We had a busy afternoon at Raglan Surf Co. - a great surf shop in the heart of town. When we set the date for this event, no-one was aware that it was the same day as a car show and festival in town! But, it all worked out.
One thing we noticed in Raglan - the surfers who live here are PASSIONATELY devoted to their surf break. “You don’t need to go anywhere else, mate. The best waves in New Zealand are right here” we kept hearing again and again.
You can see why - Raglan Point is (more…)

After successfully completing the first stage of the journey through southern California and the Pacific Coast of Northwestern Mexico, “Baby” is fired back up and ready to start the second leg of the tour. Seth Warren and his team designed their nature propelled renewable energy tour to follow the water cycle of the earth. The first part of this cycle started in the oceans with the currents, tides and waves being essential to fulfilling their hybrid lifestyle of educating kids about the importance of renewable energy, promoting sustainability and having fun playing in the surf.

Be sure to check out The Lunchbots. Justin was inspired to create his impulsive “disposable art” after watching Drew’s Paint Pen Techniques DVD and using the vibrant colored Posca Pens. It’s creativity like this that is getting him noticed and will jump start himself into a whole new world.

Baby, oh Baby and the Elements Tour!

Seth Warren is at it again…..the creator of the award winning documentary “OIL + WATER” is now working on his “Elements Nature Propelled” documentary to educate the world on renewable energy.
Why come to San Clemente, you ask? Well, Seth’s documentary is exploring the 4 elements, first being water, which is where Drew fits in. The crew had Drew paint up their message in typical Drew Style on their longboard, and then they all went surfing at San O, then a BBQ, and as it usually goes at the Brophy house, no-one wants to leave, so they all crashed at our pad!

This has got to be our best day this summer! We left Hobcaw to go Kyaking in the North Inlet to a desolate barrier island called North Island.
Scott and Deanna Benston took us on this trip. They have these excursions you can sign up for through Surf the Earth. There’s usually a waiting list - now I know why! It’s amazing, the scenery, the wildlife, the experience.
