To follow a more up to date blog please visit: http://projectsaveoursurf.org/wordpress/ Day 1: The Journey Begins Our journey began in Santa Barbara, California. Karon Pardue (VP of PSOS) and myself head to south to pick up shoes at Olukai in Orange County. Olukai was kind enough to donate over 700 pairs of shoes, which was over $85K in shoes and several boxes of supplies. The entire company joined us as we loaded up the 26ft Uhaul. Unfortunately, we were so loaded and still had one more stop in Flagstaff, Arizona that we decided to leave some boxes behind (they will be shipped) and start our journey East. Karon and I original goal was to make a pit stop in Flagstaff, AR and head directly to Albuquerque, NM. As hours passed by on the endless highway, we started getting very sleepy and our bodies ached from loading the…
Hi Friends and Family, I am writing you this from beautiful El Salvador. As some of you may or may not know, I work very closely with Project Save Our Surf foundation.

It was another amazing adventure to China this year. My trip started off in Beijing for press conference and some sight seeing. From there I flew to Hangzhou to meet my fellow tidal bore surfers and Wabosono crew. Check out our pics from the trip, surfing the tidal bore and a brief blog I wrote while I was there. DAY 1:Our morning starts off the day with a safety briefing meeting on a massive police yacht located on the river. Fifteen eager pro surfers, multiple camera crews, media personnel and government officials are packed like sardines into a room listening to Chinese men tell us what we cant and can do on the river. “No going to close to the river banks due to underwater jetties and poles that can suddenly appear. Don’t go past bridge number 9 where we enter into a new town with different regulations….
