family.DM me for a discount code. And stay safe out there.To everyone who I’ve had the opportunity to work with and who have helped me in my career.Thank you.Chapter 2 is gonna be a fun one to write. 🎥 @curranblevins

The bad news is, time flies.
The good news is.
You’re the pilot.

A legend turns 79 today.

Being conservative means conserving. It’s right there in the word. Loving this country, its land, its water, its wildlife, and then choosing not to protect it is the real contradiction.

I was lucky to be raised by men who understood hunting and fishing, who knew you are only borrowing what you stand on. You’re a steward of what you love. The same goes for surfers, snowboarders, anyone who lives for the outdoors. If you love it, you protect it. That’s how the generations before us operated. That’s why we still have what we have. You can’t have it both ways.

It’s the only fight worth having.

Happy 79th, Dad. You’ve spent your life standing up for the places and principles you believe in, and you did it with integrity and backbone. Because of you, Nate, Hunter, and I don’t just talk about responsibility, we live it. Your example is the legacy. We’re proud to carry it forward. Love you.

Big ups, much respect & many thanks for the candid New England winter product feedback — from friend of the program, environmental advocate and Co-Founder of @1620usa & @bernhelmets, @unclejwalker: One of Massachusetts’ Finest and proud owner of a @00akadoublezero by #XIIIG @aka13g wetsuit.

And real is real: Wetsuits via @00akadoublezero by XIIIG @aka13g are the best on the planet. Unapologetically best-in-class everything — with zero exceptions in quality or performance. As well as a total dedication to brand integrity by doing what is right (and true) by the customer.

In this respect, we don’t switch-up rubber suppliers to use lesser-than materials — and then try to convince people that it’s still something top shelf (If you know, you know). We don’t strive for mediocrity by laminating basic sandpaper-esque nylons that pill like crazy and absorb water like a sponge (We see you). And we don’t contribute to over consumption, deep discounting and ultimately excessive landfill waste by using seam placement and construction methods that are guaranteed to fail (Big facts).

In addition to @ykk_usa Aquaseal zippers, ergonomically durable knee pad design and the top fabrication standards in the game, best-in-class 00 BY XIIIG wetsuits exclusively use the Yamamoto Corporation’s absolute pinnacle, Titanium enhanced and longest-lasting, Japanese limestone-based and 99% water impermeable #OGOptimumTechnology (compared to the usual 65% via oil-based neoprene). Unquestionably warmer plus game-changing longevity & lightweight functionality via a perfectly uniform cellular structure that looks like tiny hexagons (in addition to the most tear-resistant & hydrophobic 4-way stretch nylon in the game).

If you’re looking to invest in hands-down the world’s best and longest-lasting wetsuit, this is it. And there are no substitutes. Available at leading dealers like @cisurfboards, @cinnamonrainbows1983, @bodegabaysurfshack and @behindthepines_amsterdam. And coming soon to @gorge_performance in Portland, Oregon. Cheers & Enjoy PC TBD #ckth #cantknockthehustle

A few more cars now, a few less old maples holding the line 🍁

But she’s still the purtiest ❄️ #newmanroad

🍻 to the wild places, and the real ones I get to share it with.
