This is when Facebook has a wonderful purpose. I know not everyone is on it, but a good amount are, which will help me spread the word of thanks to all the people that attended my fundraiser at Maynards on May 22nd. It was amazing to see and feel all of the support from my family friends and even people I had met for the first time. I could not have asked for anything better and appreciated the perfection of the day.
I do apologize if I was quick with conversation, but just made sure to reach out to…

Sorry everyone for no posting anything in sometime. I have been through a lot of life changes physically and emotionally and am ready to share my story. I want to shout out to everyone who has showed their support and kept me in their prayers and found time just to say hi or ask how I am doing. This story is a brief idea of what has been going on in my life. People that have met me I hope I came off as a happy person because I do try to stay as positive as possible, but that…

The past couple days here in Ocean City have been pretty fun. I have surfed a lot of hours catching some really fun waves. I was rusty at first only surfing last Wednesday’s little swell, but having constant swell coming in it was easy to get back into things. The first session I started with a 5 ml and booties, which didn’t help my rustiness. The water has warmed up so much and feels great. A 4/3 or 3/2 and no booties is perfect. I can feel my board again and get loose. Ha. Any surfer knows how nice…

I flew home from PR on May 5th. It is a pretty flat in Rincon this time of the year. It is flat in Jersey too, but is the season of tourists and time to make some money. When I arrived in Newark it was 80 degrees, which is perfect weather to come back to from the tropics. The waves were flat though so there was nothing to rush home to. The weather dropped a coupe days later and the waves stayed flat so my excitement of being home ended quickly. I was home for Mother’s Day so of…

I put the surf shed in a category of perfection, where I am pretty sure a lot of other people would think the opposite, a shit hole. It is a room outside of the main house that is the size a probably a dorm room. I wouldn’t really know that comparison. I never stayed in a dorm room. I did visit my brother a couple times to his, but I was young and don’t remember the exact dimensions. Anyway, it’s small. I have a single bed that can really give you a back ache in the morning. The mattress…

My quiver on this trip consisted of a 5’7 Lost Stealth and a 5’11 Timmy Patterson. It was the perfect duo for down here. Tina cam down here with no board because she would be saving the $150 charge for only the couple days she was here. Of course I let her borrow my board and saw her surf amazing. I was really happy for her, until she brought the board back with no fin or fin box. Luckily it is hard for me to get pissed especially at Tina so it really wasn’t that big of a deal….

In the beginning of March I flew down to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, from Atlantic City, New Jersey. I flew Spirit Airlines cheap as hell flight with two of my good friends, Warls and Mon, and meeting two more, Matt and Meg, at our stop in Orlando, FL. Well not really hell for the passengers, but the people that have to deal with us 2:30 am. Whether it is getting a rental, finding a taxi, or begging your friends that are down in PR to come get you at that time. No one likes doing anything that involves thinking at…

Another year at expo in Orlando. Always a mandatory good time. It has been awhile since I have ventured down to Florida for the weekend of surf industry chaos. It has been close to 8 years since I have been there and nothing has changed. Well on my part, I was there for work and play instead of just play. This year my birthday fell on to the heart of the weekend. I knew it was going to be a great celebration because of everyone that was going to be around. I shared this great time with good friends,…

Feb. 6th in Seaside everyone. Perfect contest for this years conditions. It has been very cold and flat but we had a good run for awhile there. I’m sure everyone is planning warm destinations, but if you around on that date definitely come up. Everyone looks up to Dean and should because he rips harder than any of us. Check out his site for more information. deanrandazzocancerfoundation.org

Lately all I have been thinking about is surfing. The waves have been non-stop and I work in a surf shop so it’s all around. I usually am very lazy and will just watch TV. I am single so that perfect girl is always in mind with maybe being out that night. Recently I have been on the grom program of watching surf videos and non-stop Triple Crown coverage on aspworldtour.com. As a single surfer I put many nights out to the side to catch the early morning A-frames. I am probably the happiest person you will be in…
