A few weeks back our Hawaii Sales Rep took a little me time and traveled from Hawaii to the east coast and landed in Boston with his main squeeze Sarah. I was talking to Wayne right before he left and told him to take some photos for this here blog so we could get a look at what went down in bean town. He went to the Sam Adams Brewery, got to see the craziness of a Red Sox game and saw some of the unique art that Boston has to offer.
Devin has been sending over little photo projects here and there for the last couple months as you might have seen. Here we have Mr Briggs in his Memorial day stroll down to the HB pier and a few images from his journey into the madness.
Our friend Ellison who actually just made a journey out to the west coast from South Carolina a few weeks ago just sent me over some pictures from around his hometown in SC. I love to get these shots it really showcases these certain spots in the states that we don’t get to see that often.
Tom has been all over the place lately, he and his dad were out in California a few weeks back for a week and then they flew back home to NJ and a few days later he boarded a plane for Mexico for a month with photographer Ryan Struck to get some surf and enjoy the culture. If you have been a loyal follower of our blog then you already know that Tom has been submitting his photos to us for the last couple months and they have been a great hit so when Tom was headed out I told him to make sure he sent over shots of everything so we can see what he sees and even though we aren’t down there at least we can feel like we are.
Is it just me or does Tom look like Shia LaBeouf right here?
So last week JoJo Whitmarsh had his movie premier right here in Newport to show case his new film “I Like You”. It was sold out at every showing and everybody I spoke to have said it was a great film and even better because they know the guys you made it. On Friday we had the chance to meet Parker Peterson the star of the movie, she came by the office to see where the magic is made.

Chile Blog 1. April 30 ‘10
Its my 7th time to Chile. I guess you could say Im a fan of the cold water Indonesia, as I like to call it. Why do I call it that? Well, Its waves are 80% lefts and yes its cold and chilly. Chile is one the places where I can find every type of wave that there is to surf. Slabs, point breaks, beach breaks, reefs, almost waves i.e. like if we could only blow that one rock up it would be rideable. Not only does the variety of waves allude me, but the minimal crowds and consistency of the coastline is a main ingredient. Oh yea me being a goofy foot and be surrounded by endless lefts with practically no one out is a dream situation. On top of all that the culture, the friends I have here, and the food. Its all good!
I’m based in Pichilemu right now. I’m staying in my friend Diego Medina’s guest cabana w/my girlfriend Sheila. It sits on the beach in front of Punta de lobos. Punta de lobos is one of Chile’s premier big wave spots. Its a left hand point break. It can hold waves as big as 7 meters= 25 ft+.
My main purpose here in Chile is to compete in the Quiksilver ceremonial Punta De Lobos big wave invitational. We are in the middle of the 2 month waiting period. Event organizers want to wait for a 5-7 meter =15-25 ft swell. It will be my first time competing at this surf spot. I thought it was a good idea to come down here early and practice at Lobos. I’ve also been surfing some other amazing waves in the local area.
Diego Medina has been a great host. I’ve been able to tag along with him and get the inside scoop of where to surf as well as where to eat etc. I have 31 more days in Chile. I’m sure there will be some adventures to write about along with some cool point of view photos that my girlfriend and Ill be taking.
Aloha
